Thing 22, Share Something New
I was introduced to the Animoto app available on our Ipads. Before our winter break, my World History students selected copy free images from the internet pertaining to Christmas and the birth of Jesus. Additionally, they selected an audio clip to accompany the pictures. Using the Animoto app, each student created a slideshow including their pictures and music and presented it to the class. The app is very easy to manipulate and the students enjoyed the lesson. I was able to use this new technology in my teacher evaluation. The technology designed for our Ipads have become very valuable in our classroom and I appreciate having Mrs. Willingham as a source of information so close at hand.

Thing 23, Reflect, Finally!
23 Things has given many
opportunities for enhancing instruction, providing exposure to new things and a
chance to share new technology with others. I share what I have learned with my
teacher resource site, symbaloo, word-of-mouth, as well as working one-on-one
with teachers and co-teachers. I am always excited to share new ideas,
technology, and resources with others!
I have a better understanding of NETS-T (National
Educational technical Standards and Performance Indicators for Teachers) through
this SETIS experience. NETS-T promotes learning, leading, and serving as a
collaborator and facilitator. Our students are accustomed to technology, being
digital natives. We, as teachers, need
to implement technology in meaningful ways in our lessons. Older teachers, especially, I have noticed
are more apprehensive about using technology.
Our student’s knowledge and use of technology exceeds ours, so we must
be more open and willing to learn and incorporate technology in our units and
lessons gradually. Currently, our
students can’t use their phones, tablets, etc. in classrooms, however, Bring
Your Own Device (BYOD), seems reasonable and makes financial sense.
One area that I am concentrating on is digital
citizenship. I have noticed that
students copy and paste everything; pictures, text, assignments, whatever. Students don’t seem to grasp the concept of
plagiarism. It is extremely easy to copy
and paste someone else’s work without consequences. Students need to be taught
about Creative Commons
In this course, I have been given many opportunities to
“explore and play”. I watch and
encourage others to watch You Tube videos for instruction, download an app, Google
information needed, attend trainings, watch webinars and ask questions. I am proud to show teachers and students
something new and watch them share with others and enjoy using it.
