Hello everyone! Spring is finally here! Welcome to my very first classroom website called Fourth Grade On-line! On this website you will find documents attached which showcase some of the projects I have done. I have used MovieMaker to create a narrated film on one of my traveling experiences and used Microsoft Publisher for letters and articles. I am also familiar with social bookmarking, blogs, wikis, and podcasts and how these technology elements help enhance the learning experience. The webquest I created last year is located under the Social Studies link. There something for everyone on this page from awesome on-line activities suited for all children, included those with special needs or ELL students. There are also resources and templates for educators and parents too!

Enjoy!
