2/7/2017 February 7, 2017Today third graders finished their Magic Beans and Magic Keys posts. Through the course of this activity we have worked on a variety of word processing skills. Using keyboard shortcuts to cut and paste, they rearranged the events in the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. An intro to the scribble tool in the Microsoft drawing tools had them designing their own bean, and then using ctrl + d to duplicate the beans. Beans were then formatted using line and fill tools. The beans were then snipped and saved as a PNG file. Finally students took turns adding sentences to a Google Doc via Google Voice Typing. It allowed them to see how enunciation matters in dictation. Today they used ctrl +c to copy the saved text from the group narration and add it to their post to share their learning and their beans. We hope you will visit the Magic Beans and Magic Keys posts and leave a comment for them. They have worked hard on acquiring a number of new skills. Comments are closed.
