Wales First Graders have experienced a lot of growth in their digital literacy skills second semester. Students not only have used the computers to practice math and reading skills, they also have discovered educational tools using our library digital Makerspace links. With regular visits to the lab, students have been introduced to proper technique for Keyboarding the Home Row, narrated an animated nonfiction slide show using PowToon, built virtual Lego creations using Build it With Chrome, and made a 3-Dimensional design to accompany their Realistic Fiction writing. The links they have been using in class are free and open for use throughout the year.
