Ms. Day's first grade class has been using the Samsung SDP-860 Document Cameras a lot lately!  The video below shows Grace sharing her picture and thoughts about what she'll do when she's 100 years old.  

Ms. Day is also using the camera to help her students increase their reading fluency.  Students are recorded reading from text.  They can then review the video, discuss what they like and don't like, what they may or may not change in their reading and then have an opportunity to re-record.  Students are highly motivated to improve their performance and love hearing and seeing themselves on the computer screens.  

Lots of fun and learning going on in first grade!

Mr. Stout's art students are recording audio files to accompany their artwork and making them available to download by creating QR codes. The codes can be scanned with handheld devices which decode the black and white bricked images.  Once they scan, the code reading app navigates the user to a web-host which allows the audio to be played back.  Come by Great Oaks or scan the codes right from this screen and listen to what our children have to say about art!
