Day 9: Live Binders, Kid Blog

This morning we learned about several technology tools that I think I could use in my classroom or class prep. Live Binders (www.livebinders.com) is a great place to organize my content by unit, and I can also look at activities that other teachers use. Kid Blogs (kidblog.org) is a website where we can set up class blogs and invite our students. The great thing is it is all connected. Also no one else can see what our students are writing - not public.

I had some major eye strain from using the computer without overhead light. I had a big flashing structure spanning horizontally the entire field of vision from left to right. I had to stop working. I was starting to panic, but it calmed down once I stopped looking at the monitor. 

Art: My project is progressing nicely. I'm excited and can start to see the direction of the finished product! Excited!!! Thanks, Dr. Bracey, for allowing us to stay a little longer in this project today!

I completed my mini lesson plan. I am excited about this!

I am not nearly as apprehensive about the big lesson plan as I was. I can do this. The issue is that I have never had to create such a detailed lesson plan. I am usually only required to provide an outline of my block instruction for each day.



Further reflections: I'm thinking that I can use Kahoot as a way to capture student responses and download them - cutting out the use of paper for certain assignments.
