3. Elementary Video Adventures: Life in Ancient Rome
The construction of the pyramids in Egypt is behind schedule because the workers have to
wait so long for breakfast. The short-order cook has to count out eggs for each of the many
workers. A yo-yo salesman sells him boxed yo-yos to entertain his bored customers. The cook
discovers the usefulness of putting the eggs in cartons and counting them by using arrays
(5x5=25 etc.). This cuts down the preparation time. This video provides engaging support for
mathematics and the introduction of the concept of multiplication.

*Finally, indicate whether you have a computer projector available for use or not. If you do, indicate whether
you have a projector permanently placed in your classroom or if you would have to "sign it out" ahead of time.
I do have a projector in my classroom. It is mounted to the ceiling. I also have a
interactive Smart-Board and a DVD Player with surround sound that accompany my
projector. I truly couldn't go a single day without using these pieces of technology
in my classroom. I have found a use for these pieces of technology for every subject
I teach. I teach Elementary Ed. which encompasses Math, Language Arts, Science,
Social Studies, Working With Words, Writing, & Character Education.
Google Docs
I opened a google documents account. That wasn't too bad, it only took four tries. After that I added a
Power-Point Presentation to the Documents to be shared. That was rather easy. I then tried to add contacts to veiw the presentation. This is where the probelms began... My students don't all have e-mail accounts. I then tried to enter Matt Tavani as a viewer and every time I did this it said, "That the e-mail I entered wasn't a valid
e-mail." That kind-of bummed me out! However I do feel that this could be a useful tool, but I couldn't find a large amount of use for it with my fourth graders. I could see it working better for middle school or high school students and teachers. Although I wil keep this in my back pocket for future use, if applicable.
