TIE 2

This course has at times been stressful, difficult and Oh My Goodness will I ever be able to do this! 

The process is done and Oh My Goodness what a GREAT LESSON it was! 
 I Invite you to watch it Full Screen
it is much better than the embedded size.




I learned so many new things during this process. I can use Google Docs, Blogs and Voice Thread with ease now. I really like them all. Technology is the way of the NOW and the FUTURE.
It amazed me that the students already new how to doodle. I had never heard of it.

What worked well? 
I think the entire lesson was a SUCCESS! But kind of disappointed that I did not figure out how to have the students doodle and voice respond at the same time. After I met with Dr. Elwood today, she told me it was possible. Well what do you know when I got home and tried again IT DOES! You just have to hit Ctrl and record and type at the same time. Wish my students could have done it that way. There is always Next Time.

What would I do different next time? 
Maybe adding the webcam or have the students make a movie from picture slides as I have done below. 

Enjoy the Show!
 Don't forget to check out the links in Tie ! if you want the Lesson Plan and Power Point


I also thought you might like to view the video clip I used as the Focus (Attention Getter). This clip was made by MGM Studios based on a book from 1963. The kids loved it!



I still have Questions on how to use this technology in the future, so help me out; leave me a comment.

 Here are some questions I have?

How could I have gotten peer to peer interaction in this type of lesson?
Would you take an assessment grade from a lesson of this type?
Could it be layered daily to take a summative assessment at the end of a unit?

Check out my Peers see what they are up to.
Leave them a Comment I did!
