Computer Lab (Study Island Videos)

One of my students noticed that videos has been added to Study Island.  Students are now instructed to review the videos before working that sections problems.  The video is an interactive video that checks for learning understanding.  This is now incorporated into computer time.

Computer Lab (Quizlet Included)

The technology director for the school sent out a list of open source programs.  One of the programs was called quizlet.  This program allows a person to set up vocabulary study cards.  Then it allows the user to play games, study, or quiz over the vocabulary.  I have set up all 3rd grade vocabulary cards in this program.  I have broken the vocabulary down into five sections to make it easier to study.  I have shown the students how to access the program off of my web page.  We are now beginning computer lab time using this program the first 5-10 minutes then going to Study Island.
