And so it ends....

With comps ending a huge relief has been lifted off my shoulders.

But, I have some more good news I would like to share with everyone!! I recently received an educational grant through the Ed Foundation and was able to purchase 1 Wii, 3 extra controllers, 5 Nintendo Ds', and 5 My Word Coaches for the DS. I've used my own Wii in the classroom with My Word Coach and it is such a great learning tool. The kids are engaged and learning all at the same time. I'm really excited to have this technology available to my students.
I haven't used the DS yet, but I am hoping to test it this week. I do believe it will work our just fine. Working in a school where technology is at the bottom of the list, I've really had to push to get what I have!

  2. I have always wanted to get the Nintendo DS for my intensive math classes and use the big brain academy game with them. I just never thought I would get that approved since it is a "game." Maybe I will try next year:)
