I knew it was coming...the computer lab would be used for online testing. When that happens, my technology classes of about 22 students meet in a regular classroom that has three or four computers. What would my classes do? I found some video clips to show and started creating some puzzles.
I made some puzzles about technology vocabulary. The website The Teachers Corner has been a great resource. They have some premade lists but I've found it easier to simply create my own puzzles. I've used the Crossword Puzzle Maker http://worksheets.theteacherscorner.net/make-your-own/crossword/crossword-puzzle.php and the Word Search Maker http://worksheets.theteacherscorner.net/make-your-own/word-search/word-search.php.
Another helpful website has been the Computer Hope website http://www.computerhope.com/jargon.htm. It has helped me create my kid-friendly clues for the crossword puzzles.
Online testing is only going to increase in the future. If you need to create non-computer activities for your curriculum, check these websites out.
Noticed this blog hasn't been updated in quite a while, but I was trying to reach out to 2 Tech Chicks...Danielle or Nancy. I am a technology educator in Tennessee for 3rd-5th graders, and I absolutely love all of your contributions/downloads on Teachers Pay Teachers. I am needing some downloads that work solely with Google Docs since our school no longer users Microsoft Word. I was wondering if you have anything that could help. Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteHi Robert,
DeleteWe have pretty much ditched the blog altogether.
Can you give me some ideas of what are you looking for?
Nancy
