Today was Digital Learning Day and in Ohio we had a snow day. So much for being able to be digital all day at school. But that is ok...every day in my classroom can be digital learning day. Earlier this week we had to make blizzard bags for our students. In math class, my students were going to use the ShowMe app with their iPad to record themselves solving equations. Not bad for a group of kids who in 6th grade struggle with adding and subtracting. Other classes had similar projects where I forced them to create.
When I came back from OETC I decided that the bulletin board in my hallway was BORING. It is in the process of being transformed into an interactive digital bulletin board. The plan is to highlight an app (either one on our devices currently or a new one) complete with a QR code link to it in the itunes store. This week was ShowMe and the reviews are the ones from my actual students. I also started a sister blog to this one, where I plan to have guests (students) blog about something technology based. Last week I put 5 QR codes on the wall for my iPad class, a few different presentation tools. I didn't have a chance to take them down between periods, what I noticed is that others students were coming up and grabbing the codes. I hope that the teachers in the building see some amazing presentations because of this.
Awesome job again!
