The Standard we chose to find technology for was Kindergarten Language Arts Standard 4, Objective 1a: Upper and lower case letters. We found a wonderful website for helping children with their upper and lowercase letters called "Starfall.com". The URL is http://www.starfall.com/n/level-k/index/load.htm?f. This is an interactive website where children can choose a letter, hear how it sounds, and see a word that starts with that letter.
Pedagogy: have each child open Starfall.com, click on the ABC's, find the letters B, G, and S, and listen to the sound. Then find one item that starts with that sound. After that have child make those letter sounds using clay, write the sounds on a sheet of paper, and draw a picture of an object that makes that sound.
For our Math Kindergarten Standard, we chose Standard 2, Objective 2a: Identify and describe simple repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Pedagogy: Have children go to the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives and play the game where they have to chose a colored circle to complete a pattern. THe URL is:
http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/topic_t_1.html. Then I would have the children chose different colored clay, make little circle balls of different colors and create their own pattern.
