Blog # I Kahoot!

Blog H Chapter #9

This week we are thinking about how to express creativity with multimedia technologies.
The 3 concepts that I would use is:
Using imaging projector or other graphs to further a discussion.
Using diagrams to promote good behavior and jeep them interested.
Having a presentation prepared for to teach different subjects to keep the students engaged and interested. 

First concept: I could put sentences on the bored with a projector;
Sally are going to go with me and Marie to the party
Sally is going to go with me and Marie to the party.
Sally is going to go with Marie and I to the party.

Then I would ask my class which one was right? Then continue on a discussion so that we all can learn English and other subjects from each other.

Second concept: When my students behave badly as an overall class they will see the result at the end of each day. If they have more good days than bad I will reward them at the end of the month.

Similar to this.

Third concept: To prepare different presentations that can improve the engagement and interest of the kids.

Blog G Chapter #8

From the earliest way of engaging students through teaching with technology the advancements in each area should almost seem to interconnect together.

I remember when one of my teachers in my junior year in high school (2007) used the technology to take over the computers in front of us to teach us a skill. That to me was one of the earliest ways to interconnect technology with teaching. Also my whole class was on building a website; “oh how far technology has come since I took that class”.

I so glad to be learning what technology that I can use when I become and teacher. I know now that there are websites that you can use to build your own website. Websites like Wiki I believe will engage students to build communication skills, while learning the task(s) at hand through technology. I know that as a future teacher it is part of my job to learn all these different ways to help my students succeed.

I am also planning on starting out and teaching Kindergarten, so I do believe that they technology I will use will have a big impact on my students at such a young age. I hope that my whole class looks up to me, and I develop that individual relationship with each student in finding what technology best interest them, so that I can apply it more to their individual studies to ensure each student in my class strives. 

I am still in the process of learning myself about what technologies I can use in my Kindergarten classroom that my students can communicate and collaborate while succeeding.

I remember growing up I had a “Hello Kitty” CD-ROM, and in that software “Hello Kitty” could teach you how to color, count, and play music. I didn't even realize at the time how much I was learning because it was so much fun.

Here is an Idea of linking technology is developing an early learning skill. Using bubbl.us

Blog F Chapter #10

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.




Making a Puzzle Courtesy for the Map of America !
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.
