A Different Kind of Thinking
As I was thinking about my database lesson, I thought it was ironic that we were doing it backwards...we're designing a lesson that affords the technology instead of the other way around, but either way I get why it has to be done that way. And since I've never used Access before this will interesting....and it's been a brain taxing process. :) But I've come up with something that I think will work with our 5th graders....I'm excited about that. Now I'm really thinking of my lessons more with ACTS in mind, even though I do only have them for about 45 minutes. Usually the teachers are very receptive about bringing their kids back to finish any lessons I've started, so if it can't be done in one session, they'll just have to bring them back.

Having a class have to come back to finish a project is great - it's the finishing it in WAAY less time than anticipated that is really annoying. (Especially when you have a teacher who keeps the kids there for the full time even when they have nothing to do.)
