Connect with ePals!

Classrooms are using ePals to connect with other classrooms both in the United States as well as other countries. We are excited to learn what other classrooms are doing and how they are using technology to learn.

Stay tuned, we will be blogging here to comment on what we learn with our ePals Classrooms!

Room 103 "COMPUTER STARS"

The "One Laptop Per Child" Project and Ola Technology at King Open is back in session starting this year off in grades 1 and 2. These mobile, green, durable and friendly laptops were in full action with the students in Aida's and Maria's Ola classroom. Students explored writing, photography, connecting with their friends to play games such as "Connect Four" as well as drawing. Students will be sharing the news and excitement with the public in the news on television this month.

Click "OLPC" to learn more information about this project. Also, watch this video to learn the background of this powerful, mini laptop! See more visits from OLPC to the King Open School in other grades and classrooms under the title "School News".

Please click on the word "Comment" below to write what you liked most about using the laptops in your classroom.

BlogSpot

Welcome to a spot to write on this blog. Increase reading and writing with a weblog or "blog". A blog is a shared online journal where students develop their reading and writing skills.

This is going to be used to connect outside of room 213 and King Open School. Stay tuned!
