TPACK wk 11!

I will be using our classroom ELMO on Thursday to teach a literacy lesson. The topic is not final yet but I will be projecting a story for our writer's workshop activity. I will use the ELMO for my 'Think Aloud' time and to model what will be expected of the students during their writing time. The ELMO will make it so the students can all see clearly what I have written. I am excited to use the ELMO because I think they are very useful and fun!

Using the Smart board I would create a questionnaire over a concept that we have recently explored as a class. Smart boards have excellent participation features for the students. The students get instant feedback on their responses and it is a fun hands-on way to assess students. I would use this for a science lesson because I could have a lot of visuals to illustrate the concept.

I realized that their are not too many activities you can do in a classroom that is equipped with only a few computers. It would be really hard to keep all students engaged if they didn't have a computer.
But I have realized that their are a lot of indicators for every objective on the state core, which opens up many possibilities for teaching. I just need to understand the indicators more.
