Well first and foremost, I am so glad I did this. At first I felt really overwhelmed with all this information. I had no idea on how I was going to start this since I am not a computer whiz. However, once I began I felt that a lot of the information that I was learning was so relevant that I became more interested on how I can use them in my classroom. As of right now, I have goals that I would like to achieve, which are:
First I would for my students at the end of the year will be able to create a story in a group using story bird.
Second, I would like to use skype as a way to communicate with other classroom in my school or even in other schools from other cities. We can discuss units or even read to each other.
Third, I would like for my students to become more independent when using the devices. I want them to be technology fluent at their level.
Overall this experience has broadened my mind in regards to technology in the classroom. Half of the apps and sites that I used during the process, I had no idea they even existed. One thing that to woul like to continue doing is to gain more understanding on how I can use some of the apps and sites in my kinder classroom. I want my students to be ready for what’s the come in the future.
There are many things out there to keep on learning things to use with your kinder students! The PK campuses do so much with technology and sometimes lead classes. Check in Eduphoria every now and then and Mrs. Bowden also sometimes knows of great classes coming up! Great work!
