This website contained the class syllabus, extra credit resources, documents and graph that we periodically used for assignments. These documents were read-only find as to make sure that the students did not have access to edit them. There was also a hub for all of our assignments. He would post them quite a few weeks weeks early. This website was created by Google.]]> 2018-05-20 17:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262196210 monicadbedgood https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262203702 This is one of the videos that Joel used in class to help teach about some of the chapters in our Earth Science textbook. I can absolutely see how using animated videos can aide in teaching certain subjects and topics in a fun and exciting way!]]> 2018-05-20 19:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262203702 monicadbedgood https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262204143 Joel used a variety of Google Docs attached to the classroom website and also required a number of our assignments to be done via a Google Doc for submission. I have included our Google Slide presentation in this box as an example of how we used this feature to improve our classroom experience! We used the slides below as a guide for our verbal presentation.]]> 2018-05-20 19:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262204143 monicadbedgood https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262204820 Joel used GoNoodle a number of times during our 3-hour long class each week to keep us up and active. This was a great addition to the technology that we were already using because it got our attention and kept us involved in the classroom activities. It also made the time go by faster!]]> 2018-05-20 19:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262204820 monicadbedgood https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262205141 Although this activity did not coincide directly with our Earth Science topics each week, it was a fantastic way to utilize technology in the terms of keeping us entertained and interested in classroom discussions. ]]> 2018-05-20 19:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262205141 monicadbedgood https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262205332 Some ideas for stepping up the technology usage incorporated in Joel's classroom might be use an app called ClassDojo. This app (available on computers, iPads, and smartphones) is a great way to encourage good behavior and reward students who are doing well in the classroom. One awesome feature about this app that you can connect with parents and other educators in your school. Your students parents can download the app and check-in on their child to keep tabs on their Dojo points and other teachers are able to add points to specific students in your classroom, or to the class as a whole for a variety of things. This is a great tool to use to connect with others!]]> 2018-05-20 19:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262205332 monicadbedgood https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262208851 2018-05-20 20:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/monicadbedgood/9ugdd6lfvdwy/wish/262208851
