Collecting and Manipulating Weather Data: Using Technology Tools in a First-Grade Classroom

This case study describes the integration of technology into a first-grade classroom. Integrating computer software and Internet resources enhanced the visual displays and lesson objectives. Students collected weather data during the school year and created a variety of graphs to represent their data. The lesson resulted in creating a high, sustained, student interest level in the project as well as graphing and map skills experiences for first-graders. The successful project also served as a catalyst for the teacher’s continued use of technology tools in her classroom lessons.
