For Valentine's Day my husband bought me an amazing gift. It was a cord that allowed me to show what it on my iPad on my activboard. He was tired of me complaining about the air server dropping when I was trying to teach class. I love that cord, the kids loved it and we were using it every day. Today I was so excited to see our tech coach walk into my room with a little box in her hands. She brought me an Apple TV.
I feel so spoiled with all the technology in my classroom. My Promethean Board is still my hub, the iPads are where kids create and now with the Apple TV we will be sharing. Up until today, kids were sharing their youtube videos in a link to my email. Now my inbox thanks my tech person.
Right now the kids are sharing movies that they created on Cyber Bullying/Bullying. They knocked my socks off this morning. I saw true, emotional movies about the effects of bullying, sincere talks as to where students can turn if they are being bullied, best of all it was all student driven content. Being that this is delicate information, I am going to share their movies using QR codes on the bulletin board. Almost like a virtual film festival.
You are doing a great job getting the kids excited about technology. Congratulations!
