Welcome to Ms. Hankins' Space Here are my reflections from the Excel course.

Here are some lessons we did in science using the technology. On one, I had the students sort the different images into whether they thought the images were living or non-living. The third file shows how I used to SMART board and technology to create a web that students added to. I was then able to print it in color so they could add it to their science journals. I also used a video from Discovery Streaming, "The Life Cycle of the Monarch Butterfly", which was really helpful. Using the Smart Video player, I was able to stop the video to make notations for the students. It made the lesson much more interactive and the students could relate what they saw on the video to what was actually happening in our classroom with our caterpillars. Here are some examples of student work. After many lessons on habitats and what animals need, students used technology to create posters about what they had learned about different animals and their habitats.
