Ms. Castaldi's  Journal

2/26/04

We met with Art today and he told me to start my journal on Word and he'll show me how to transfer it onto out web site!   We'll see if I can catch on.   Today I learned a lot with my Kid Pix.   My students were losing their documents because I couldn't figure out how to retrieve them the next day.   Now I know to save them in export and then I can open them again.   I also learned how to open Kid Pix projects in Word.   I think that will be really great!   I noticed today that when I allow my kids to type their stories for picture prompts versus writing them, I get a lot more work.   They are so eager to continue typing and make a really great story.   Usually, it is like pulling teeth to get them to write a story.   I feel that my kids are becoming more proficient in Kid Pix and Word.   They are actually teaching me things that they have learned through “playing around” on the computer.   My new goal is to get my scanner hooked up and start using it.   Art gave me some great ideas to do.   I feel that I am ready to venture onto that!   Wish me luck.
