Domain 4.3: Professional development by Patricia Vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o Made with ♥ en-us 2017-04-21 21:19:19 UTC 2026-03-14 05:34:21 UTC hello@padlet.com I attended various workshops throughout the summer and during the school year. I focused a great deal of the workshops on technology because I knew I wanted to implement more of it into my classroom. In total I have about 84 hours of which 25 was on technology. patricia_vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167591522 2017-04-21 21:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167591522 patricia_vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167591562 2017-04-21 21:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167591562 patricia_vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167591603 2017-04-21 21:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167591603 patricia_vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167591696 I went to another workshop on QR codes and using vocaroo. With vocaroo, students are able to record their voice and create a QR code for parents to scar and hear. In this activity, students wrote an expository text on zebras and then they read and recorded what they wrote.]]> 2017-04-21 21:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167591696 patricia_vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167591786 One of the workshops I attended was on Padlet.  The students in my class were learning about community helpers.  They chose a community they would like to be.  
We also used chatterpix so that they could tell why they would like to be that community helper. I put all the students work on a padlet and created a QR code for parents to scan and hear.]]> 2017-04-21 21:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167591786 Even though I was already using google classroom, over the summer I went to a workshop called google classroom for tiny tots. Throughout the year I upload various activities onto google classroom for students to do and complete. The activities can range from logging onto book flix to listen to a story or an assignment to create a book cover for their story. Currently, I have uploaded 18 assignments for students to do on google classroom. patricia_vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167592135 2017-04-21 21:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167592135 Here a student is using a QR code to check her work. patricia_vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167592749 2017-04-21 21:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167592749 Also had the opportunity to attend a Dr. Nicki workshop for math.

Students in my classroom are able to publish their writing in a more fun way. patricia_vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167865839 2017-04-24 15:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167865839 In google classroom, students also created their own book covers to their stories. patricia_vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167868521 2017-04-24 15:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167868521 patricia_vargas https://padlet.com/patricia_vargas/1u8duq1cym8o/wish/167908184 We had a workshop with Dr. V on writing.  We read a great book which gave me great ideas to do in my classroom.
