nickie mcclure 20%

1. What I accomplished: I created six screencasts tutorials for the parents and children. I used smart to demonstrate 4 math problems teaching partical sums and partical products. I also demonstrated blabberize, and how to make a glogster. Another thing I did was add great student links to my site. The link to my screencasts is below

2. Standards- I think the standard that I ulitized for this 20 % was was modeling digital age work. I modeled the use of screencastomatic so my students and parents have a reference to look back on as needed. I demonstrated how I used screencastomatic to the students and showed them where they are on my site.

3. I believe I have achieved the standard of develop digital learning assessments and experiences as i had the students do voicethread, blabberize, and glog and then filled out in online rubric. The standard of engaging in professional growth and leadership is me participating this this Tech cohort

Integrating Technology in the curriculum

Hamline University 2011

Idea- I integrated a technology lesson with every second grade Language Arts Theme.

Theme one- Silly Stories- This theme has four very funny, fantasy stories. As a closing the students will make a comic using the makebelief comics. They will use two characters from two different silly stories. Students will work with a partner and complete a rough copy first. Next, I will demonstrate the site in the classroom, then students will create their own in the lab

Theme Two- Nature Stories- Kerploof story- students will create a nature/aminal story in kerploof

Theme Three- Around the Neighborhood- These stories focus on different neighborhoods

 (Chinatown, the city, the Barrio). I will have the kids gather three facts about the Edina community and make three slides. This also fits with our Edina history social studies unit.

Theme Four-Amazing animals-  Using kidspiration students will create a web of animal with three facts them voice thread  their facts as well

Theme five- family Stories- Blabberize- Students will download a lifetouch picture and say three fact about their families. 1- who is in the family? 2. tradition 3.  favorite vacation

Theme six- Talent- advertise their own talent using an interactive poster on Glogster

 The 1st standard of developing technology to enrich and pursue students' curiosities I feel I have accomplished. I told the kids a little about the tool blabberize- everyday they ask when do we get to try it. We finally did it so their curiosities were pursued.

The 2nd standard to model and facilitate current digital tools- I have done by modeling make belief comics, voice thread, and blabberize thus far.

The 3rd standard to evaluate and reflect existing digital tools I believe was my 20% project. I researched and evaluated many tools to see how certain tools would fit into the curriculum.
