My Project

My third grade students are wonderful writers. In order to meet some of our state writing standards, they need to be able to use technology to produce and publish writing. At this point, though, their keyboarding skills are really not up to speed...literally or figuratively.

Computer dictation to the rescue!

This amazing technology allows my writers to quickly read their handwritten work and watch it appear on their screens, ready to be easily revised, edited, and published. The headphones with microphones will make this process even better...no more spreading out all over our room to avoid picking up someone else's voice.

These dedicated learners will also enjoy their nice, quiet reading time, thanks to the noise cancelling earmuffs and some brand new books for our classroom library. Thank you!
