Inspiration, Imagination, Innovation!
About Us…
Welcome to our blog!
We are the Techie Kids in Michigan, USA. Mrs. Moore (that’s me) is a Technology teacher for Kindergarten through 5th grade. This year, I am teaching in 2 new buildings. That means 450 new Techie Kids who are eager to flatten their classroom walls.
Our blog is the perfect place for students to collaborate, not just in each class, but throughout the school, the families, and extending around the world. We are developing our literacy skills and things we learn in the classroom while exploring technology in fun and innovative ways. We now have an authentic purpose. Not just writing because we were told to, but because we want to! We also love to share projects that we work on!
More than 350- 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will be practicing their commenting skills this year. One unique part of our blog is that everything seen here is done in a much smaller time frame than a self-contained classroom. Each class, out of 18, works with me in the computer lab for 50 minutes each week. That means that we are limited by huge time restrictions. So, we will pack as much as we can into each class! The possibilities are too incredible to pass up. We have already learned so much from our blogging friends around the world. We can’t wait to see what we will learn this year!

Dear Techie Kids,
I like your blog because there are so many colors I like and because it is so organized.
Our school has grades pre-shcool, pre-k, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade and 4th grade. What grades do you have? Where in MI do you live in, on the water or in-land?

Dear Nic,
Glad you stopped by our blog to visit! Classroom 2.0 is an online learning community. You can join groups that you are interested in and have relevant discussions. There are also Elluminate webinars that you can participate in. I found the backchanneling to be very informative! Visit http://www.classroom20.com/ for more information.

Dear Elise,
My favorite subject in school is math. I have the best grades in social studies though. I think school is cool because some friends I don’t see that much I can see at school. So I can hang out with them at recess. Do you have recess?

Hello Techie kids,
I am from South Australia in Mr.Baldocks 2/3 class. We have been focusing on maths. We have been looking at take aways. What kind of things do you do at recess and lunch? We have 3 schools on campus Nativity Pilgrim and Thiele. I go to Nativity. Do you read a certain book in your class. In health we have been writing about our family.

Dear Techie Kids,
I really liked your post on Wordle. Our class did them, except we did them on peace. Our class really likes your blog! Mrs. Webb Scheers talks about your class and your blog all the time. Rember the time when our class skyped with your class? We found out that we get to skype with you again on Tech night!

Dear Maci,
You are doing a great job with your commenting! I’m sure you’ll earn your own blog soon. Some of our 5th grade students have their own blogs that they’ve worked on at home with their family.
I’m so glad that your Family Technology Night went well. What was your favorite part?
