Here is my language arts lesson plan, here is my mathematics lesson plan, and here is my science lesson plan. These are all for kindergarten classes.
What I learned from the technology videos:
The videos featured online about technology in the classroom were very informative and gave me a lot of ideas. I learned that teachers need to have knowledge of basic technology equipment operations and concepts, of technology resources and tools for information literacy, and technology resources and tools for content areas. I learned that using media is a positive way to present relevant and age appropriate information while arousing interest. I learned that using technology at school may be a child’s only opportunity to use technology and therefore will give them an opportunity to pick up vital skills. I also learned that it’s a good way to involve parents that otherwise might not be very involved. Using different software gives them skills in those specific areas, and helps them realize that there are a lot of computer resources available, such as the internet and cd roms. Being exposed to technology in the classroom helps them gain awareness of computers in society and helps them understand how computers are used in their community. I was very impressed with the students ability to use the computer independently, and I will definitely not doubt the learning value of technology in the future.
I watched 'bookends of war' and 'inside kapunahala'

Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI took a look at your science lesson plan on animals. I thought that using the projector was a good way to show the students examples of the animals but it didn't look like the students were active participants in the lesson. How could you have used the technology in a more engaging way? One thought that I had was that you could create a page on your class website. There you could include videos, pictures, sounds, and music. This would allow for the students to learn in a more engaging way and at their own pace.
