1st and 2nd grade video resources to accompany Storytown reading program

I’m excited for this year and have already begun incorporating technology in a couple of ways: First I am using Excel to house and display my student reading assessments. I needed a little refresher on conditional formatting in version 2007 so I just watched a quick Atomic Learning video. (Don’t forget our new login is at http://www.atomiclearning.com/login/adams14 Just login with your district network login credentials). Next, I’m using the SmartBoard quite a bit for math and literacy. A great resource I also use quite a bit is DiscoveryEducation.com’s video library. Last spring Tara Ward and I put together a list of video resources for first and second grade to accompany the Storytown reading program. These video clips are largely from Discovery education and YouTube. The resources can be found here: http://eslpages.pbworks.com/StoryTown.

Vendor Contests for Classroom Technology

Atomic Learning and einstruction have announced contests for teachers and students to win some pretty nice classroom technology. Go to the links to find out the contest details. Remember you can't win if you don't play. For those of you who may go for the einstruction video contest I can help out with cameras and training.

Atomic Learning Customized Resources

Global Learners,

We are up and running with our Atomic Learning Portal. All Adams 14 certified staff have had personal accounts created and Principals were asked to forward the invitation to login to Atomic Learning. We will be rolling out Administrator and students accounts shortly.

As you may remember the AL Portal gives us the opportunity to create and share lessons, activities, and tutorials. We are ready to do just that. Below is a link to Jon Fisher's Smart Notebook "Place Value" lesson for 2nd Grade Math.

The links will take you directly to Atomic Learning where you can log in to view Jon's lesson.

• Smart Notebook Classroom Activities


• A. 2nd Grade Math
  
• Teaching Place Value (lesson plan)
• Teaching Place Value (flash video)

I urge all Global Learners to submit to me lessons, activities, and/or tutorials that can be shared on the Atomic Learning Portal. Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Dave
