Computer Skills Objectives List
Has the role of "Computer Teacher" been thrust upon you? Here is a list of computer skills that I, a regular classroom teacher, developed for my fourth graders. There is a mix of basic keyboarding skills, internet know-how, and navigating Windows. These are the basic skills that many students will already know (which lends itself very well to peer teaching) but students who have limited computer access might not have mastered. Tip:Instead of printing this list for each student, I like to

Experience
I have taught fourth grade for 9 years in public school and third grade in a charter school for 3 years. Prior to my full time teaching career I was a paraprofessional for a teacher of the deaf for grades 1 and 2 for a year, and a preschool teacher for 2 years.
Teaching style
I am pragmatic so I can meet the needs of my students. I teach my fourth graders about working in groups so they can learn social skills as well as academics. I enjoy the balanced literacy reading and writing program. Some experts who have influenced me are John Collins and Lucy Caulkins. In math I use a combination of note taking and math games to promote understanding of vocabulary and principles as well as practice for applying skills. My district has also recently adopted the Math In Focus (Singapore Math) program. In science and social studies I teach research skills to enhance students' writing as well as reading to learn new information since.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was awarded grant money that funded the purchase of science materials for 6 classrooms at my school in October of 2012.
