How to Wash Your Hands - Technology to Promote Health! 

Our Nurse at Gattis, Teresa Edgemond likes to be sure all of our students are preventing the spread of germs. To help demonstrate how to properly wash hands at school we enlisted the help a Kindergarten student, Aureylia and our ITS, Angie Hintz to created this video. The video is being shown on our School Broadcast, and now here on our Technology Blog. Technology is a great way to get a message across to our students and community.

PE Teaches Dance with Technology

Our wonderful P.E. Teachers Alett Rosberg and Cindy Healy got the kids all grooving in the air conditioned gym during the first week of school.  How can the kids see them do the dance moves? How will they be able to keep the attention of so many of them?  The answer, a very very large whole wall projection of a teacher teaching the moves.  The kids felt like they were at the movies and loved every minute of it.  As I walk down the hall, I still hear some of them sing some of the words to "Peanut Butter Jelly Time", the name of the song and dance that they learned.

Animal Research PowerPoints in Grade 1

First grade classes researched animals on Pebble Go and created PowerPoint projects. Once teachers showed them how to create one they took off, even adding transitions and sound. They had so much fun!  Check out some of the projects here.

Edmodo- online collaboration

Some of our students and teachers are really taking advantage of Edmodo, an online safe and secure social network.  Teachers can assign lessons, share files, start blog posts and much more.  Here, Mr. Brillhart's Tag class is using Edmodo in class to collaborate with each other!  Check out www.edmodo.com ‎
