As a teacher how would you introduce technological tools in your classroom?
Prepare a lesson plan on the introduction of some technological tools in your classroom. List which tools you will use and how you will teach them depending on the grade you plan on teaching. Each age group learns differently so think about the best way to approach it. You will have students that may already be familiar with the use of some of these tool, but you will also have students who have never had the opportunity. As a teacher you must know how to adapt to your students needs.

Watch Teaching Kids to use blogs and photoshop
Find your own tools you would like to use and embed a YouTube video that you found that helps teach children how to use them. Explain in your post.
Everybody wants that dream Kindergarten job, and I'm included in that everybody. Some tools that I would bring and teach to a kindergarten class would of course be the iPad. My dream is to work in one of the Baldwin county school and they already have incorporated their kindergarten students in using iPads in the classroom. However I know that not all students, before entering the school system, have used iPads before. So each week we would use a new app and at the first of the week I would break down how to maneuver through the app then leave them to explore. I would give them assignments to create, like in the video Teaching Kids to use blogs and photoshop, where they could create an animal that lived in a forest or on a farm. Each week we would learn to work a new app; poplet, icurio, ext. they would also continue to use the tools learned from previous weeks.
Great ideas! I really like the idea about your students creating an animal. That allows your students to be creative and use their imagination.
ReplyDeleteJordan, your idea was good, but you did not actually do what you your assignment said to do. It says to "prepare a lesson plan", which you did not do. You also said in your assignment that the person doing the assignment should embed a YouTube video that they found that helps teach children how to use some different tools, which you also did not do.
ReplyDeleteThe instructions for Blog Post #13 state that students should come up with their own idea for a blog post and then do it themselves. You gave your idea for a blog post assignment, but you did not actually do what you assigned.
