| Carmen Brabham's First Graders used Time Tracker on their iPAQs for independent practice in Math this week. Mrs. Brabham taught a lesson on telling time and then distributed the iPAQs. She says, "It was wonderful!!! It was amazing how individualized the programs are. Some of my students were on level one, while my more advanced students advanced to levels 3 and 4 in Time Tracker." The pictures above show how totally engrossed the students were in this activity. | ||
