Are volunteers really free?

In this chapter we read about the multiple benefits of having volunteers in the classroom, one of them being helping the students get more of the individualized attention by freeing the teacher from…Continue

What do I think about the Edtech courses?

I once read that one of the main reasons that people feel hurt is because of predetermined expectations. When a person is expecting something and then it doesn’t happen, that is a recipe for feeling let down. In life, I have taken many courses and attended countless conferences and workshops, and what I have found was that there were times when the higher the expectation was that I set for the event, the higher my letdown was too. To that note, I decided from then on to at least only attend…See More

WHAT DID I LEARN IN CLASS TODAY?

I am really excited about discovering podcasts and how to create one, but I am really excited about actually using them for my classes next year. In the podcast I created I spoke about the concern that I had when students who were showing a great grasp on the subject matter while in class would be the very same ones who couldn’t perform well on a simple assessment the very next day in class. A great, easy, and free tool to use is a podcast. With a podcast, a teacher can record himself reading…See More

Privacy: Are we giving mixed messages?

Call me old school, but I am very cautious about giving out personal information over the internet. After reading chapter 10 in a book called “Technology Integration for Meaningful Classroom Use”, I was all the more reminded of just how careful we have to be while cruising down the internet. I remember during our in-service this year, when we had to type in our cell phone number to activate one of the online tools, how I used my friends number because I was too scared to give my own number.…See More

"Hopefully more schools will figure out ways to give internet access to their student without compromising safety instead of banning it."

"It certainly can be daunting and the important thing is not to introduce more than you or the class can handle. Just because a tool is new, intriguing and everyone is loving it, does not mean it has a place in your class at this time. Strategically…"

Overcoming Obstacles

I have read a few blogs and articles about the concept of using Twitter in the Day School classroom, and the main obstacle which I read of using this tool, is that many Day Schools either forbid the usage of cell phones by the students, or that even if the students are working on their laptops, they have no access to the school wifi. These readings put a major damper on the excitement of trying something new in my classroom.As I sat by my computer doing this assignment tonight, a thought came…See More

CHEVRA, DON'T FORGET YOUR BLOGWORK

Using web 2.0 tools in my classroom is very new to me, and therefore quite daunting. This year I introduced Google docs and Glogster to my students as alternate ways to assess their mastery of the skills lessons covered in class. After reading this past chapter on Blogging, I see great potential for me and for my students. What I think I might introduce to my classes next year is a reflective question about something that came up in that days lesson as a homework assignment. For an example if…See More

Evernote, lessons that last forever

Posted on July 28, 2011 at 9:51pm 0 Comments

There are so many advantages in using Web 2.0 tools in the classroom, including the creating of a community of learners in your classroom, in which the learning is not just focused on individuals, but rather on the whole class growing together, and one of the other advantages being the low cost. Evernote is one of the 2.0 tools that bring these advantages to your classroom.

Evernote is an online organizational tool that allows you to clip text, images, audio, and PDF files from the…

Boy, am I hungry!

Did you ever have one of those days where things seemed to be making sense (at least academically) all day long? Today was one of those days for me. As part of YU’s EdTech certificate program that I am participating in, I was assigned the task of staying current with the ISTE conference either by being there live, or by watching the conference via video on demand. For those who are not yet familiar with ISTE, it stands for International Society for Technology in Education and is designed for…

The 21st century research moves us educators away from the three R’s (Reading wRiting and aRithmatic), and leads us to the four Cs (Critical thinking and problem solving, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity and innovation. We have been introduced to many new Web 2.0 tools that can help us transition there. There were times along the way of this journey where things made more sense than others, but even at the best of times, I wasn’t sure how it all came together. Today, when I was… Continue
