This week students will begin working to create a unique look for the text of their poem, which has been added to an image of a snowflake they created earlier with an online tool. They will use features in Pixie to change the font style, color, and size of the text. Below is an example of what they will be starting with.
In celebration of winter, the students are going to design their own intricate snowflakes using a free online tool. This is reminiscent of cutting out snowflakes from folded paper. This activity works on fine motor and mouse skills. It is always one of the favorite computer activities! They are writing snowflake poems in the classroom to accompany their snowflakes.
Today students will review their introductory keyboarding skills with an interactive learning tool called Keyseeker. This tool 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 color bands on their wrists to help remember which hand to use.
