Technology is Alive in our Classroom!

Dear Parents,

Today we really took advantage of technology at Cornerstone. In reading we are reading a selection about the famous Duke Ellington. We watched an online video of Duke and his band. Ask your child about Duke's music. You may want to watch the video at home with your child. We also introduced a new reading station using digital storytelling and a site where students can type their own story and actually listen to it read aloud online. During writing the students used the iphone as a microphone to read their expository essays out loud. Try out the following sites: storybird.com, naturalreaders.com, carnegieligrary.org/kids/storymaker/storymaker.swf
