Maintaining Momentum, 15 Minutes a Day | David Seah - 0 views

  • Every morning we meet at 715AM in a chat room and work for 15 minutes on an important personal project.
  • getting started is the hardest step
  • private Campfire chat room
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • We would make a commitment to show up in the chat room at the same time every day, no exceptions. We picked 715AM.
  • At 715AM, we would declare what we were going to work on for the next 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes were up, we would report on what we got done.
  • We were both in a place where we wanted change in our lives, and therefore were willing to give up some comfort to make it happen. We were not going to let each other down by NOT showing up. No rescheduling when something “more important” comes up,
  • With three people in the chat room, it’s important to make sure it’s still focuse

Goodbye SmartBoard… Hello Apple TV | Exploring Digital Media in Education - 0 views

  • I use our class accounts for Twitter, blogs, Instagram, Skypeetc almost daily in my classroom. We are engaged in various projects at any given moment and we use these tools as a way to communicate with other classes and people all over the world. Each student in my class has their own iPad which they use at various times during the day to engage with a variety of tools, apps, people (often times using social media), their environment, and each other. What the Apple TV allows us to do is to share what we are doing on our iPads at any given moment with the whole class.

Technology in the Classroom: Embrace the Bumpy Ride! - 0 views

  • Don’t view technology as just one more thing to add to your day.
  • If technology is something that you try to add after you have planned your reading, writing and math, you are destined to fail at “integrating” technology.
  • use technology when it allows you to do something in a better way than you have done before or to do something that was formerly impossible to do.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • You can select a tool or app that will give your students an online audience for their learning and connect them with other classrooms and experts around the world. That tool may be as different as a classroom blog or Twitter or Skype.
  • My days with technology do NOT all run smoothly. Sometimes there are many stops and starts.
  • Sometimes a tool that I rely on will not work for some reason or other.
  • things don’t always run smoothly when I am teaching without technology either.
  • For anything that will become a learning routine in my early years classroom, whether it involves technology or not, I model, model, model it and then we practice it together until the students can do it independently.
  • Flexibility and a backup plan are important ingredients in any classroom, but particularly in a space that includes the use of technology.
  • My suggestion for people who are hesitant to use technology in significant ways is to start with one thing. Think of one way technology could enhance or deepen the learning in your classroom and then just try it. If you fumble and falter for a bit, keep trying.
  • To my six-year-old students, and in fact to all students in school today, computers, tablets, smart phones, interactive boards, etc. are not technology. They just are. It’s their teachers and parents who consider these items to be something new or unusual.
  • These tools have the power to become the stuff of teaching and learning if we will let them. Don’t think of them as technology. They are just part of the fabric of life around us. Students need to be shown how to use them to learn.
