I am looking for other suggestions or ideas on how I can use technology in my Pre-K classroom. We have limited funds, so I cannot purchase any items or software for the computer. I have a language master, but there is only so much that you can do with this particular technology. We have a camera in the classroom but it is only supposed to be used by the teachers to take pictures of the students in action making several things when they are in each center. Then we use these pictures to place in their WSS folder as part of their observation. I am completely out of ideas. Does anyone know where I can find or purchase cheap merchandise for my class? I try to use my laptop as a source when we are talking about the different themes and I can find a website that relates to that theme. It’s hard for the students to gather around my laptop and see. I have to show it at least three times for the students to get the total effect. This wastes a lot of my class time to teach other concepts.
I really need your help in this matter!

ReplyDeleteMy 15 year old daughter's elementary school teachers used to publish a "teacher wish list" each fall. This list was given to parents and included things like basic art supplies to Smartboards and everything in between. I remember one teacher asked for donations of age-appropriate educational games (new or used) and she got quite a few of them! I'm not sure whether your student's parents would be willing to help, but you might be surprised how many of them may have surplus equipment to share. It might be worth asking, anyway...Good luck!
