Welcome to Science and Technology in the Ladybug Classroom

The first week of PreK is always exciting. We are beginning our school year with 11 children - 6 girls and 5 boys. I am looking forward to this year because of the addition of new technology tools. I have added a wireless digital microscope that will work with our classroom ipads. I have also added the Livescribe Echo Smartpen. These new tools, along with our Mimio interactive system and wireless pad, other digital microscopes, computers, iPods, digital and Flip cameras, will support our very young "digital natives". I am participating in three collaborative groups: the Austin ISD TechnoScientists4, BLOCKS, and CIESE Square of Life Project.
