Emaze

I was Emaze by the presentation software and how quickly my students caught onto it.
They are currently using their research information from the Roanake Islands and the Lost Colony.  They went under the tab of Education and picked one of the 4 newspaper presentations.
We discussed why one of them was not the best one to use.

 I am going back this week to finish up in small groups.  I am looking forward to seeing their finished projects.  I will post some links to their presentations when they are done.  But for now, check out the simple directions on how to set up your own account and how to get started.

Plickers!

Oh, My GOSH!
This is the greatest new way to do a formative assessment on your students.
It is great to use with Learning Focus Math lessons.

I was recently introduced to this at a conference that I presented at.  When they showed it to me, I feel in love with it and knew that I had to go back and immediately share it with my teachers.

I recently shared it with my teachers at a staff meeting.  Plickers is a free app that you can download on your iPad, iPhone or on your google play device that has a camera.  You can set up as many classes as you want on your device to do formative assessments on your students.
You can assign each of your students a permenant card so that you can track data on them.  This app allows you to use the camera on your device to scan your classroom and the cards that your audience is holding up. It immediately tells you how many of each letter you have in order to let you know whether or not your students have mastered or understand your essential question, math question or your problem for the day.

South Harnett Elementary School

This is the school that I work at.  I have been the technology facilitator at this school now for three years.

We are currently working on becoming a Leader in Me School.  A Leader in Me School is a school that implements Steven Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective Kids.  We are trying to teach our students to be leaders of tomorrow.
