=Welcome to our Computer Lab Sharing Wiki!=

For us to share templates and documents or to post images we will have to use this wiki. With a blog only the creator of the blog can post documents. So I guess this is what you would call the difference between a wiki and a blog. You can still comment on a wiki along with posting stuff to share. So to get started for blog discussion click on the "Discussion" tab at the top on that page click the Edit button on the right (next to the pencil icon) then you should be able to post away. To post documents, images or pictures on this home page just click the Edit (pencil) on the right of the page and you should be able to begin posting documents. Please give it a whirl and we will see how it goes.

Wow! Hello everyone I totally forgot about this wiki to share things between us. We are all doing great things in our labs and with the leader in me. Martha you had some great things to share, maybe you can link those here. Also guys maybe some good websites you use or just links to examples of things you have created like Brenda's Prezies. Lets share some of those things!

I do this with 4th grade. This is an example..we create the page in word and then each student rotates to write a complement about that person. You could add any boarder we do hearts cause I do this around Valentines. This template is universal could be used for any thing...

 * Here are some things I am doing for this school year.**

Here's some of what I am doing this year so far in third grade we are doing some mapping skills first we did the continents I showed them the Continents map then they opened the blank and labeled and colored it..we had to print what we got done you can save but it just saves as a jpg. you can't get it back to the program to finish. Labeled and Colored Continents After this then we did this mapping excercise...I am think of doing another one for next week for a different area so see if kids can work the map. (haven't dediced yet) I also showed a brainpop movie on mapping before we did this.

Of course in 1st grade they are doing the butterfly thing so last week we did this. And this week we are drawing butterflies in paint. Fifth grade is creating Wiki pages. And created avatar's and voki. Fourth grade is doing the Word Name and inserting photo's. This week we are creating college pennets. 2nd Grade is doing this is me:



If you use the ornament templates you have to save them in the old word 97 format or the photo's you insert will not print, believe me it took me about 50 sheets of trying and Martha coming over too before I figured out the issue! It drove me nuts yesterday.

Here is a cool website for decorating a Gingerbread Man Gingerbread man

OK...I'm going to try and upload a file. I do this activity with 3rd grade, although you could do it with almost any grade. I use Kid Pix since Macs don't come with a paint app. It's fun (oh no!) and the kids enjoy it! From Brenda I loved your idea of the gingerbread house on the wiki page. I made a template in excel, saved it to Kidpixs. After the students 'painted' their house, they decorated with the celebrate stamp set.

Here are some examples for Thanksgiving: I do this one with kindergarten, we open it in word and use the fill bucket to color the turkey then we insert our face photo's we took at the beginning of the year in the face of the turkey. The kido's are so exited when they see their little faces in the turkey.

I do this with any of the grades for a lesson on spreadsheets. We then create a pie chart and add a image for Thanksgiving and print.

The images above are great to use with Paint or Kidpix. The children choose the pet they have (or would like to have) and draw homes and habitat for their pet.

Here's something I did with 5th grade and Health. (Pat)
