Dear Staff Members:
Instead of having you turn in a sheet of paper to me with your lesson for technology, you will respond with the lesson in my blog. The six questions are here-
1.) What are the lesson objectives?
2.) What will you teach with the technology?
3.) What are the students doing with the technology?
4.) How will this help students learn content at a deeper level?
5.) What did you learn today?
6.) Do you need more time to work on tech integration?
1. write with a logical sequence of events, compare the relationship of past and present events and recognize examples of.
ReplyDelete2. I will teach the students how to google a timeline of Martin Luther King using the internet and smartboard.
3. The students will be looking for dates of important events in MLK's life. IF I get help on how to upload..I may try to post these to my google account that parents' have access too!
4. This will engage student learning. They will write and understand how past events have affected their life today.
5. I set up my google blog.
6. Yes, I will need more time to work with technology.
1. write a sequence of events, compare the past and present events and recognize examples of them.
ReplyDelete2. I will teach useing more DVD's for video examples, and I will also use pedometiors for elementary kids to take how many steps they are taking in a day, which we will follow on excel.
3. Following there progress with charts and graphs.
4.This will help them learn about working out and how healthy it is.
5. I learned how to make a blog and post to different blogs.
6. I feel I am up to date with most of the technology. :)
1.) What are the lesson objectives?
ReplyDeleteTo reinforces the concept of beginning letter sounds.
2.) What will you teach with the technology?
I will teach the kindergartners how to use a mouse and use their hand-eye coordination when matching letters with sounds.
3.) What are the students doing with the technology?
The students will be doing a Picture Match activity which is a matching game that reinforces the concept of letter-sound correspondence.
4.) How will this help students learn content at a deeper level?
The next level to this lesson is that the students can print out the pictures from the Picture Match activity and create their own story. They can publish (with assistance) a story to be posted on the web at the following site http://www.kidsonthenet.org.uk
As they progress Picture Match allows the student to test their long and short vowel skills as well by matching sound and picture. They can also print these vowel sound pictures and create their own story to be published.
5.) What did you learn today?
I learned to set up a blog and post to another blog.
6.) Do you need more time to work on tech integration? Yes!

ReplyDelete1. The objectives for my lesson will be to teach students basic computer terms and usage.
2. Mrs. Benjamin and I will be teaching reading skills using a website called starfall. We will teach students to turn on the computer, find the internet access, and type in an address. We will do this in small group reading time.
3. The students will be learning reading skills on this website.
4. Students can choose different activities which fit their ability levels.
5. Today I learned how to set up my blog and how to add a picture to my blog with the help of Mrs. Benjamin.
6. I always need more time to work on technology.
1.) What are the lesson objectives?
ReplyDeleteStudents will obtain a google account.
Students will access Biz Ed blog.
Students will read a post and comment thoughts.
2.) What will you teach with the technology?
Accessing an education blog post and posting a professional, appropriate responce.
3.) What are the students doing with the technology?
Posting their thoughts and ideas about a certain topic.
4.) How will this help students learn content at a deeper level?
Students can read what their classmates and teachers feel about a said topic, which will force them to think about others ideas and their own more deeply.
5.) What did you learn today?
That incorporating technology into the classroom needs to be done, because that is the direction the workforce is heading. In turn it takes alot of time to develope and become comfortable with as the originator of the tech info.
6.) Do you need more time to work on tech integration?
YES
1.) What are the lesson objectives?
ReplyDeleteA)For students to create a slideshow or video to accompany our musical selections for the Pops Concert.
2.) What will you teach with the technology?
A)Basic editing of a slideshow or video as well as some music analysis.
3.) What are the students doing with the technology?
A)Creating video that will help to accentuate the selections for the concert by using images and clips they find themselves.
4.) How will this help students learn content at a deeper level?
A)Students will have to analyze the music in order to decide what is happening from an emotional standpoint when deciding how to constuct their videos.
5.) What did you learn today?
A)Basic blogging
6.) Do you need more time to work on tech integration?
A)No, but I have limited technology in my classroom at this time.
1.) The objective of my lesson is to reinforce the use of computer probes and graphing software for multiple types of data collection and analysis.
ReplyDelete2.) Two opposing Vernier force probes will be used in conjuction with LabPro software to provide an instantaneous graphic display of Newton's Third Law (Action/Reaction).
3.) Students will connect the necessary probes and start the software. Then students will calibrate the probes and assign one an opposite orientation ("negative" force). Student pairs will then try various combinations of applying forces (i.e. both pull equally, only one pull, one pull harder, etc.). The graphic readout produced will instantaneously illustrate that no matter how the forces are applied (as long as they are in the same line), that the two forces are exactly equal in magnitude and opposite in sign.
4.) In addition to static readings (such as could be done with spring scales, this provides students with a real-time,dynamic observation of Newton's 3rd Law. In addition, the graph of force vs. time (made of identical curves that are symmetrical with respect to time)provide a visual connection to the concept.
5.) I learned some additional (and much needed) things about construction of my Google site. At this point (since I currently am using experimenting with various pieces of technology hardware), I feel my best use of time is making as many of my documents (including lesson plans, labs, worksheets, etc.) available online as possible using my Google site. This will also facilitate my goal of moving toward a paperless (or as nearly so as possible) classroom.
6.) Obviously, no matter what stage of technology implementation you are at, you need more time! My present plan is to start posting lesson plans to my Google site at the end of each day and to add digital versions of documents to class folders located there as we use them in class. Thus, over the course of a year or so, I should have all my documents uploaded with a practical amount of time spent.

ReplyDeleteWhat are the lesson objectives?
ReplyDeleteStudents will understand the process to create a website.
Students will appropriately communicate to the public about the Ag Ed program's accomplishments and happenings.
2.) What will you teach with the technology?
Students will cooperatively create and obtain a website for the GT FFA through google docs. Eventually, we will start a GT FFA facebook page as well
3.) What are the students doing with the technology?
Students will be informing the public about events, accomplishments etc., the chapter/ag classes have had throughout the year. They will learn how to edit the website, upload pictures, and effectively and appropriately communicate with the general public.
4.) How will this help students learn content at a deeper level?
The students will have a sense of accomplishment for what they have acheived, and applying what they have done and learned to a "real world" situation. It is something for them to take ownership in.
5.) What did you learn today?
That technology is constantly changing and coming up with more and more ways for us to communicate. We as teachers need to be willing to utilize all the different areas and facets of technology. Even if we may not want to integrate all areas of technology, it is good for us to do, because that is the direction our world is heading. We need to provide our students with the technology they use now and will be using once they get into their careers. We need to accept and do what benefits our students the most. Some may not like it, but aren't there times we ask our students to do things they don't like, because in the end it benefits them?
6.) Do you need more time to work on tech integration?
Yes
1. The objective of my lesson will be to teach the students proper computer usage.
ReplyDelete2. I will teach the students how to turn the computer on, how to click on the necessary icons, and take the practice test for the MAP test.
3. They are learning some computer basics and also learning the importance of a computerized test.
4. The students will then be able to do some typing and word processing on the computer.
5. I relearned how to complete a blog for my classroom.
6. Time is always necessary.
1.Upon completion of this lesson students will have been introduced to quadrilaterals and their properties,have learned terminology using with quadrilaterals, and have practiced creating particular quadrilaterals based on characteristics.
ReplyDelete2.I taught characteristics of all quadrilaterals
3.Students will be using the computers to learn about quadrilaterals. ( Browser open to floor tile)
4. Students will be manipulating the tiles. The students will be moving the sides and corners but the polygon will still remain a quadrilateral. Students will access information about the sides and angles by using the INFORMATION button. This will be followed by " An introduction to Quadrilaterals" activity.
5 I learned how to set up a blog and post on others blogs.
6.For me technological integration will be ongoing.
1.) What are the lesson objectives?
ReplyDeleteBecause I have recently added a virtual classroom site for Graphic Design, it is something new and the students need to learn how to utilize it.
My objective will be to give students time to orient themselves with the classroom website.
2.) What will you teach with the technology?
I will aide the students in their learning of Adobe Photoshop by accessing the links on the website to use the tutorials.
3.) What are the students doing with the technology?
They are learning about tools and tricks in Adobe Photoshop. That will aide in all of their design processes. It can also help the photography students learn the tools and apply some of the concepts to their photography.
4.) How will this help students learn content at a deeper level?
Each student has access to the same information, however each student can work at their level/pace and have choices about what they learn first, second, etc. Example: On the Graphic Design classroom website the instructor has posted not only the tutorials, but examples with step by step instructions and photos to aide in the process. This particular type of differentiation works well because of the various levels of knowledge each students brings with them to this class. The can activate any prior knowledge they have and move beyond that at their pace.
5.) What did you learn today?
I learned how to create a blog on Google.
6.) Do you need more time to work on tech integration?
always. I do a lot of things from home later in the evening so that I am not interrupted. It's difficult to have that uninterrupted time here at school.
1) Students will...
ReplyDeleteSelect themes/topics relating to the fall of Rome.
Examine information about their theme/topico and deduce it to an uploadable presentation tool.
Integrate a new form of technology to store and organize information learned in their Social Studies experience.
2)The Goal is to allow the students to personalize and organize their work to be compatable with the SmartBoards and expanding technology. Students will have access to work they have done via Wikispace that may be accessed anywhere at any time.
3)Students are using their wiki's to personalize pages much like they would on facebook or twitter, they may upload pictures, import links instead of printing off information, upload files, and turn in papers online instead of in person. This will also store all of their their work allowing Knights Jam artifact to be the wikispaces page only.
4)Allowing the students to personalize what they are learning will help them orgainize the learned information to become more relevent. This will also allow students to look back on information they learned giving them a deeper understanding.
5)I learned that one must be patient when dealing with technology. Just like the Clip Ayn showed us...amazing things are happening learn to respect it and be dumbfounded. I also liked having the elemntry teachers input during the PBS training!
6)Yes
6)
1.) What are the lesson objectives? Students will practice Spanish oral pronunciation and describe a scene in Spanish.
ReplyDelete2.) What will you teach with the technology? I will teach students to focus more on their pronunciation and use of descriptive words.
3.) What are the students doing with the technology? Students will use the laptops in the library to access www.audacity.com and will record an oral assignment and email it to me. (Mrs. Alesch will help me administer the assignment in the library and teach the kids to use audacity.com.) I will then listen to the assignments and grade each one giving each student feedback and sharing a few of them with the class.
4.) How will this help students learn content at a deeper level? In the small amount of research that I have done, it has shown that students practice their oral Spanish assignment many times before recording their final draft. I’m guessing that if I asked my students how often they practiced their Spanish pronunciation outside of Spanish class, the amount of time would be next to nothing. We have a lot of classroom discussion, but this gives me an opportunity to work with students on an individual level with pronunciation and understanding.
5.) What did you learn today? I discovered a way to administer oral exams and assignments more efficiently.
6.) Do you need more time to work on tech integration? Yes!! I love finding new ways to integrate technology into my classes!!
1.) What are the lesson objectives?
ReplyDeleteMs. Thoreson's students will learn the voice recording (open source) software Audacity to take an oral Spanish test.
2.) What will you teach with the technology?
-record a prepared script
-edit any errors
-export to desktop/zip drive
-save as WAV-Microsoft file
-attach to email
-send to Ms. Thoreson
3.) What are the students doing with the technology?
Since individual, oral tests are not conducive to the classroom setting, students are taking oral tests in the form of vocal recordings for Ms. Thoreson. The recordings will be emailed to Ms. Thoreson to assess.
4.) How will this help students learn content at a deeper level?
Please see the above response from Ms. Thoreson as she is the content teacher. Students will also be gaining a valuable tool to use in projects across the range of disciplines.
5.) What did you learn today?
I learned that technology is a convenience for some and a scare tactic to others. However, I learned that trial and error are worth the wait and the more persistent I am, the better the results. My website is taking on a new personality and I am excited to present it to the G-T community.
6.) Do you need more time to work on tech integration?
I am fairly tech savvy, but in helping my peers, I believe more tech time is critical to their comfort and success in integrating technology into their curricular areas.
1. What is the lesson objective? Students will personally experience the responsibilities of parenting a newborn infant, and reflect on personal readiness for parenting.
ReplyDelete2. What will you teach with the technology? I will teach how parenting requires time management, different priorities than that of a teenager, and caring for a newborn.
3. What are the students doing with the technology? The students will be using Baby Think It Over Parenting Simulators. Each student will be responsible for the "baby" for 24 hours and then will be graded on how well they cared for the baby.
4. How will this help students learn content at a deeper level? Students will begin to understand that caring for an infant requires a level of committment they have never had to have before.
5. What did you learn today? Beginning to use more technology in classrooms is a shift in thinking and practice for many teachers including myself. It will require trial and error and practice. And a positive attitude.
6. Do you need more time to work on tech integration? Yes and it would be nice to know how other teachers in my field are using technology. Maybe a topic for June's Perkins meeting.
