21st Century Learning





















The 21 st Century Learner in Our Classroom
During this school year students have been using technology in
the classroom as a learning tool. They have used computers to research, gather
and organize information on a variety of topics. Students have sharpened their
presentation skills by producing cross curricular projects using a variety of
media programs (e.g. MovieMaker, Prezi, Corel Presentations, Blogger and
Glogster). As a final project, a group of students were asked to create a Glog
that would show you some of the computer activities and assignments that our
class has been working on. You can check out their collaborative project by
clicking on the hyperlink above. You will have to "Temporarily Allow Pop-ups" to
view the internal glogs.
A job well done goes out to: Adam, Laura, Henry, Kristen, Erica and Jack.


View the video below on how to make your own Glog.
