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!

Congratulations on the grant! That is a wonderful way to obtain items for the classroom.
ReplyDeleteI 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:)
