Technology Class: Dec 12-16
The season for winter break has started and the impatience is in the air. Even with antsy kids, we still managed to get a lot of stuff done.
Have a great break!
Kindergarten: We used Kid Pix to create Hanukkah cards. The kids drew something associated with Hanukkah, whether it was family, presents, a dreidel, a menorah, or gelt. The students then put their names on them and we printed them out to go home.
1st Grade: We finished our Hanukkah cards. The students opened up Kid Pix, then opened their work from last week. The students finished adding drawn elements, stickers, and typed text. They then saved again and printed.
2nd Grade: 2B – Monday - We started on our Hanukkah cards. In this first portion, the students used http://images.google.com to search for images related to Hannukah then saved them to their folders. Next week we will put them into Kid Pix and finish up the card then print them.
2A – We used Kid Pix to create our Hanukkah cards. The students found appropriate backgrounds, imported images from the previous class, and added text. They then saved their work and printed it.
3rd Grade: 3A – The students came in late, so we were unable to print their work, but they did create Hanukkah cards on Kid Pix. Some students saved their work.
3B – The students were given free time as it was the last day before break. They had a choice of playing on the Internet or play with Kid Pix.
4th Grade: Mr. B and Mrs. Seligman took the computer time to complete an in-class assignment using the computers.
Homework:
5th Grade: We finished up our Powerpoint projects. The students were given 45 more minutes to clean up their work and make sure it was all ready for their presentations in January. They students will give their presentations the first week in January.
Homework:
6th Grade: Since it was the last day of school before the break, I gave the students free time. But we did install Photoshop Elements 3 on several of their computers. We will finish the installations in January.
Homework:
7th Grade: We continued to play with Macromedia Flash. The students were exposed to a few more elements of the drawing palette and learned a bit about Shape Tweening. We will jump in with both feet when we return in January.
Homework:
8th Grade: We spent the first half of the class discussing the MySpace issue from the previous class with Mrs. Lewin. We held a Q & A where the students were got clarification on the reasons for decisions that were made. I then informed them that any information or pictures that mentioned the school or were taken at school needed to be removed that night, or actions would be taken. Then we spent the rest of the class talking about editing for tone. We talked about how fast cuts make the action feel more intense and long takes slow down the action.
Homework:
