Eris

So small, yet so bright

If you looked you’d loose your sight

Named after the Goddess of Chaos

She would Chase us

If we saw her…..

Good morning grade 6. What do you think about the technology we have used over the last couple months? Has it helped your learning?

We have done quite a bit. Look back at the blog and think about how technology was used in the class room. We used quizlet to practice vocabulary, we played math games to enhance our skills. We began to use web searches for photographs and we started using email. We talked about online safety and linked to websites that taught us about endangered animals, ecosystems, volcanoes and earthquakes. We also practiced typing, making charts and reading websites.

So, tell me what you liked best. Was there anything else you wished we covered? How do you use the internet for your own learning?

Please comment with 4-5 sentences.
