Today students will do an activity using Pixie in which they identify different articles of clothing worn by Pilgrims. Then they will create their own picture using Pixie software in which they illustrate something they are thankful for.
Today students will use an interactive learning tool called Keyseeker to continue to build their introductory keyboarding skills. Keyseeker helps the students recognize letters on a keyboard and prompts them to use the correct hand to strike the key. The keyboard is split into purple for left and green for right hand. The students use bands on their wrists to help remember which hand to use.
Today students are going to learn the terms Hardware, Software, Computer and Applications through an activity. Students will pair up. One student will be the computer and the other the application. The computer will have a blank piece of paper and pencil. The application will have a drawing that the computer can't see. They will sit back-to-back and the application will tell the computer what to draw by using words describing "shapes" and "locations". The results are always entertaining. The students learn that applications have to be very exact about their instructions for the computer to do what is expected.
