A Visit to Spanish-6th Grade

November 16th, 2011 Written by admin · Classroom Activities

Today I am visiting 6th Grade Spanish!  I am watching the students show their Google Map tours of cities in Spain.  They researched different cities in Spain, choosing five to seven places of interest.  They worked with a partner and marked the places on a shared Google Map.  Today they are showing the places they chose, using street view of the places if possible.  What a great project!

Welcome Back!

I am really excited to start the new school year!  I had a busy summer.  I went to Florida for a wonderful vacation with my daughter.  I spent some time with my sisters and my parents as well.  The summer passed quickly while I prepared  the computers for the school year.  I am looking forward to working with the Get Techy Club again this year.  Welcome back everyone!
