shorten length of time for warm

use a presentation rubric for the Lensoo creation and for discussion

use split screen for smartboard/monitor

Did viewing the poll everywhere live affect student responses?

Glows

Lots of different types of integrated technology. Lots of transitions in class period. Evidence of clear classroom procedures & understanding by students

constructive feedback given during the opening/bell ringer

How can you use either of these strategies in your classroom?

I plan to use Lensoo SOON in my math classroom! That is a great place for students to show work and document their understanding!

Types of Technology Tools

strategiew were pairs; training before using; music if quiet;

technology: smart board; MBC; Lensoo create--students create their own presentation of problem solving; all good strategies

glows: students know what to do; students working well;

grows: too much down time during polleverywhere--maybe have true/false or yes/ no questions; as an opener or closer;

Lensoo is a cool whiteboard tool that students used to show their work and explain how they solved their problems. I could use this in ela by having students take a photo of text that answers a question, annotate textual evidence, and use the recording feature to analyze and explain how the evidence supports their idea. I like the way Yvette used speaking, collaboration, and writing in her math classroom. Glows: The new boy was immediately a part of the room: participating in class, partnering with someone else, having a voice as he shared his reasoning on how he solved hs problem. I spoke with him as he left the classroom--he felt a part of Yvette's community immediatly and the integration of technology was part of what made him connecct so quickly. Kudos to Yvette.

Grows: I wonder how you could possibly purposefully differentiate the problems and the work they share.

1. Strategies -

Students had a warm-up ready
Students knew to be quiet
Students knew when to transition to the next activity

2. Technology -

SmartBoard
Tablets
Poll Everywhere
Phones
Lensoo Create
Clarisketch
MBC

3. My Own Class

I can definitely see myself using these tools for teaching, skits, and for students creating their own material. I like that the students knew exactly what to do.

4. Glows

Students were constantly engaged and the technology was used effectively - it caused no disruption. I also like that student were reminded about how they would be recorded - it was an important instance to reteach good netiquette.

Dr. Ford provided a very inviting learning environment by adding various forms of integrated technology. The students were very comfortable using the technology and there was evidence throughout the room of on-going technology focus. For example, music was used to create an upbeat ambiance; students were able to use their cell phones, or tablets to work through their assignments. Students were also able to be creative with the use of Lensoo, which was very interesting to watch. As I watched the students engage in the days lesson, I would like to learn of a way to project multiple pages/screens onto the SMART board; this would have been helpful in displaying the math problems but showing the results of the Poll Everywhere! Great Job!

Students were familiar with the class routines. The student needed little or no instructions from the teacher to begin class.

Lots of different types of technology integration. Multiple transitions in a class period. Evidence of clear expectations of classroom procedures and student understanding.

Classroom Strategies: independent bell work; partnered class work

Technology: SmartBoard for projecting information; Poll Everywhere for anonymous response; tablets for Lensoo

Use: Maya suggested using Lensoo in the ELA classroom by taking a picture of a text where students can highlight words they don't know, annotate thoughts, and/or record vocal response

Glows: Students were actively engaged as soon as they walked into the classroom. Great idea playing music. Good behavior=music.

Grows: I wouldn't have shown which answers students were choosing during Poll Everywhere. I see my students not doing the work, but selecting the option that everyone else is choosing. However, I teach high school.

Wonderful implentation of technology!

1. Co-taught class, warm up with music, students complete the warm-ups on the board then explain from their seats.

2. Smartboard, smartphone, tablets: splashtop, lensoo create a white board presentation, MBC to post product!!(love this idea) poll everywhere for the warm-up.

3. Closing discussion on presentations via MBC.

4. Love the anchor-charts. I'm going to recreate some of them

5. Maybe a rubric as to what expectations needed for a good review of the product.

Strategies

Liked the background music for warm-up - good transition or auditory times up! Partner work used for problems & technology share & creation. Pick 3 - student choice. Liked that kids were using time to write work on board while others were still working. Closing discussion online so everyone's voice is heard.

Classroom strategies: Students knew what to expect immediately upon entering the classroom, student choice on problems for work period

Technology: Students AND teacher using> Music, SMARTBoard projection of warm-up, technology used for students to input info during work period, MBC or texting, poll everywhere

Grow: After students input info during work period can you use that in some form for the next day opening? How is feedback given on student work period information?

Glow: Students were very engaged with various forms of technology using simple cues. I loved the way students were selected to work problems at the board while other students were still working. Then those students were called on to verbally communicate their 'processes' in their solutions.

Good use of the smart board and tablets.

1. Your kids were so engaged and knew what to do. Great job with having established rituals and routines.

2. The lensoo create was an awesome way to have kids present out and then go onto MBC for discussion continuing the class.

3. Do the kids really like the discussion on MBC? I haven't used that yet with a CT class.

Strategies- Anchor Charts to remind of policies and procedures, apps to be downloaded on board, pre-downloaded apps onto school devices, workflow slide on ppt, verbal reminders of appropriate comments

Tech use- BYOT, Poll everywhere, tablet w/ splashtop to control, Lensoo create, MBC

Glows- Well thought out lesson, Good student collaboration, Anchor Charts, Great rituals and routines, Differentiation- student choice on problems

Grows- Maybe not display the answers on the poll everywhere until the end because some kids might just go with the majority

Uses

amcscience — 2014-10-30 17:50:25 UTC

Plan to integrate Thinglink for students to demonstrate understanding of content and Lensoo create to describe how to solve equations for Accelration & Speed. Also I will use MBS for students to discuss closing as modeled
