My name is Kath Penner.
This year, I am teaching grade one at JR Walkof schol, both firsts for me.
I have spent many hours thinking about technology integration and have done a few little things. I still have a long way to go....
One of my favorite websites right now, for my grade one class, is www.starfall. .com
----------
Firstly, A Thanksgiving Tradition, was put together by Tegan, who is in grade 3 at JR Walkof.
We took the sequence of events, and then she added the script, and the text to the pages she chose.
It is a really neat way to capture stories, events, and highlights and this story will be saved for future memories.
And YES, it is a true story that happens each year at The Farm
A 40 year old family tradition
The teachable moment,or thematic content

Love this wiki Kate! Your projects are inspiring, and I am sure, extremely motivating to your students. Thanks for inviting me to your wiki.
How much of the process do the students do, or is that dependent on the specific activity that day? How do you determine when you use the technology and when you let the students do it all?
