Students are learning how to use recycled keyboards to practice spelling and vocabulary words. Students will use the keyboards for Word Work during Daily 5!
Oh I love this idea! I have never thought about teaching keyboarding in my classroom. My students only get to go to computer class every other week. This is such an important skill and how fun does it look!! I will have to invest in some keyboards! Thanks for sharing! Jodi Southern Sweetie in Second
Definitely ask your local recycling center to save them for you! I was so lucky! Mine saved enough for my entire class. I also had enough for my 2nd grade colleagues to have 5 a piece also! Spoke to my high school keyboarding teacher- she wishes more teachers would teach keyboarding! Good Luck!
I am a 2nd grade teacher from OHIO who is WILD about technology! This fall will be my 17th year of teaching! I have enjoyed sharing my ideas and supporting teachers who have attended my technology sessions. We have traded many ideas and given support to each other over the years through email and Facebook. This blog is a new adventure to share ideas and to learn from a new community! I hope to inspire teachers to use technology in their classrooms. I hope to motivate parents/community members to use technology in their homes and in their daily lives!
