Computer Lab

Today the class went to the computer lab. I was very interested to see what types of programs would be used. The students went to program called Study Island. On this program, students were working on math concepts. The students take quizes that test their math concepts and in order to move on to the next concept, the studens must get an award next to the concept. While taking the tests, the students could play games to mark their answers. One thing that I noticed worked with one of the slower students was to not allow him to play the games but to just take the test. Once this was done, he was able to master 3 concepts while he was in the lab. I knew that he felt good because he was so excited and could not wait to tell the teacher. They also worked on Type To Learn 3.
