- What motivated you to become a tech nerd this summer?
I was part of the chrome book phase 1, so I have some experience with having chrome books in my classroom. I want to better utilize the chrome books in my classroom to support learning. I am looking for more ideas and ways to motivate my students.
- What you hope to learn about in Tech Nerd Camp 2.0?
I want to develop ways to help my students become digital citizens who can use technology to learn. This year, the students were always a step ahead of me in finding new ways to access information using their chrome books. I want to be the tech nerd of the classroom so I can stay ahead of my students instead.
- How would you describe your current comfort level with technology? What tools do you use already in your classroom (if any)?
I have become so much more comfortable using technology over the past school year. I regularly use Google Classroom and have developed many assignments including presentations using Google Slides. I have introduced my students to numerous websites to support learning this year including spelling city, quizlet, typing web, and kahoot.
Beautiful background! I agree we really need to get on this Digital Citizenship and chrome book expectations at the beginning of the year! I am excited that our team is doing this together. We are going to be pros by the end!
ReplyDeleteI used your beautiful blog like crazy today to figure out just how to do this! Thanks for doing it first!
DeleteI am glad to see you and so many other teachers from phase 1 at PW taking this camp. I hope that you all find some excellent take-aways from the experience. I also see that you are already supporting each other during camp by reading each others blogs and using the comments to start planning for next year. We have sprinkled digital citizenship throughout the course but the main focus in that area takes place in activity 9. If you want, you could always do that activity early and keep that information in mind as you work through the other activities.
