My schedule for the upcoming year
The teacher will be responsible for providing the curriculum for the projects and I will be the teacher support to assist with the technology intergration. I will send an email to each grade level asking what skill you would like to incorporate technology with. If you already know the tech you want to use, that is great! If not I will give you a couple of options we could do.
I do have some money to spend at TPT, so if you find Tech Projects/lessons that your grade level would like, please let know! I might be able to help!!!
All students will have google accounts at the Intermediate!!! This will help with saving the projects in google accounts or uploading to Class Dojo e-portfolio.
All ipads will have the Class Dojo app for students to login to their accounts. The students will be able to add projects, pictures, etc. taking place at school for their parents to see.
I will still maintain the ipads and carts. If there is an app that you are interested in adding, please let me know. Free apps are awesome!
You will still check out ipads/ chromebooks with Mrs. Mercer.
The apps that were used during ipad time last school year will be very helpful to the students in their projects.
Please share with me pictures of tech projects/lessons/activities that are taking place in your classes. This helps up prove why more devices are needed to support you and your students!
