Outside the Classroom Technology Experience

My 6th graders take a week long trip to Babler State Park. Here I teach a course called Wilderness Survival, where students build shelters and learn to make fires. During this time we talk about how technology has advanced the way in which we do these things! The lack of technology we use actually helps us appreciate the 1:1 Chrome Book ratio we have at school.

For my personal use, technology is extremely important. I workout at a studio called OrangeTheory Fitness. Here your heart rate is monitored throughout your workout by wearing a monitor. It is a great way to see how hard you are working and set goals for yourself! Goal setting, both academic and personal, is a huge part of my classroom and school. I am able to share my results with my students so we can monitor and track our goals electronically.

My students play a variety of review games using technology.

Quizlet and Quizizz are two of their favorites. This is an interactive way for students to review material. We often use this as an exit ticket.

Quizizz will send me a breakdown of each students individual results which I use for the next lesson in order to group students for reteaching or enrichment.

We also are going to be completing a virtual reality tour of a cell, using Google Expeditions!

This year I have focused on the students relating their instruction into something they are passionate about. This helps to create a connection with the life science curriculum and student interests.

Here are some examples: Students were to create an analogy of a cell based on their passion. (They had to make sure the function of the cell part was the same of their non-living piece)

I am a 6th grade science teacher in the Rockwood School District. I have been teaching for 4 years and have loved every second.

I teach 6 science classes, all at varying levels. I strive each day to have a student centered classroom. Each day is filled with students working at their own levels and pace. Sometimes it looks chaotic but I wouldn't have it any other way!

After School Activities Include:
-Mandatory after school tutoring
-Science tutoring
-Where Everyone Belongs Club (2018)
-6th grade camp

Previously,  I taught in both the Riverview Gardens and Hazelwood School Districts. In these districts I coached track, sponsored student council and tutoring.
