Our local district is implementing iPads in the classroom (3-5 per class) and allowing students to bring technology from home (with a "contract" signed by parents) this would be great to have! <br /><br />www.rockstarsintheclassroom.blogspot.comStephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15850390380329275799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168673562042013396.post-57445199399411759852012-07-10T05:46:02.681-07:002012-07-10T05:46:02.681-07:00KIM!!!

You said your students don't have access to their desks-do they just hover above them? LOL! :)<br /><br />Your laptop kits are A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!!!! You are the best!! I have 2 working desktop student computers in my room. Hmmm.....<br /><br />Another change for me-I will not be teaching science next year. I will be teaching 5th and 6th grade history!!!! Which was my 1st choice anyway!!!<br /><br />OMG-you might have 40 students next year???? <br /><br />Shannon<br />http://www.irunreadteach.wordpress.comShannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13149662695273911122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168673562042013396.post-66362749238217989332012-05-22T19:09:25.102-07:002012-05-22T19:09:25.102-07:00Terrific idea!

I plan to use them more often next year and these kits would be good to have. I especially like the the password booklet for each student. Some are able to memorize them more easily than others (I teach 2nd grade). I agree that setting procedures and practicing them until they become ingrained in their brains is very important. The hard work up front pays off in the end!Louise Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959911997814114572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168673562042013396.post-27196795986992937712012-05-20T19:30:17.933-07:002012-05-20T19:30:17.933-07:00These kits are perfect!
