Never have to fly solo!

By
Remember: John and I come with the cart so you will never have to move it or handle the class alone. I will help you design lessons/projects around whatever technology you like. And I will happily team-teach your classes with you when you are integrating technology that you are not comfortable with using yourself.

Use Polling for formative assessment in a Flipped Lesson

By
I like the term "flipped lesson" for now, since none of our teachers have flipped everything they do! Here is a nice article about how using Poll Everywhere (a free online polling system) can give your feedback after students watch a video or uploaded lecture, etc. If the poll is well designed, it can provide information about what material needs further instruction, gather excellent questions for the next class, etc. Click this link for the article... http://blog.polleverywhere.com/flipped-classroom-assessment-with-poll-everywhere/?utm_source=Poll+Everywhere+New+Feature+Newsletter&utm_campaign=30d3b12e48-Winter_Newsletter_2013_Gen_Olders_3_star_2_2013&utm_medium=email

Digital Storytelling

By
Digital storytelling is a broad term for an audio/visual “report” which can be a cultural story, historical biography, poetry, interview, news story, radio advertisement or book review, first person account or journal entry...any digital project can be seen or heard. I saw many examples at CUE, and they range in complexity from simple audio to audio with images to documentary “movies” with audio, video and still images. Some of the projects moved us to tears, others were humorous, and all were creative and intelligently constructed. Our laptops have the capability to do any of these things, and most students know how to organize images, sound and video already. If you have an upcoming assignment or project in your class and would like to update the format, please let me know. After a planning session with me, I will come in and facilitate the class while you provide the support for the subject matter.
