Well, last week was my final week teaching Mr. Bunker's 4th grade class. It was so much fun! I'm really going to miss my students. The last week we taught they began using the Alpha Smarts. These are awesome! The students were able to type their reports on these keyboards that had a small screen on top. They could see about four lines at a time of what they were typing. These are nice because students can type at their own desks and they aren't distracted, like they would be at a computer, by all the games and internet axcess available to them. They were able to focus on what they were typing and get it done. Then when they were done they could hook their Alpha Smart to the printer and print off their report. Way cool!!!
It was fun, but I am excited to get back to class and see everyone again. Also, I can't wait to get through the next few weeks of final projects, tests, and portfolio assignments, and get into the Holidays!!! :) Wahoo!

Hi Kara! Sounds like field was lots of fun for you. This Alpha Smarts thing sounds really interesting... gotta admit I'm kinda jealous, our school didn't have much as far as technology goes. See ya back in class soon!
I'm glad you were able to see another type of technology there is so much to help you as teachers and present lessons. The Alpha Smarts are a cool piece to have in the classroom. I'm glad you had a good experience, it all went so fast, and final week is fast approaching. Have a good Thanksgiving.
