I spent the afternoon chatting with Dr. Brooks and Mrs. Barthel about using new types of technology and interaction in the classroom.
I shared with them some of my insight on Voicethread and its many uses (to which you will become very accustomed) and they shared with me some really cool apps that you and I will be able to use over the course of the year.
With that in mind, as we get closer to the first day of school I will post some information on what apps you will need and practice using some of their features. Some of that information can be found now on the new page “For Students” listed at the top of this page.
I’m looking forward to experimenting with these new toys and working with you to figure out the best way to incorporate them in our class.
Irish Football kicks off the 2012 campaign and the quest for Cathedral’s first ever 3-peat State Titles with two-a-days tomorrow. Just remember that games are not won on paper and that we are everyone’s superbowl. Meetings start at 7 AM.
then answering those questions in the main body of the page in the form of notes. At the end their are conclusion/summary questions based on the main ideas that each students should be able to answer.
Believe it or not we’re less than a month away from the beginning of a new school year. Please, try to contain your excitement… Seriously though, I’ve spent some choice moments over the last month beginning to put together some reference materials, activities, and labs to follow the curriculum map Mr. Fogel and I created at the end of May. Over the next month we’ll solidify our plans, look for technology to include, and start building some momentum to carry us through the first few weeks of August. We’ll see you then.
