Release the Artist In You

Students have worked with Pixie at school and enjoy expressing their creative talent. It allows them to create pictures, paint and manipulate pictures. Take that talent home with you by connecting to the website Kerpoof Studio. Here students can make a drawing, create a storybook and play picture games. Visit the site and post a comment to let me know what fantastic art you created. http://www.kerpoof.com

Audacity Can Help Your Fluency


Use Audacity to improve your fluency. If you have sound and a microphone to your computer, you can download Audacity and playback a sound recording of yourself reading. Practice reading poetry or prepare yourself for a drama recitation. Use Audacity to make a sound recording and then burn it to a CD and listen as you ride in your car or give it as a gift. Let me know what cool things you created with your Audacity sound recordings.

Learning The Keyboard


I have talked about the importance of learning the keyboard. I have also explained how valuable it will be to a student in preparing documents when the need to see the keyboard is minimized. Challenge yourself in keyboarding by visiting these sites and practicing your skills. Let me know how you did or if you have visited other typing sites that I should add to my list.
