Principal Walder's Monday Memo
For the week of January 27
Using Technology to Enhance the Classroom
Thank you for all you do! It's a great day to be a Titan!
PLC Objectives This Week:
This week's PLC is a follow up from our first- semester PLC where we discussed the use of technology across your grade. We also discussed where we were on Bloom's Digital Technology. This week, we are going to do the same and discuss what has worked well and what type of technology we are also looking forward to using in the future as well.
At the end of the PLC this week,
- Review the District-wide Elementary Field Trip Documents.
- Review the TED Talk from Kayla Delzer.
- Review the current use of Technology Integration in the classroom.
- Review the Technology Expectations for your grade level.
Discussion Questions for PLC this Week:
- How does technology enhance our student's learning in each of the following subjects?
- ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Art
- What technology or technology applications have you heard of or you would like to try?
- Where do you go for technology integration ideas?
- Are the Technology Expectations meeting the needs for your grade level?
