Technology Enhances Learning

Here at PMMS we use technology in a variety of ways. Just today students in Drama class are recording their voice into microphones, saving the recording on the computer and then listening to the recordings for tone, inflection and more. The 8th grade science students are studying the scientific method and are video taping the process for analyzing the steps. A sixth grade math teacher used the scanner to copy a typed sheet of numbers and then he is using his school pad and passing it around the room for students to circle certain prime numbers that are referenced during the class. A 7th grade teacher is using the personal response system with her students today to review and test for understanding.
