Technolgy that will be used in class
Attention!! Students amd parents, in class we will use a number of technolgies to benfit us as teachers and students. Please look into the following applications that we will be using so you will be familair with how they work, Thank you.
Remind 101
Remind 101 is the first thing we will use in class. Remind 101 is a text message based way of communication between studnets parents and teachers. I will send out messages weekly of upcoming events, such as homework,test, and school events. This will allow us to all be on the same page and improve our communication in the classroom.
ScreenChop
ScreenChop will be one of our most vauable tools in class this year. We will use it in mostly in group work allowing children to form bonds. ScreenChop allows for non-trational learning which i have found to be the most effective way of learning. We will make videos, record vocies and take pictures of our procress throughout the year so that parents can enjoy the journey with us.
This year I will be trying a different method of communication. I will be using facebook to share photos of your children and show you the fun things we are doing in class. I hope that these photos bring joy to you, while it brings joy to me watching your students enjoy learning.
I am asked many questions throughout the year about how the school years is going, or how is my child doing. I am hoping that through this technolgy that i will be using you will be able to stay updated on your childs school year.
If you have any other questions throughout the year please feel free to contact me via email or phone.
Thank You
