School is out and another summer is here. I am a little nervous not having my students to be my guinea pigs; for me to try out new stuff on. But I move on and continue to refine the GAME plan. I am really excited to try some micro blogging with my students. One of my goals was to model good digital citizenship for my students and showing them how to effectively use programs like Twitter will be useful. Here’s the deal, I am going to have to do some digging to really learning how to use some of this social networking effectively in the classroom and for my content area. We have learned about some good resources in our lessons this week but I think the best way for me to learn is to just jump in and test the water so….her goes!

ReplyDeleteI am very jealous that you are already out of school. We have one more week; however, I do LOVE the title of your post this week! I feel the exact same way- a little overwhelmed actually. There is SO much technology available and the fact that it is free makes it even better! I am a little wary of allowing me students to jump in the water without me trying it out first, so I'm sure that this summer will be full of technology play. What did you do to have students micro blog? Was there a lesson that you used to teach them?

Hey Erin! Thanks for your comment. I have not actually done any mirco blogging with them yet but we have used the clickers where kids punch in using these remote devices. It is very controlled but the kids love using them. Shayne
