Tie Plan

Here is my Tie Plan

Voice Threads

Voice threads was something I found very useful in my workshop. The way I would like to implement it in my classroom is having the children break up into groups and have them hear themselves while they work out their questions or even maybe I can work out problems myself and they see how I work them out. It stills seems a little hard but i'm sure i can figure it out on my day off from field basing.

Google Docs

This past week was the first time that I saw how google docs work. I think its pretty amazing because its seems to be like an additional hard drive that you don't have to carry around. More importantly their are many things you can do with it. What I found pretty interesting is that our professor Dr. Elwood who uses google docs consistently finds new uses for it. I really look forward to working with this program inside my classroom.

Blog Entry 1

Using blogs can help students when working on certain subject areas that were taught that day or a few weeks back. The teachers' reflection on a subject can help students with understanding and comprehension. The student has to build on that with their own knowledge of the subject.
