We have the amazing opportunity this year to have laptops aid us in our learning and it's only going to get better and better as Old High students learn to reach out to the world through technology.
Upon project completion, students will write and blog about their learning experiences as well as share photos of their work. Coming soon, our 6th graders will use their laptops to help with their first project based learning activity-an activity to learn about graphic and package design in art.
Below are some images during our first few weeks of school where 5th graders used the internet to research and create their visual libraries:
On the other hand, Old High students are also learning very useful tool skills. We have been introduced to our new classroom tool, a Dremel jig-saw to help with some of our innovative hands-on activities. Safety guidelines have been set up in class while using this tool and forms are going home about this tool.
Even though our Dremel tool is mainly being used for cardboard cuts, it is amazing to see what the students can create!
