We recently conducted a technology survey to discover our preferences and needs for technology in our third grade class. The students and parents sign an internet user form at the beginning of the year. Our students pictures and voices are allowed on all our internet productions. Our blog page provides a code for the students name.
Our class is comprised of 7 girls and 9 boys. Most of my students are African American. Learning styles vary but the majority prefer hands on activities, collaborative projects and computer projects. They enjoy interactive games and auditory activities. They love to talk.
Our class is a mix of Digital Natives and Immigrants. Most would prefer to type or produce their work in Powerpoint, Word or KidWorks. Their scores are higher when they take a reading test online rather than pencil and paper.

Connie,
Sounds like your class is full of digital natives enjoying their learning environment with technologies. The many technologies that are available to your students are not just tools for learning but are conduets or paths taken to enrich their learning experiences.
