Wooowww!!! What a great morning we had yesterday! I was VERY impressed with the workmanship that you put into yesterday’s assignment. It’s not an easy thing to do but I saw great ideas and use of technology being integrated into your lessons. Again, we’re looking at ‘blending’ the technology in with the lessons. We’re not looking at using the technology for a whole class – rather we’re looking at where a technology or web tool could be used to enhance a segment of the lesson. I’m sure that it is no different here in Dominica as it is in Canada in that anytime we can bring technology into the lesson, the students are captivated.
I saw teachers using Voki’s to introduce a lesson, wikipages being constructed to assist in the delivery of the lesson, Wordle being used as part of the lesson, Prezi being used as a means of presenting the lesson, JamStudio being incorporated, our Superhero generater being used in a descriptive essay lesson – and it goes on and on!!! FANTASTIC!!!
