If anyone wants to tell me about the class on Wendnesday, that would be great!!
9 Days till student teaching and I'm feeling a lot more confident in using ICT/ Internet in my classroom. These are skills that I am going to try and incorporate into my lesson plans as much as possible, as I feel the students will truly enjoy them!
I am teaching Grade 8 English and Grade 5-8 Phys. Ed. during this placement at MacGregor Middle School.
Phys.Ed= very comfortable English= not so comfortable
In my English class I am going to try and get on the computers as much as possible! Like I stated in previous blogs, I am teaching a current events unit. I think this unit will allow me to use the computers a lot as I am going to have students blogging about current events and issues. By allowing them to blog I can see what my students are thinking about current events happening in the world. I also like that fact that other students can comment on their peers blogs with their own opinions! This is going to allow for a lot of discussion in my classroom, which is what I am hoping for!
Does anyone else have any good ideas for my current events unit?
I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did during this class! I wish everyone good luck on their student teaching placements... and their teaching careers!
GO CANADA!!!! WOO WOO!!
Hey Danni!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear you are going to incorporate blogging into your student teaching placement! I think your students will really like it. A current event that your students may like would be the Olympics... even though they are done they are still a topic that would interest the students. Maybe you could do something with them?
hey dani, i really think that bloging is a great way for students to voice thier own opinions, i like that u are going to use this in class. i agree that i too am becoming more and more confident using ICT in the classroom, smart boards and blogs are a great way to get students to learn and interact with others in the class.
