MAKE sure to visit Blackboard and check email on a regular basis.
At the beginning of class, we began covering the PowerPoint posted in Blackboard called Differentiated Instruction. It discusses how students have different needs, and how to differentiate instruction to fit those students different needs.
What is technology's role in differentiating instruction? There are many different things one being programs which creates stories, poems, there are multimedia authoring, and processors with voice annotations, just to name a few. There are technology programs that help with logic and critical thinking skills, creativity and visual skills, communication and cooperation skills, and individual skills.
We also discussed how Skype, Blogger, PBwiki, Diigo, Media Sharing, Learning Communities, and Wikis, can be used in the classroom or with your students, and with parents. Using these tools gets them involved, they know how to use it now you can show them how to use it correctly and in a way that is educational.
Check out the link for Blog Ideas for the classroom, at teachersfirst.com.
Check out the Sister Salad YouTube videos, SchoolTube, and TeacherTube related to Media Sharing.
The link for edu2.0 is similar to a free Blackboard for K-12 teachers to use for their classroom:)
We discussed a new assignment called Technology Mini-Lesson which you can find on Blackboard. Watch for an email from her about this. Presentations will be done after we are out in the field.
Dont forget about your Organizational Database due two weeks from today.
