"A close encounter with a fifth grader" "D" posting

I commented on Blpainte's blog that discusses the same project I had done in my Introduction to Technology in Education class. This is also the same project I talked about in my previous blog. She worked with a fifth grader and had a very different experience. She said the child felt bored during the first story. I can understand how that can happen to a child working with ebooks in the fifth grade.
Blpainte blog's says she is hoping to teach upper elementary school level. For this reason, I think it is great that she learned this approach to learning may not be as interesting and captivating for a child in the upper elementary age group. She has focused her teaching toward the social science subject area. Hopefully she will discover a type of technological tool that will engage students in her study. If she is aware of any such tools I would enjoy learning about them.
