What’s new in Technology at Bedminster!
1. Morning check-in: Students move their name to check in daily
2. Calendar time: An interactive calendar allows students to manipulate and present information during morning meeting to go along with the daily routines of Everyday Math.
3. Highlighting text evidence: Students highlight evidence during modeled activities. They are able to show where information was found in order to answer questions.
4. Word sorting activities: Students are able to group words according to rules.
5. Graphic Organizers: Teachers are able to demonstrate and have students work to complete these valuable organizational tools.
These are just a few of the ways these fabulous devices are being used in many of our classrooms. Thank you so much to our generous PTG for helping to purchase this interactive technology tool.
