During the last New Student Open House, my second graders showed off their tablet skills.  As prospective parents walked around the school, they were surprised to see a class of second graders using this technology.  Many stopped in and asked the students what they were doing and how they liked using the tablets.  Many commented that they were not familiar with this technology. I gave a few short demonstrations with my tablet since it was connected to my LCD player for the lesson.

I am quite proud of how my class is handling this experience.  Many are able log on and open into Journal and are able to shut down the tablets with no help.  Some are willing to help those students who still need a little reminder or assistance.  There are only a few that are not comfortable with the routine and need more assistance.  I am also so proud of the way they return the tablets to the carts.  They are showing me that they are responsible and are able to handle this privilege.
