Native American Regions Presentation

Over the last week our class has been creating a Native American Regions Presentation by using Google Presentation on our school's Chromebooks. While in the classroom we were researching and collaborating, sharing ideas and pictures, and ultimately creating a wonderful slideshow of all our hard work.



I encourage you to take a look at what your students were able to create! They should be very proud of themselves.

Advice from Nature

Over the last few weeks we've been working on giving advice from the point of view of something in nature. Students worked on creating puns that fit their nature item.

Today, we finally finished our project, and the results were great! Here's a few samples of what everyone was able to come up with.

Digital Citizenship

Today in the Computer Lab we began our "Digital Citizenship" lessons. Students will be learning what it means to be a good citizen in the digital world.

I welcome all parents to take a look at what your students are learning, HERE. They all have a log-in and password to access this site.

It should open up good conversations to have with your students about using the internet, as well as their new PUSD gmail accounts. We will be using these accounts throughout the year for a wide variety of uses through Google Apps, such as Documents, Presentation, Form, Spreadsheet... and much more! Your students will become experts in the many ways they can use Google Apps in school.
