Technology
Goals - 2013
·
Goal One - Move from Substitution to
Modification/Redefinition
o
I will
use the I Pads to modify lessons with the use of technology.
o
I will
teach with intention as I think about the lessons that use the ipad. If the
students can complete the lesson on a piece of paper, it is not modified
enough. If the students need their device to add pictures/links/voice than they
are modifying the lesson.
o
Example
– Cause and Effect Lesson
o
Educreations
App – The students will be given an example of a
situation. Andrew does cannot find his homework. The students will search for
pictures that represent the possible causes for this problem. Causes -sister took
it, dog hid it, left it on the bus. The students will then find pictures
for the possible effects. Effects – Teacher is upset, Must stay in
at recess and do it again, Mom finds it and brings it to school. Students complete the slide show with
voice throughout each slide explaining the causes and effects.
o
Augmentation!
Students share these on Schoology so their peers can see several cause and
effect slide shows from their peers.

Goal
Two – Field Trips
o
I will
travel to different places/environments as much as possible. Through the
projection of the web, students can explore different places. They can travel
to an apple factory, watch stars in space, see the Golden Gate Bridge, explore
the west and discover any place they can imagine.
o
I would
like to use Google Earth as much as possible. Through these field trips,
students will experience a deeper understanding of what they are being taught. This
type of technology allows them to see places without the travel expensesJ.
·
Sharing
o
Sharing
a project/ lesson or point of view is so important. That leads to many
discussions about what they are learning and why it is so important. Students
feel proud of their final production and enjoy sharing it with their parents
and peers.
o
Schoology
– I would like to post several examples of
projects and lessons to schoology. Parents can view and discuss their projects.
Their peers can also view their projects to gain more knowledge/interest too. Schoology is a great place to share and it is
limited to our classroom.
