Web 2.0 Kickoff Thoughts
I love to incorporate technology into my teaching because I think it authentically engages my kids more in their learning (and often their parents as well). Many of my coworkers signed up for this course and since I love any opportunity to collaborate, I had to sign up too! I feel pretty comfortable with technology, but it is a constantly evolving world so I hope Summer Camp will help me keep up and introduce me to new ways for my students to show what they know. Along with that, I need to understand more fully the logistics of privacy and permission guidelines when it comes to students. I feel pretty comfortable with using technology - I am never afraid to try something new. I have been using Moodle, Flipped Classroom & iPads, Khan Academy, etc regularly with my 5th grade students for the past year. This summer I am tutoring a 9th grader in reading/writing, so I've decided to try out the use of blogging with a student for the first time.

Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to have you as a camper this summer. It looks like you already use technology for some good purposes, and you are willing to try new things! I am sure you will find some things in this class you will be able to use to make your classes more interesting and engaging for both students and parents.
