O Parochial School

H
Students began an expository writing piece in MS Word using the research they found last week. I helped students with formatting issues such as font and spacing. I also helped those still finishing up research with keywords to use in searches.

N
Students worked on Ticket to Read. She managed students and their use of the program. Students were easily able to navigate the website and activities.

Mu
Students continued using Rosetta Stone at their individual levels to learn Spanish. I troubleshot computers, headphones, and laptops so that students could use the program effectively.

W
Students used interactive activity I found to practice puntuation. I helped them to navigate to the website and facilitated use of the activity. Modeling the activity with the Smartboard (had it been available) would've been more effective for this lesson.

Troubleshooting
Added desktop shrotcuts for programs (Ticket to Read, Rosetta Stone) used at the school.
Fixed mouse one computer by reinstalling. Turned off mute for computers that didn't have sound. Tower of SMartboard computer had no power, so attempted to switch it to a second computer but the it needed a switch box (didn't have) to accomodate the moniter.
