week 11
Well I guess I must be getting better at this technology thing. I have introduced the science teacher to Prezis and she will be having her 8th grade students create one. I talked my library/technology teacher into helping me with Glogster, so she is getting my third grade students ready to research and cite it as well. She is even creating her own tutorials on Sophia. Next we might have all our school on Google Doc, (Sandy is rubbing off on me). What I really look forward to is the time to integrate more technology into my lesson plans. However just when I will be ready to add more to my instruction my third graders will move onto 4th grade and I start over again next year. So the wheels of teaching turn.

Well then next year you will be that much better at it. It is ok to keep trying the same technologies, perhaps grow and get better each year.
ReplyDeleteAs our school librarian and I reflect on the Glogster we already agree we may have been a bit aggressive in our expectations. 3rd grade had never seen it before and to include learning how to cite sources as well as creating the Glog seemed overwhelming for some. Next year we hope to introduce a modified version earlier in the year to introduce citing one source than move on to more extensive research.
