Tool #11 - Self Assessing and Reflecting

My favorite tools:
Voki
Blogger
YouTube
Discovery Education
DropBox
GoogleApps
Glogster
Prezi
Diigo
Skype
Classroom-Based Devices

Since we have started doing a great deal of project based assessment I think I will utilize Blogger, Discover Education, DropBox for their research. GoogleApps, Glogster and Prezi for their collaboration and final product.

My vision for my classroom has changed a great deal. I wouldn't say I was fearful of using technology in my classroom in previous years but I didn't think there was much time for its use, other than projects, because of how fast the curriculum moves. Now I can see my classroom being more technology friendly. I think the kids will enjoy it. I dont think I will have to make too many changes, but I think I could utilize technology more often and I think that will be easier with the increase in devices in our classrooms.

I didn't think I would take much away from this training but boy was I wrong! Great Training.

  1. Watched this Youtube about a science teacher Aaron Sams who flipped his classroom. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHYm7U0ePWY and here is another teacher trying a similar approach http://blendmylearning.com/

    Please be careful with Prezi - Their terms of service say 18 and over. I think it is a tool best left to you!
