What they can do: Drawing programs Games to practice writing letters and numbers Chess Flash Cards access internet games and activities Oregon trail Spelling games Math games for addition facts Animal names and noises A time telling activity with moving clock hands Matching game Shape identification Listening and reading language learning and translation Puzzles for fine motor and more...

How you can use them: Centers (Antonette already has me signed up to come in and use them at a center with students who need help with letters and reversals) Working one on one or in small groups with students on specific skills (I am happy to work with individuals or groups with them if needed). Use it as a behavior reward on occasion for certain students (?) Show it under your document camera for the whole class I am sure you will all have more ideas too!

And to help you learn how to use them and get great ideas, I am happy to send them home with you overnight for homework. Both Susan and Christine have them tonight to play with and see how they might be able to use them with their students. If you are interested in a similar homework assignment, please let me know. They just need to be back in the morning so we make sure kids can use them during the school day. - Alison
