Thanks to elementary teacher Margie McDaniel of Ulysses, Kansas. Margie alerted us to the article, Remote-Control Classroom in the March 2, 2007 Weekly Reader (Issue 20, Volume 88, Edition 4). The article features a fourth-grade classroom at Wings Park Elementary School in Oelwein, Iowa. Students of teacher Terry Rex use CPS for taking test and playing games. One of the students was quoted as saying “It’s more fun. I don’t have to write, and my hand doesn’t get tired.” Another student’s favorite activity was a football game teaching multiplication and subtraction. He said, “Since it’s on the computer, it’s more fun than a worksheet on your desk.” Good points, Kids!
Thanks Margie for letting us know about this article!
