EXIT SLIP and class notes

EXIT
How has my thinking about technology in the classroom changed over the semester. My first blog post highlighted the different electronic tools that can be useful for science. now i feel that ED TECH is more than that. It is about using things tools that utilize how students think and use information.
Creation is key!


Make sure that I use Jeff Boyer as a resource in my own personal learning network in the future. He is really knowledgeable, wants to help the k-12 system with technology, and he can help me in my first years of teaching.


How will I integrate technology in Ella Boyer's science classroom?
Three ways...

I want to have Ella create a podcast of the three most important things she can do during lab to keep safe! After she and her classmates create their podcasts, i will have groups of four share their podcasts in a gallery type presentation style. This will allow students share the most neccessary ways to keep safe in the classroom lab setting.

I will create a wiki page that my students will be incharge of for updating it with thier lab writeups. It will be a central place where the students can share their lab work. with my help they will add pages and links to keeep it organized.

I want to teach Ella new ways to present scientific information and research. As a first step from getting her away from powerpoint i will teach her how to use prezi. Symbaloo can be another good presentation tool that can also be used as a collaborative resource.
