Another great week for Technology in Room 28. The external drive arrived! I hooked it up and backed up my mac machine. My students flash drives arrived as well. I am putting a label with their name on each one. I also plan to have them stored in a box, which I can lock up each night for security. My students are very excited.
I am set up to scan all their work in to their electronic portfolio but don't know how to set it up. I don't know where to ask for help on this. I am having trouble finding the time to discover this on my own. So if you know someone who can help me let me know! Thanks!
Again I set my students loose on google presentations. They went wild and love it. I recorded the presentations being made and need to learn how to make a video where I can speed up the action. Can anyone help with this project? I did interview my students about what they like best about technology in room 28. It is so cute. Now I just need to find the time to make the movie...
The facebook mathematician project was a bomb. My students do not work during class time. I gave them four days to work on it in class. My room is open before and after-school and at lunch. Not one of my students made it a page to show on the projector. OF my 16 students, four actually made the page but printed it out. They gave oral presentations which were lacking content and purpose. I did give an example and let my students tape me, talking about Albert Einstein. So to do this project again, I will have them print out sources and have an aid or myself highlight where the information should go. I think they need more structure on how to do a report.
On Friday, we finished reading chapter 2 of Hatchet and many of my students requested I make a Google form so they could write down their chapter details online versus their notebook. This is great for me because at one glance I can tell if they have comprehension of the story versus looking at 15 different notebooks.
