Reflection Day 3

As I reflect on the work today I feel that sometimes it can seem a lot more work than it is and other times more work than I think it is. I found some new sites to use in working with my students this year. One would be plicker. It is a great source for a quick quiz and fun to use. I was able to add some things from pinterest to my board.

I used the application on my computer to create my flipped video and then put it on you-tube. I am going to be honest and say I was not crazy about putting it out there, but for the first one I have ever completed I will say it went okay. I think I will use it as a reteach tool in my classroom.

My lesson and student sample targets create. The students have to evaluate the details in the story they pick and then support the main idea. They are having to decide what the main idea is and why. I wanted the students to be able to take some ownership in what they were creating and I think that being able to pick their own story and use technology to show their understanding of the main idea is important. It shows the students that using technology can move their thinking to the next level.
