This year I am proud that my students have begun to understanding coding. We started off using the apps Tynker and Codable to learn simple coding. After my students understood how coding worked, we branched out to using the Osmo Coding. They LOVED using the interactive pieces on the Osmo. The more they play the coding game, the more proficient they become. Now I feel like my students are excited to code each time they have a chance. Our next step is to use the Cubetto coding robot. We can't wait to try it out!

My goal for next year is to utilize the student iPads more. We did not start the year out with 1:1 iPads, but now we are very lucky to have them for each student. Next year my goal is to begin using the student iPads sooner, and utilize the Seesaw app to share our learning. I wanted to use it this year, but I did not get to it. I also would like to try the app Padlet with my kindergartners next year.

I was so excited to introduce the Cubetto coding robot to my students last week.  We will be working in small groups to have students individually code their robots.  After doing this, students will work with partners to answer addition problems using the Cubetto robot.

My goal is to start the new year with each student's personalized digital device personalized to their own academic needs with both language and math apps appropriate for their own academic level and using Google classroom.

I am proud of opening my classroom for the ED Elements crew. I am proud of my students becoming comfortable with visitors asking them questions about their digital work.

I am proud of the way my class was able to adapt to small group teaching/learning.

Having to open my class for EdElements was intimidating, but such a wonderful learning experience!

I am proud of the way my students complete assignments on google classroom. We started taking our vocab/ grammar quizzes on classroom. They love it.

I am proud of my students for being so flexible this year in reference to incorporating the Blended Learning model within our Content area. They enjoyed the ability to have choice as well as technology.

I am am proud  of the way my students evolved in using technology to enrich their learning. Through blended learning, I was able to let go of some of the control in my classroom and make my students more active in their learning. The students were thrilled to have the chance to have student choice and be creative in doing so.

I was so excited to implement Blended Learning in Social Studies and Science this year. Students did a great job with collaborating to make posters, videos, complete graphic organizers, and more. The students were truly engaged and grasped concepts better through using Blended learning and collaborating.

I am impressed with my students and how they have embraced working together in small groups with Science and Social Studies.

I would like to be a paperless classroom.

My goal for next year is to continue using Blended Learning and using more technology to engage students. I also want to use Google Classroom for more quizzes and tests in reading and math.

I am proud of my students for working in collaborative groups to integrate our units on force/motion/magnets and weather/air to design self-propelling vehicles. The students used air (via balloons, straws, fans, etc) and/or force (via ramps/gravity, magnets,dominoes) to propel their hot wheel cars.

I am proud of myself and my students for first using technology at all this school year. Technology scared me, and I wanted the most training in technology. However, with Meaghan’s and the help of some first grade teachers, Kala Long, and Ms. Sanborn, I was able to start SeeSaw, Google Classroom, Padlet, CoSpaces, FrontRow, Lexia, Word to create writing samples, PicCollage, Morphology, YakIt, and iMovie.

My goal for next year is to incorporate technology more with trying to build fluency for myself. I also want to build confidence. As far as applications, I would like to get Apple Classroom set up and started.

My goal is for my students to utilize Google Suite.

I am proud of the choice my students have been given this year in their Creation and Collaboration projects. They have been so much more engaged in their research because they have been given the choice of what they researched and how they presented their findings.

My students have really enjoyed using OzoBots to create and then code stories in their small reading groups. By having the robot to "act out" their stories, they were much more focused on sequencing and making the story make sense.

I am so proud of the 11 students I took to the Tech Fair and the awesome work they created. I had never been to the Tech Fair, so these kids really had to work hard and figure things out without a whole lot of help from me, since I was relatively clueless!

I am proud of my students who were able to partner up and create their own kahoots for review. They were able to then play them with their groups during review rotations.
