Technology Open House at LaFontaine

 The 5th Grade Teachers hosted a Technolgy Open House Prior to the class Musical. Parents, siblings and grandparents toured the classrooms and the mobile lab  while students demonstrated thier iPad, SMARTBoard and laptop skills.  Student projects and  reports were proudly on display.

With the update for the AR app the students can look up their points and past test scores.  Haveing AR on the iPad has been great.  No more kids sitting around waiting to take tests or arguing over who is next to take their test.  The kids have been much more productive during the silent reading time that we are able to have.

All iPad Enthusiasts!

  Welcome!  Thank you for taking the time to visit a new feature of our site - our Classroom Innovation Blog. 

What is a blog, you ask?  A blog is short for "web log" - it's essentially an online journal.  In the past, adding web content took quite a bit of time, but blogs make web publishing infinitely easier.  Blogs are useful because the author(s) can spend less time adding content and more time focusing on their passion - in our case it's our students.  Select teachers from MSDWC will be sharing student experiences using cutting edge technology through this journal.

We are very excited about this opportunity - so please check back frequently for new posts.
