Biographies with Vokis

Third Grade teachers enjoyed taking a half day of professional development training to refresh and learn new technology skills.  Then, they immediately went back into the classroom and shared their knowledge with their students!  How awesome is that!  Ms. Tyler incorporated Vokis into her students' biography unit.  They created their characters and shared some important information.  View them on Ms. Tyler's TeacherWeb.   http://teacherweb.com/TX/PurpleSageElementary/MrsTyler/apt2.aspx

Third Grade Research Published through Glogster

Third Grade Students conducted research from two resources about an interesting animal. After learning about main idea and details, nonfiction text features, and how to conduct research and take notes, students created Glog pages. They practiced logging on to the website and creating a page showing what they learned about their animal. Most students also added text features similar to ones they encountered in the NF text. Ms. Tyler hyperlinked the Glogs to her TeacherWeb page for parents to view at home. Here is one to share: http://lorintyler.edu.glogster.com/elizabeth/
