ISTE Resource

For ISTE standard four, Innovative Designer, I focused on resources that will help with the brainstorming process, a key element in innovation. I found this website, Stormboard, that allows students and teachers to collaborate on ideas. It is free for educators, and through the educator it is also free for students. I think that this website will help students be Innovative Designers because it creates an easy atmosphere for students to put ideas down, and the class can look at the thought process as a whole and comment on each others work with ideas of their own. Furthermore, I think that this tool would be ideal in a high school setting because it does require an email and is a little advanced, but other grades could use it if the teacher thinks it fits into the class.

    I love the Stormbroad resource, the amount of collaboration from the students and educators would go off the charts! I didn't even think about the fact that some students might not have the same chances as others to use it, however, the idea, in my opinion, is pretty sound and would definitely enhance student learning! Good job!

ILP “Design” – Class Dojo

For my design ILP, I chose to create a class in Class Dojo. I wanted to work on this website because in a classroom that I observe, the teacher uses Dojo every day. It looked like a vital tool, so I wanted to get acquainted with the website and all the features it encompasses. For the purpose of this project, I dabbled with the point system, the group system, and the class "tweets," which I think will really help increase and streamline parent-teacher communication. Overall, this ILP let me get familiar with the tools of Class Dojo, and I am positive that I will use it in my career as a teacher. My VoiceThread Link can be found here . My Class Dojo can be found here ; however, you can only see the class when I am logged in (if you would like to see it, comment your email, and I can add you as a co-teacher!). Here is a screenshot instead! Disclaimer: I am sick, so my voice is really scratchy!

The Digital Divide (BJ4)

With these first few weeks of using Twitter, especially it being the first time I have ever had a twitter account, I can honestly say that I am enjoying all the information that is available to me. I have followed many, many educators that have first-hand experience with their teaching classrooms, and politicians who are very informed with educational policy. I am learning about different aspects of my chosen profession that I didn't even knew existed. Mostly, I have been interacting with Vicki Davis, a woman who has her own blog called "Cool Cat Teacher." I haven't had direct interaction with her, but I have retweeted some of her things because they are just so insightful. For example, she blogged about the idea of being childlike instead of childish, which was very interesting to me because I had never tried to separate the two ideas before, but she gave an excellent description and used her experiences in the classroom to help her case. Also, she tweets about oth...

ILP “Participation” – Lynda.com - Keynote For Educators

For my project, I did a Lynda.com course on Keynote for Educators. It went through why teachers should use Keynote if they have an IOS product, like I do, and how to use action buttons for an interactive tool. Also, it went over how to use Keynote for a flipped classroom, or teaching outside classroom hours and reinforcing activities during class time, with the feature of being able to record yourself over slides to create a short video. Finally, the video went over how students can use Keynote, with using it to assess students through presentations or having them create a flipped classroom lesson themselves. Overall, this course taught me some features Keynote that I can use on my laptop as a future educator and why it is an effective educational tool. The VoiceThread summary can be found here .
