Made by Wordle

I know that with-in my first year as a Teacher there will be a lot of different challenges. I will have to adapt and find my own teaching style, and different techniques to try to engage my students in the best possible learning experience. The Wordle up top describes how I think my first year as a new teach might go. I know that there will always be new technology to teach with, as well as different students to learn from it. I am very excited to promote learning success as a new teacher with all the technology advances of today. 

I believe as I learn how each of my students work individually I will be able to capture the different ways I can use technology and strategies in my teachings with each student.

Like a student that might have trouble reading I can have them sit on a computer and play with a program that helps with their reading, and spelling.

For a student that might have trouble for math I can give them an tablet with interactive games, that might not just be shown on the tablet, but could be interactive for the whole class on a big screen.

I know that for each student that if I engage them in the area they struggle with and combine it with something they really like for them to learn, all they will be able to do is strive. 

Blog Post E Chapter #7

I know that when I am a teacher there will a lot of problem solving my class will have to learn. I am so happy to be learning the Technology that will help them staying interested while studying these problems.

The websites mentioned in the 7.1 tools (Squeak Etoys, and Scratch) will be a great way to engage kids. I will probably have quiet a few Software system's to keep kids wanting to learn, to where my class will have nowhere to go, but up in every aspect of life.

Kahoot !
My First concept is a Math Quiz using Kahoot.

My Second concept is taking a Comic Bitstrip and telling my class how to make a Model of the Solar System.

This Puzzle is to make kids think while having, fun learning about the country they live in, USA !
The book mentioned Google Earth,  actually used Google Earth yesterday for a college map quiz. There are so many technical things out there for kids, that can keep them entertained for hours of learning and problem solving. When I was little I used to play a memory game, my parents to this day will still say nobody was as good as I was at that game. Also throughout school I developed a liking for Mazes, I guess it was just a part of my developing mind.

E-LEARNING
Concept #1 How hooked on Phonics is making a difference in early childhood development.

Hooked on Phonics

Concept #2 Edutopia I think is a different way of teaching in general. I know this class is about using technology to teach, but this website is really interesting to me because it shows different ways of engaging a child’s attention outside the classroom. It does have web-gaming suggestions that using a site that has interactive games can be affective. To me this website makes a child see that the world around them is their learning environment, not just the four walls of a classroom.

Digital Citizenship 

Concept #3 this site is for all grades and kids it has videos made for kids on all different subjects. I really like this site because it can catch the interest for all the students and be able to teach them on some hard subjects.

Concept # 3

Using applications to enhance social learning. No matter where a child comes from all children has trouble feeling social outside their family. I think an app that they can use at any age to enhance their social skills and help them be more outgoing when it comes time for them to be in a classroom setting. 

Language Participation Techniques in the Classroom

Teaching with Technology the "Wright" Way

Nicole Blog Post #B

I know when I become a teacher I will be able to really engage my students in learning with technology. I know when I first become a teacher I will have to find my own individual way of teaching, but I will learn as I use technology for every aspect of me and my students success.

In the following video the teacher really shows how she engages the students with technology and the results she has had.
 Teaching with Technology the "Wright" Way

I know that for some teachers thinking about letting their students use technology in the classroom is unsettling. I believe that when they give the chance they will see the success that it brings to their studies. I know that some teachers want to have full control while still using the devices, but either way it will bring improvement. In this area I have a true story, when I was a Junior in high school I had a website building class. It was one of my favorite classes because I got to use computers. I also remember when he connected his computer with the rest of the classes to teach us something. The things that happened in that class meant a lot to me. It was what I considered doing at first before deciding to become a teacher.

In the following picture the teacher is just keeping a close eye on his students as they learn on their laptop computers.

 

Learning Technology Integration by Design

I know today there is a lot of websites that is used for teaching. In our book it list applications for every subject. I am very happy from a future mom and teacher’s point of view to know that there are websites for very early learning development. I will be one to use these websites very frequently as a mom and teacher.

In the picture below is a chart to show the success that ABCmouse.com has.
