Hi there! It's me again!
This morning I posted about overcoming my barriers with infused lessons in the classroom. I have been working all day on my Tech Academy project, and now I am coming back to reflect on my learning from today.
PLN time - what new resources did you find and what new strategies will you use to enhance your technology infusion for the upcoming year?
My first assignment this morning was to spend 30 minutes growing my PLN (personal learning network). I did some looking on twitter and followed a few new people. Including a lady I found just from googling (flipped classrooms kindergarten); Matt Gomez who is also a Kindergarten teacher, and Todd Nesloney from a webinar I was required to watch. All have awesome ideas and are inspiring.
Just from googling (flipped classrooms kindergarten) I was able to spot quite a few websites, and blogs of teachers who have tried flipping in Kindergarten.
I would say that Twitter will be a new strategy that I will use to enhance my technology infusion for the upcoming year.
Flipped Classrooms - what did you learn from the webinar?
This morning I watched a Webinar on Flipped Classrooms by Todd Nesloney. This guy is a master teacher who has brought the art of the Flipped classroom to life. He teaches in a school setting that is relatively similar to CISD.
I learned so much from watching his video. I learned about a few new sites and programs that I didn't know about. I also learned how he goes about a no excuses environment from both his students and the parents. He also gave insight on what to do if not all students have internet access at home. He talked about ways to stay connected with his parents and to keep them on board with the idea. Then I learned about two PD resources for me to look into.
Your lesson and student sample - what is the lesson that you are using for this course and what web tool will your students use in this lesson?
My lesson for this course will be on the Lifecycle of a Plant. My students will be making their own video to demonstrate their learning using Educreations.
It's been a long and busy day, but I've learned a lot! See ya tomorrow! :)
Matt B Gomez has some awesome Twitter experiences to share, he connects with classrooms all over the world and they share work and teach each other global awareness... it's pretty awesome. You could start smaller and connect with a kinder class at CE or JJE and you guys could ask questions over Twitter, share what you are learning... just a thought. Each morning you could have "Twitter Time"
