Toys to Tools - Echo Ed T3/27/
Staff at Echo School District have taken great strides during the past two years implementing technologies which support content curriculum. In the beginning, these teachers were learning the basics of how to run a windows based laptop to obtaining experimental data with a science probe. Students were just as new to technologies displaying the "make hand shadows in under a document camera" behavior.
Over the years these technologies have grown from the exciting new toys to tools expected to be used everyday in the classroom. Earlier this year teachers from Echo presented at NCCE on effective lessons with science probes in the elementary classrooms. Copy and paste no longer become lessons for upper elementary students, but embedded practice.
What we would like for you to do is visit our video blog and see technology with our students. You will also notice other links from this video blog if you are interested in seeing our grant moodle site, our individual class blogs, and our district website.
