Day One: Digital Gadgets



We're so excited that you've chosen to participate in our Oak Hill Digital Learning Day Challenge this week.  We hope to teach you lots of techie stuff and we also hope to learn from you when you post your comments.

We wanted to start out our week by talking about digital gadgets.  They are everywhere you look!  They come in all shapes and sizes, too.  We think it's so cool that you can get online and do research from your smartphone!



Our school has Dell Computers in our computer lab, so those are the ones we use at school.  Our PTA, who is made up of our Oak Hill families, worked extremely hard and we will soon be getting a set of 30 iPads for our school!  We are so excited to get our hands on them!  We're so thankful for our wonderful parents and families for seeing our need for technology.

We wanted to tell you about our favorite techie gadgets:


Christina -my favorite divice is my netbook because it is so helpful for doing things.

Kara - I love my iPad! I use it for fun, for help, and for contacting others from Skype, facetime, and email.

Kate - My favorite digital device is an iPod. It has many apps I can use for learning and making videos. There are cool games to play too. I love all the music and listen to it a lot. I want to make my own app someday.



Matthew - My favorite digital device is my laptop. I use it for doing my website and many other things.

Shoel - I always like to use anything Apple.  I usually use my laptop or my phone. But mostly anything tech is super awesome.

Sophie - I love using my iPod Touch because I can play fun games and I can FaceTime my Friends.


Tanner - My favorite device is my laptop because I can play games and use neat tools.

Sydney - My favorite device is my iPod because I can use it for games and talking to my friends.


Ms. Beard - I love my MacBook Pro!  It is my favorite digital device I own.  I also have an iPhone and I love it, too!  My MacBook Pro allows me to make really cool videos using iPhoto, iDVD, and iTunes.  I've been a Mac fan for many, many years.  I'm also a big fan of Steve Jobs; I believe his life can teach us so much about working hard and following your dreams.



Now that you know what we use, we want to know what you use.


What are the digital gadgets you use?
Do you use the same ones at home and at school?
How many digital gadgets do you have in your house?
What do you do with your digital gadgets?  Do you surf the web?  Play games?  Get homework help?

  34. Love your blog Oakhill!!!
    I'm trying out a Google Chromebook right now. It boots up really fast and can do just about everything my laptop can. It runs almost all of it's applications from the internet. Wondering if it would be a good device for EVSC students. I like my ipad, but I still need a keyboard for some of my work. What do you guys think about that! Do you need a keyboard? Can you do everything you want from an Ipad or tablet??
