Pine Valley Elementary New Hanover County Schools
Students complete an
online literacy project to
analyze and identify the
elements of fiction stories
and novels. Students
access several online,
interactive tools widely
available online to
complete the literacy
project. For this, students
need one-to-one computers
with Internet access. The
grant money will buy 4
laptop computers that will
become a part of a mobile
computer lab.
Haw River Elementary Alamance Burlington Schools
The goal of this project is to provide music education through technology-based learning. The program would include purchasing 25 midi keyboards for the
computers in the lab that include software for composition and computer based music. With this and the Groovy Music Software, I
plan to teach each class basic music concepts, notes and notation, musical terms
theory and basic keyboarding. Involving the "whole child" in the arts gradually teaches many types of literacy, while
developing intuition, sensitivity, reasoning, imagination, and dexterity. Music technology
will help enhance the curriculum and differentiate instruction. I will be bringing harmony into the technology lab through music education and technology. This will
surely “strike a chord “with our students.
Carrboro Elementary Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools
In conjunction with other funds, this
grant money will be used to purchase a
class set of I-Touches and an I-Touch
syncing case. The class set will be split
into 4 classroom center sets and will be
utilized to engage students with content
across the curriculum and periodically
brought back together for full class
projects. The technology will allow
students to access teacher selected
informational videos, recorded lessons
and read alouds, interactive stories and
various skill-building games and
activities. Students will also publish
and share their own reading and writing
through the integration of other forms
of technology in conjunction with
the I-Touches.
