Welcome to Technology Class!

On the first day of class, we will discuss the classroom rules and expectations for the year.  I will teach the 1st graders how to get into the 1st Grade Technology blog so they can access fun websites from home (and during class time).  I will also introduce our new online math program -- Mathletics (www.mathletics.com).  Each student has their own account with a user name and a password.  We will practice navigating this site and playing math games.  I'm looking forward to a great year with 1st grade and helping them to increase their knowledge and comfort level with technology!
