Watching our students @GreenleafGators work with #robotics and try, try, again is amazing! Watching our students celebrate their success is awesome! #Perseverance #Success

Only half a class due to the late start, but #pairprogramming gave 2nd graders twice the brain power in Technology Specialist today @GreenleafGators

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

1st Graders doing an awesome job with #pairprogramming today!

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

2nd graders spent this week learning and collaborating with #ozobots We love robotics @GreenleafGators!

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

#kindergarten engineers are using the #engineeringdesignprocess to build collaborative solutions in technology today @GreenleafGators Can’t wait for them to share!

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

#engineeringdesignprocess in kindergarten today! We asked a question, imagined solutions, made a plan, and are now creating our solutions in engineering teams with #lego Next comes sharing and improving our designs @GreenleafGators

Excited to begin week 3 in Tech class @GreenleafGators. So far, students have learned about #DigitalCitizenship, used new tech tools, & created online (with fun movement breaks in between). Looking forward to upcoming #3Dprinting, coding with #Spheros, & #makerspace challenges!

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

This is why I love teaching! This student was mine for the past 4 years. I will miss my sweet, intelligent #5thgraders as they go off to middle school next year @GreenleafGators

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

Our 2nd & 3rd graders @greenleafgators used #makerspace materials to create a background for our green screen, wrote a script, and recorded a video to tell a #digitalcitizenship story. Using #iMovie, they put the pieces together to complete their project. Here is 1 example...

Watch out world...here come the creative technology minds of the future! I am having so much fun this rainy afternoon watching #digitalcitzenship videos created in #iMovie by my kindergarten and first grade students @GreenleafGators

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

So much fun and leaning with #squishycircuits @GreenleafGators today!

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

Feeling proud of our students in 1st grade who created #imovies about #digitialcitizenship #bekindonline this week! Their graphics and messages were amazing! Way to go Gators! @GreenleafGators

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

Loads (pun intended) of creative circuitry this week in technology clubs! We created #squishycircuits, #papercircuits and #bristlebots @GreenleafGators

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

It was a challenge to keep the slippery water beads in the right spot, but #kindergarteners did a great job practicing their letters and numbers in technology clubs this week @GreenleafGators

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

I am feeling proud of our #district196digitalacademy students who are working hard on #digitalcitizenship and #technology skills! Check out one of our first grader's videos made with iMovie. @greenleafgators

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

@GreenleafGators So proud of my techie students!

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

Bringing the #makerspace to the #computerlab. 3rd graders did a great job using the #engineeringdesignprocess to ask, imagine, plan, create, and improve a loop plane in technology today @GreenleafGators

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

So much fun using hands on materials and creating #stopmotion #watercycles in #fourthgrade We can not wait to share our videos @GreenleafGators

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

So much fun today and yesterday with Mrs. Hughes’ 2nd graders in tech club! #ozobots make exploration and learning about cause and effect truly #engaging @GreenleafGators

[Jen Schmidt @SchmidtTechie]

It is a chilly day, but I am excited to be here to help students with their new iPads as we #welcomeback our #greenleafgators for assessment days @GreenleafGators
