We have started implementing the use of laptops in First Grade. The children were given a tutorial on how to turn on and off the computer and the "do's and dont's" of working with a computer: no food or drink near, gentleness all around, and staying seated with their computer. They did great. The students go to a custom made "symbaloo" that has Internet sites for them to go to that pertain to certain skills. To get to my symbaloo, go to http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/mrssmythesfirstgrade. Have them practice the "BASE TEN BLOCKS" activity. They should be able to tell you where that is on the symbaloo, as we have worked on it several times.
