Technology
Since GVSU has partnered with PBS, I decided to take advantage of the program PBS offers, which is PBS LearningMedia. I had my third graders create accounts and complete two activities on the site. I made a quiz on prefixes and suffixes that students took and an assignment in which students watched a video and answered a couple of questions. Not only are students reviewing pertinent content, but they are also strengthening their computer skills. The prefix and suffix quiz consisted of multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. The questions relating to the video consisted of the same type of questions. Understanding how to use technology like a computer is crucial in our society, which is why I think both activities were truly beneficial to my students.
