I went to the session on DE streaming and Learn 360 on September 23. I am going to incorporate both of these resources into my TAG and tech classes. I have a better understanding of how to incorporate these programs into my curriculum after working with Bev. I was not logging in correctly before this session. I always forgot to put aea1 before my teacher number.
ReplyDeleteI have been searching for ideas for lessons to use with middle school tech class. I asked Bev if she had any ideas. She showed me the Atomic Learning Project Based learning link. I never noticed that before. It is an awesome resource. I like how it incorporates tech applications into curriculum areas. I am going to try some of these lessons with the middle school students.
I shared these resources with the other staff during the Smack Down session. Everyone seemed interested in using these resources.
I enjoyed the Smack Down session. All of the teachers shared some good resources with others. I have been looking for a blogging program to use with middle school. One of the teachers told us about Kidblog.org. I am going to use that program. I like the security features of this program.
I do not have a smart board. I wish I did. There are many neat activities to do with the Smart board.
I am going to make a blog for each of my middle school classes. Each day I am going to give them a technology vocabulary word. They will need to find the definition of the word, site the resource they used, and then post it. I will let them use words or pictures.
ReplyDeleteI am also going to have them reflect on their learning relating to the projects we are working on.
On the first day of class I gave the students a quiz to see which tech terms they knew the meaning of. Most of them thought they knew much more than they did. That is why I though this might be a good ongoing project. By the time they get to high school they should have a good tech vocabulary.
I will blog with the students each class. They will need to sign in and post their comments. Before the comments can be posted I can approve them, delete them,etc. I think this is a good way to introduce students to blogging. They will not be able to post inappropriate comments. It is also going to be a good way to provide feedback to my students.
