Digital story telling is good for all grades. For my grade that I would like to teach I would use letters, numbers, shapes, and concepts as the theme of my digital books, and I would use the creative side of my students with finger painting, using macaroni, and using crayons. I believe that the digital story telling is a great way to get your students to interact. Here is one example of a lesson plan I would do with the digital story telling.EXAMPLE:Grade: Pre-k thru KindergartenTopics: Letters Objectives: Learning and remembering the entire alphabet.Materials:
· For the first project I would use dry macaroni and have them make their favorite letter after they have heard the letter book.
· For the next project I would have them use crayons and heavy paper to make a book similar to the digital letter book.
· Last project they would do would be to use paint to paint a picture. The first letter they learn will be the first letter of the word that they paint.
Sorry it’s so late, I had done it and uploaded it to the other website (FSC Portal). Didn’t realize it was on here too.
Spreadsheets can be used in classrooms to address different learning goals by creating one that show all the progress that the students in the class can make. If you create a spreadsheet that has all the students’ goals at the end and have all the students use it as a check list it will become fun for them, because they are moving around the classroom and also gives them a little competition. Children love competition. In addition to the goal reaching, children can use the technology of spreadsheets for research projects. Ultimately children will need to use spreadsheets and databases for real world experiences, and if you start them young with all the work they need, then they will benefit in the future. Teachers can use spreadsheets and databases for keeping track of children’s grades, their progress, and also use them as a way of communicating with the parents, or showing how their child is doing.
Option 1: Identify specific ways that you could teach any of the 21st century skills that the article discusses once you have your own classroom. Your answer should relate to your particular content area or grade level.
Kindergartners start out needing some sense of direction. How should they get their sense of direction? How could I as their teacher help them (with tecnology) to find their direction and make sense of things? I have one word for you, SMARTboard. This amazing technical advance could really help out kindergartners; with the easy way that this board shows pictures, lets kids interact and shows how things might work it is a great advancement in technology that will ultimately make kindergartners find that sense of direction, and also give them a fun time while learning.
In addition, the smart board is a great way to learn some communication skills, and some problem solving skills. By using the SMARTboard you can show how to communicate with others around them by letting them show what they know in front of the class, or letting them solve a problem using the SMARTboard. Kids love attention, and the SMARTborad lets them be the center of it, while helping them learn also. The SMARTboard is a great way to let kindergartners become engaged in their learning environment.
