EXPECTATIONS AND INFORMATION
My ode to technology as best desribed by Kip from Napoleon Dynamite
CONSISTENCY is the KEY!
When we all have consistent expecations and procedures the effort towards a goal is easier to achieve.
Chromebooks are expected to be used everyday and thinking ahead can help map out our path. This means that the technology integration will be included in lesson plans.
We need consistent phrases, passwords, and procedures
CHROME IT UP!
Phrase meant to indicate to students to get chrome books open and ready
CHROME IT DOWN!
Phrase to indicate to students to close lids on chrome books and put aside
PASSWORDS
Passwords will use a common naming convention. Last name and last four of student id.
Example: Murphy1234
TACO TECHNOLOGY TUESDAY
In an effort to provide an opportunity to get together to highlight or showcase technology that can be used in the classroom in a welcoming and non-threatening way. We can present to one another technology or apps that you have found and want to show others. No one is an expert we are all learning. We will shoot for once a month meetings afterschool.
We are #outRHEAgeous
Remember teachers technology is just a tool. We can integrate technology to be a extension of student learning. It does not ever replace great teachers or their teaching. As we move and use technology we can't forget the social interactions between ourselves and our students. Also for them to learn how to interact with one another. Relationships and social skills are just as fundamental as higher level thinking skills.
