Ways that the teacher integrates technology into her classroom from the video:
- SMARTBoard
cooperative learning
engagement and participation
- Mac Computers
laptops
large number of computers
mobile lab
access to computers
- Online Collaborative Projects
connect with peers (world-wide)
- Daily Blog
assignments posted for parents and students
open classroom
- Students write blogs
current events and classroom activities that can be shared
global audience
We then divided this list into things that we could have done before technology, things we couldn't do before technology, and things that we could do before but can now do better now that we have the technologies. It is important as teachers that we use things that will help our class even if they can only be done with technology. We then did a jigsaw activity with information from two articles about how and how not to use technology in the classroom. I thought this helped because we were able to hear about all of the other ideas, but only being an expert on one of them. I think this would be a fun activity to use in the future classroom.
I know that I need to get going on my Technology Inquiry Wiki! Fun class period! :)
