Technology - Getting Started

Yes!  Technology is a must both at home and in school.  If you want to reach your child on their playing field you have to include technology.  Not only do they enjoy it, they will not be able to keep up in society without it.   Teachers, quiz your students on what they already use or are interested in trying out.   

The way I find games is doing a simple Google search.  Type in the subject area along with "online games", "multiplication online games".  Review each game before you before you bookmark the page and set your child loose.  Just because it is educational doesn't mean it is right or even appropriate for your child.  

Search.

Review.

Bookmark.

To bookmark, find the star in the top right hand corner of your screen.  When you click on the star a box appears for you to add a name and folder location.  I suggest creating a folder just for educational games making your resources easier to find.  

Educators, 
Listen up, because if you don't already have a classroom website, create one now.  It is the easiest way to communicate with parents and provide educational extras your students need.
