As part of my learning I have committed myself to blog at least twice a week on the lessons and the experiences that I encounter as a middle school social studies teacher.
Here is the first of edition to my thoughts and dreams as an educator. We are just finishing up week 5 of the 2012-2013 school year and the year is off to a new journey. I have always been interested in history and what the past has taught us and now I get to share this love with a group of middle school students. The students have made personal history projects and they are displayed in our room.
The MEAP is in full swing and the students are all on a varied schedule for one more week.
Teacher Tech classes will start on Thursday this week I have a class for 60-90 minutes every week to help teachers learn to use the technology that we have in our classroom. This week topic is our new green screen and ways to use it in the classroom. The picture above is the principal among the stars.
The students have loved learning to use the green screen and it will be wonderful for video presentations as well as reports.
I have new equipment in my class this year and am excited to learn to use it more effectively. I have an interactive white board, document camera and a teacher and student mobi. A mobi is a small interactive board that can be passed around for the students to answer from their desks onto the interactive white board.
