Wow....I am excited to get back from the Holidays to use my new technology. I have already used the manga high program in the classroom and I seen major improvements. Motivation, love of math and mastering concepts are a few. I like to use wordle and prezi. I will like to incorporate edmodo, google docs and animoto into my lessons once I become more familiar with them. After the holidays, I will have new centers set up or student lessons on programs such as study ladder and ten marks. But before I incorporate my new centers and lessons, I will go over safety and responsibilities and how to make them accountable. If any one has any ideas, please pass them on! Mrs. Foster mentioned a tech manager and tech "go to person". I love it! Not only do I love it, the kids are happy to have a role in the classroom learning environment. At first, I was bummed about having to do this but now and I am eager to start after realizing that these children learn differently from the old days. I hope to
reach all my students.
I am so glad you aren't bummed any more. I can tell that you have really embraced the technology and are busy figuring out ways to make it work! Well done!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love Mangahigh! Have you viewed the reports yet that show you a student's progress. If not, take a minute to do so! Wondering how your 5th graders could take on a role in the campus to help all teachers and students with their technology...
