It is difficult for me to currently move forward with my game plan. I am not able to implement or evaluate my game plan, because school has not started yet. However, I have learned a few things that I can apply in my instructional practice.
Just a reminder of the goals that I established for learning about technology and technology resources:
- Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources
- Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership
Exhibit leadership by demonstrating a vision of technology infusion, participating in shared decision making and community building, and developing the leadership and technology skills of others.
I am now subscribed to different technology blogs. I have found many ideas that I hope to implement in my classroom. These blogs have really helped me to understand that using digital tools in kindergarten needs to be simple. Simply having a student take a picture is incorporating these tools. I think that I was making it much to hard, trying to figure out how my students were going to create a power point presentation!
I have also begun creating my PBL lesson plan!
Technology in the Classroom

I have subscribed to a few Blogs myself and find them very helpful. But also, I have utilized yahoo groups and found a few discussion boards on different subjects in education. What I love about yahoo is it sends you an email when someone has posted and the board is usually pretty active. Take a look at one if you get a chance!
ReplyDeleteHello Megan,
ReplyDeleteI like how you are using the technology blogs to assist you. These blog will offer many ideas. I enjoy PowerPoint projects. You can even show the students how use motion on PowerPoints and your kindergartners should really like that.
Another ideas is using the microphone and wiki. It should be exciting for your students to hear their voices and their classmates voices on the computer.
Think about it. :-)
