Classroom Laptops

Because of all this crazy literacy blogging we've been doing, students are on the blog throughout the day. The problem is that we only had 4 classroom laptops available for student use. I let students use our classroom computer and the SmartBoard laptop but even still we're quite a few computers short. Luckily, the district's tech support is going to be able to give our students three more laptops and I took my old laptop from home to help the students get as much access to the blog and other internet learning as possible. So we're up to 10 classroom computers. That's half of what we need to get a 1:1 ratio... not bad for 118 days of school this year! But with these new laptops, comes new desktop backgrounds... and with 19 students comes plenty of opportunity for photo shoots. Below are a few of the desktop backgrounds we have been able to come up with as of right now. They're pretty awesome!!
