Starting the Year in the Elementary Computer Lab
Besides the obvious tasks of going over procedures, rules, and expectations for the computer lab, I would always do some of these other basic tasks and activities with the students as well at the beginning of each new school year.
I hope these ideas and sites are helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me and ask questions for any other Ed Tech ideas. I'm happy to help!
Grades K-1
Many of these students may have never used a computer before. Thus, they need to learn the basic skills of using a keyboard and a mouse properly. I have many links on my Live Binder site via the Purple tabs. However, here are a few sites that I love to begin with for this age group:
Grades 2-5
These students may need to review skills such as using a keyboard/mouse, navigating the Internet, and/or basic typing skills. The Purple and Brown tabs via my Live Binder site have many great sites for helping students review and showcase basic computer skills. Here are a few of my favorites:

Online Resources to Help Avoid the "Summer Slide"
As a teacher, one of the big frustrations at the beginning of every school year, is having to reteach skills to students that were taught to them at the previous grade level.
While it's nice to have summers off, it really can "hurt" students in terms of the academic knowledge that can be lost.
It's vital to let parents know the importance of reading, practicing basic math facts, etc. during the summer months. The more they engage in these type of activities, the more they'll retain.
Below are some links with great resources, tips, and online activities to help students avoid the Summer Slide.

Legit or Not? How can you tell?
I know that one of the areas that is hard for me to explain to students, is how to tell if a website is legit or not. I know ways to tell, but it's hard for me to convey that message in a way that they will understand.
Luckily, after doing some searching and reading, I have found multiple resources to help me teach this skill. I am most likely going to teach this to my 3rd graders next week. It's a very valuable skill to learn and use, especially as students get older. They will be doing more and more research online so it will important that they are aware of how to find accurate and valid information.
Below are many links to ideas and resources for teaching this skill. However, if you have any other ideas or links that would also help, I would LOVE to hear them! Thanks!

Science + Social Studies = Tons of Fun!
With the focus in today's society being placed heavily on Math and Reading, sometimes it's hard to fit in all that is needed for Science & Social Studies. I personally am a fan of both subjects. When I taught in a 5th grade classroom the Solar System and Weather units were my favorite in science. I enjoyed pretty much all of the Social Studies because it was American History, which I love!
To help teach or reinforce skills in both Science and Social Studies, I am including many links below. I hope they will be of use to those who need them. You may also check out my Live Binder site for even more links to various subjects.

Ready for the Year!
After many hours of hard work this week, I am officially ready to welcome students into my computer lab tomorrow! I am teaching K-4 this year, due to a huge student population increase (last year I was K-5). I am excited about this, even though I have to travel next door to our other building, the "middle" school, in order to teach my 4th graders.
Below, I am posting a few pics of my classroom. I used Angry Birds and Social Media as my major theme this year. I hope you enjoy!
Best of luck to everyone as you begin your new school year!

Soarin' Through the Solar System
Our second graders are in the middle of their unit on the Solar System. I always loved that unit when I taught 5th Grade! It's just so fascinating! It's also one that students seem to usually enjoy as well.
Below are some great links to help students learn all about our planets and much more!
