TIE Blog One

The planning for my upcoming lesson involving math and the numbers "8, 9, 10" is making progress. I know I will allow students to take turns using the two computers in my classroom during their workstations to complete the voicethread assignment. I am still working on how the voicethread will be utilized in successfully teaching the objective. I am hoping to learn more about it myself so that I can create an effective voicethread for my students.

TIE Lesson Ideas

I'm in communication with my CT. My tentative date to do my TIE lesson is on Thursday, November 10th. As of right now I'm planning on the subject being math. The objective is unknown at this time, but I know it will involve learning the numbers "8,9,10". I look forward to integrating technology into this upcoming lesson!

Weather lesson plan

Here is a voice thread I created to incorporate in my weather lesson plan. The lesson is for kindergarten students. They will learn how to report the weather for the day by looking outside our classroom window, make predictions about the weather, and describe different weather conditions. The voice thread allows them to visualize different types of weather such as sunny, rainy, cloudy, and snowy. The student will look at a picture and "report the weather" by identifying what type of weather it is and provide their reasoning. I will check for understanding by the student sharing what led them to believe it was either sunny, rainy, cloud, or snowy.

Sample voice thread

 Here is my sample voice thread I created. It is a writing activity for students to do. It allows them to share about their last birthday celebration!

Workshop 1.3 Activity

Here is a voice thread about "Picture Writing". It contains student's illustrations and poems that describe weather. They collaboratively created a voice thread that teaches about all types of weather. A viewer can learn about rain, lightning, snow, and wind. It's fun and informative to read and listen to.The Affordance and Pedagogical Implication is provided for more information.

I am looking forward to having a blog to share and exchange ideas.  I believe this is an awesome tool to allow me to communicate with educators as well as other professionals.  I hope this will also be helpful to others as we continue our journey to becoming educators.
