Today I worked with Emily using a Journal blank template for 5th graders to write out their country name for their flag. They learned to change pen colors, thickness, and the toolbars.

I also worked with Suzy in 2nd grade art where they used Ink art and the paintbrush in that program. They learned to open the tablets, twist, and log in.

Then I worked with Rob and Journal Music notation. We are looking at using the Power Toy - Music Composition to create and playback music notation.

We found that the fully charged tablets could remain on and open from 12:30-3:00 without incident. But we also found that some are having trouble grabbing the laptop profile therefore making it a little challenging to save and open programs.

 Suzy has found that while learning to use the tablets and the software students need to be able to work through the process in a locked step fashion especially if their is only one teacher. "Lay the stylus on the table" is a great way to hold their attention.

Tablets need to be wiped down with the blue cloths after use.
