Tech Talk

     In Lakewood City Schools, one of the "Top 20 by 2020" goals set out by Superintendent Jeff Patterson is for technology to be integrated into the teaching and learning in every classroom.  Here at Horace Mann, we are utilizing ever-changing resources to do just that.

   

     One neat example of using web resources for education is the Glogster Virtual Field Trip poster created for 4th and 5th graders by Mrs. McCafferty (our Speech/Language Pathologist, also known as Mrs. Mac).  Mrs. Mac not only provides speech services for students with speech difficulties, but she also does classroom lessons for all students to help them develop their language and communication skills.  Click the link to see poster she created using Glogster related to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day:  http://ellenmc.edu.glogster.com/edit/virtual-field-trip-to-the-mlk-memorial/

     As families know, most of our students are very interested in technology in all settings.  It is exciting to learn about and try the new applications and tools available.  At the same time, all of the changes in technology can be overwhelming.  If you ever have questions about how to access or use technology for your students' education, please contact me or your child's teacher.  If we don't know the answer, we will find someone who does!
