Portable Technology

This week, our blogging session went on the road. Well, actually, instead of going up to the computer lab, as we usually do, we brought a mobile laptop cart into my classroom because I was bumped from the lab for teacher training. I'm flexible...not a problem. Kim did a great job of helping me figure out where I could get the number of laptops I needed to be able to have one for every student. Many thanks to Mr. K. McMahon for his loan of the 6th grade tech cart.

When it comes to whole classes on computers at the same time, I prefer working in the lab because the distribution of the laptops is cumbersome & time-consuming.

As far as the blogging assignment goes, the majority of the class is really getting the hang of the blogging assignment, but I'm still not sure they are using their class-time wisely.

It's frustrating that I'm still having to chastise students for going to websites they shouldn't and for spending more time playing with font colors than with creating their posts.
