This class time we went over some great articles dealing with many tools and strategies to use in our classes. I really think that these articles are such great ideas and tools. Personally, knowing about what we can be ready for puts some relief in having my own classroom. From the great technology tools to use in the classroom and techniques to help our students think critically are all very important. I am sure we will all use these ideas one way or another.
My article is First Graders with iPads? by Saran Getting and Karin Swainey from Learning and Leading with Technology.
Rhea, I thought your article was very enlightening because it proves that teachers are now becoming less nervous about using technology tools, especially in the younger grades. You had a great point that young students need motivation in order to be interested in reading lessons.
ReplyDeleteHey Rhea, I really enjoyed your article about the use of technology in the classroom, specifically the Ipad. The Ipad is a great tool and it is something that the younger children would be able to relate to.
ReplyDeleteI'm relieved as well Rhea, all the preparation really eases my worries about the classroom in the future. At the same time though, they say you can have all the preparation in the world, but during actual teaching there will always be something that happens that you didn't prepare for.
