THE SCOOP ON-LINE

ELMO is new piece of instructional technology equipment popping up around our school district. Room 4B just used one for the first time today. As document camera and projector, ELMO has lots of classroom uses.

As students completed a writing assignment today, ELMO projected the assignment onto the screen for everyone to see. The author got to read their work to the class, while everyone read along silently. We discussed the paper’s neatness and I made suggestions about how to slow down to improve handwriting so the audience could read it more easily. Then the class checked through their proofreading checklist to see how the already corrected papers fared. Overall, writing seems to have improved pretty dramatically since the beginning of this year. Hopefully, our new ELMO will help provide feedback to help students improve even more.
