I found this article from a
kindergarten teacher regarding using technology in the kindergarten classroom
during writing time and felt this was something I am struggling with right now.
Now with our new common core standards the writing standards for kindergarten
are the one set of standards that I am finding it difficult to figure out how
to manage in the kindergarten classroom. One of the common core new writing
standards states "with guidance and support from adults, explore of
variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing, including in
collaboration with peers."
That whole statement scares me a little as I think about
implementation. What does guidance and support look like? What kind of digital
tools? What is considered a variety? Collaboration with peers? In kindergarten?
Yikes!
Then I stop and think about our day to day world and how much we
all do together in the classroom and feel like maybe I do hit that standard
more than I am realizing, but then again maybe not. This article shows how one
extremely creative teacher uses it in her classroom. I am hoping that we have
the software available at our school to try something similar. I am excited to at least
give it a try…
