As an educator, I make the //daily use// of technology apparent in my teaching and provide my students with the skills and platform to do the same. We work hard in our class to bring the content to the computer and to find relationships between school work and personal interests. == ||

====The grade4jrs and grade5jrs wikispaces above and below are used to provide extension activities after each story is read. Games, images, videos, and discussion questions are added to the pages as well as links to author biographies. There are new pages added bi-weekly. In the discussion, students are required to completely answer 2 questions, support their answers, write back to other classmates about their answers, and ask additional questions. Often students will provide links to the place online that helped them answer the questions.====





====The Great Chess Adventure Wiki was based on the "Choose your Own Adventure" book series, this was created in order to generate interest in the game of chess, build some knowledge of it, and as a writing exercise to prepare 3rd graders for an upcoming test with a nonfiction selection about chess, which many students had no experience with.====
