One of the most exciting adventures the 3rd grade team at Brookside took on this year was teaching the third graders how to create a digital portfolio using Google Sites. Yes, that's right, every 3rd grader at Brookside has a personal website that they created on their own! One third grade class took on the challenge and created their homepages, complete with a short biography and reason behind the site. Then, a few days later I went in and taught a small group of students how to add pages to their site in order to better organize their projects. After each student completed their own site they became a "tech coach" and taught another student- I stood by with Mrs. Rudden and monitored, but rarely did either of us have to step in- talk about Digital Natives! Once the entire class had finished adding to their sites they went on and taught the other third grade classes! I am constantly amazed by these techies!
