Tech Club Day 5

This week we are continuing to work on the digital stories.  We are again in the classroom where we began doing tech club.  It is nice using a classroom because there are less distractions and we aren't distracting the the other activities going on in the library.  The kids who came again this week which were here last week want to start over on their projects.  I am working with a little girl again who needs help with all of the spelling and sometime with the motor skills.  It is really difficult for these first graders to click and drag the picture onto the desktop and then back into iMovie.  They get it to the edge of the mouse pad but then aren't sure how to drag it further.  I just try to be encouraging saying they almost got it so they do not get too frustrated.  With the encouragement this girl starts to thrive.  I am glad I have two other leaders in my group as this girl takes up all of my attention.  Again the movies are going over great.  We are coming back tomorrow to finish up our tech club visits before all our finals and homework gets crazy next week. Miss Mel warns that these students we have today will not be there tomorrow as they get out of school early.
