What 21st Century Kindergarteners Know

13 Mar

Kindergartners at PS 130 are using technology in the classroom to build skills to operate computer-based resources according to the National Ed-Tech Standards (NETS).  In the process they are building the fundamentals of media literacy — picking up related vocabulary, and getting a handle on the basics of what it means to communicate and play on the Internet.  This video includes tutorials recorded by 4 K classes to help themselves remember, and other students and teachers out there know what they’re learning.  It’s awful cute:

Elephant baby video, by Class 2-407

22 Jan

Hello world, 

Emmanuel on Baby Elephants

Emmanuel on Baby Elephants

This movie requires Adobe Flash for playback.

We found a nice video today about baby elephants.  Here is what we saw (group writing): 

The elephants were very wrinkly.  They might be wrinkly because the land is dry.  The baby stays close to its mother because it is afraid.  The babies are about the size of a lion.  Ms. Nemer says that a mother elephant is pregnant for 2 years!   The baby had no tusks yet, but the mother had them.  

Here is the address where you can watch the video we watched: http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/Animals/CreatureFeature/African-elephant
