Welcome to our classroom blog!

This blog is being created as a learning tool for both myself (the teacher) and my students.

Thinkfinity




Thinkfinity is a technology tool that I recently discovered. As a 3rd grade teacher, there are many different ways that I could incorporate technology from this site into my curriculum. They provide links to interactive games and activities that the students would love to explore. I especially like the online tools such as essay map and letter generator that take the students through a step by step process in creating essays and maps. Third graders are eager learners especially when technology is a part of the learning process. I believe the opportunity to use these tools will generate a higher level of performance from my students that I would get by using paper and pencil activities.
