Your students can learn to use puzzle-generating software. Generating math worksheets from software may be intellectually stimulating. Word problems can be created on the computer and printed for children to solve at their seats. CD-ROM research can be done by several students at the computer, while the rest of the students consult encyclopedias, atlases, or other reference books. For reading, pairs of students can read a book together in the corner or on the couch, while other students read a CD-ROM storybook.
Students can create artwork either at their desks or at the computer.
Many painting and drawing programs are available. Offer your students the opportunity to work on a project in several media. Schedule them so that everyone gets to the computer.
