About Me

I am a high school teacher who is currently taking her masters of education in curriculum studies in a technology cohort. I am excited to learn new and exciting ways to incorporate technology into my classroom.

Week #5

Today we were put into groups to complete a wordle, glogster, and primary pad. I think Al did a great job of assigning the groups, I get along so well with my group (not that I wouldn’t have gotten along with others, but I think I can relate the most to these girls). Primary pad is a great way to keep everything that we are collaborating about in one place. I like the idea of using this to organize a group. You can log in whenever and get caught up on what was said and post your own comments or suggestions. It is a good way to be able to monitor who is doing what in a group project.
We are working on our glogster and it is coming along. It is nice to be able to go in and edit something or add something and have everyone else see what you have done immediately s o they can add to it or edit it. I like glogster but the only concern I would have with brining it into my classroom would be that when you search for something there are some racy pictures that come up sometimes. I would be able to use this with my Software class no problem (they are mature students) but I might think twice before incorporating it into my business technology class (they might be more susceptible to search out the inaproppriate images). I will use this to create an assignment. I think it would be a very creative way for students to get an assignment. It is great that you can add video and audio to the glog.
I have seen wordle posters but I have not actually made one before, so I am excited to get into this. I will defiantly incorporate this into my classroom.
