Tech Lesson at the Computer
First, the student will login with: Second, the student will go to Firefox and Monte vista tech lab website and to their grade level for tech lesson.
At the Computers: 1. Have students buddy up to differentiate skill levels. (techpro/techpal). Have students work with their buddies to solve the coding puzzles. 2. For those students who still need small group instruction can stay at the board with me as I continue working on the puzzles, allowing students to go to individual computers as they are ready. 3. Second graders can have a wide range of levels in coding, so the students who have mastered can move to the next level and those who need more practice or need the puzzles read to them will go to the practice codes.
