I am so excited to begin this journey towards technology! I am very curious on how to implement technology into my classroom, but more importantly, I want to flip my classroom completely. I know a few teachers who have done this. I know it is time consuming, but in the end, well worth it!
I have worked in a school where every student had an iPad. They were able to take them home, etc., allowing them to view notes and complete classwork. I do not know if I would call myself an "expert," but would love to help teachers learn how to begin using technology within the classroom. I know how scary it can be, especially with teachers who have students that have not had technology at their fingertips in a school setting. It can be overwhelming, but we need to realize, it is very beneficial.
Although I have used technology before, I would love to receive more ideas from my classmates on how to actually utilize the technology to its fullest extent. I have used My Big Campus before, which is a great tool. However, I am not the best at knowing how to create bundles and all of the extra things. I know how to post homework assignments and give quizzes, but would love to know more!

ReplyDeleteKatrina - Do you have access to a screencasting software from a company called TechSmith called "Camtasia"? It is the "Cadilac" of screencasting software. If that is too expensive for your building/district to purchase for you, they should find a similar version called "SnagIt" more affordable. If you're interested in flipping your classroom, you'll want to secure some kind of quality screencasting software.
