Mrs. Fosnight’s Classroom Edit display name

All of my students love to use technology in the classroom, but they don't always love studying civics and history. Add computers to any lesson and suddenly everyone is interested. However, we don't have enough computers for everyone. Incorporating Lenovo Chromebooks into daily lessons allows students to improve their technology skills and literacy skills. Sometimes it is difficult to get students interested in ancient civilizations, so I must find creative ways to help them understand why the topic is important. By researching primary sources, students can read and see first-hand accounts of the past, which helps them make connections between the past and present. Students can then demonstrate their own learning by creating and sharing projects, such as Powtoon videos. The laptops can also be used to participate in Google Classroom activities to research current events and connect those events to the units we study.
