I had to change the theme of this blog because of some glitches I was experiencing. This new theme will allow for easier navigation! Enjoy!
Podcasts: Our first attempts March 12, 2008
Posted by kjwinsper in March.2 comments
I’ve been working with students and teachers at both of my elementary schools to create podcasts. Actually, these first attempts at recording the students are more like oral sharing without any bells and whistles. This is a great way for students to share what they’re doing in school with their families here and abroad. You can listen to Mrs. Johnson’s first graders share their thoughts on the Red Eyed Tree Frog and Mrs. Drollett’s second graders share reports on various animals. Also, you can find pen pal messages from Mrs. Perkson’s second grade class to their friends in China. Mrs. Rogers first graders’ Wall of Fame project is now online too! In the weeks ahead, I hope to include many more classes in this new endeavor: Mrs. Glynn’s first graders will be sharing about the life cycle of the butterfly and Mrs. Hamilton’s class will share their BioPoems. We’d love to hear what you think! Feel free to leave a comment here or on the grade level pages after you’ve listened to our online podcasts. Enjoy!
What’s in a name? February 14, 2008

Sometimes, when you think something is going to be really easy, it becomes a daunting task. Like naming this blog for example. After viewing lots of cleverly named blogs, I began to sweat and struggle with a name for this one. I started to think about the purpose behind this blog and realized that my goal is to share all of the good things we are doing to integrate technology into the regular curriculum. With that thought in mind (and also for being known to say this on a daily basis around my schools), I came up with IT’S ALL GOOD and I think it fits.
