Busy in Tech
Fifth grade has been busy in tech this month! The girls have been learning the basics of using a laptop. During the first week of school, the girls learned about acceptable use (how to hold and travel with the laptop, rules of use, etc.). Next, the girls learned about Google Drive and how to create and add to folders. This year, students will be able to save work to Google Drive. Information on accessing your daughter's Drive will be coming home in the future so that you can view the work from home! In addition to Google Drive, the girls have also learned how to use Edmodo, a learning management system, to communicate with teachers and fellow students. In fifth grade, the girls are introduced to email as well. We have started exploring the Creation Station centers which include making with duct tape and blackout poetry! Some of the girls have also started their first Creation Station project - building a catapult!
