Day 1 PM EXTRA'S

Looking over my emails this morning, I get a ton of emails from blogs I follow (read) when there is new information regarding educational technology.  There was a great video about Google forms, surveys, and quizzes.   See you Saturday. 

CLICK HERE for the link to the video.

Also, I mentioned Padlet.  Here is more information regarding this resource.

Tutorial Video

Padlet can be used in many different brainstorming activities or discussions where participation can be active rather than passive for all students. Some suggestions for using padlet in the classroom are:

• K-W-L charts for pre and post assessment
• use as a formative assessment tool to check for student understanding
• place a sentence starter on a wall and allow students to complete with their own ideas
• allow students to ask questions about topics or assignments
• use a wall for group research projects to share ideas and web addresses
• showcase student work
• use to collect feedback or as a ticket out the door

Day 1 PM

We will be start by doing a tech share with an extension of Google drive and do some hands on exploring.  

Tonight's topic is about diversity in education.   Since this is different for each of us in the room, the discussion will be short.  We'll wrap up with some resources that you can start investigating for your Project 1.  There will be work time built into the end of class.   I am available for help with technology and help.
