Google Docs Reflection

I really believe that this class was great. I was able to look at how creative peoples ideas were. I thought in the beginning of the semester that this was going to be hard to incorporate in the classroom. After seeing how easy it was I really wish i could have done more of these lessons. I really look forward to student teaching in the fall. You can bet your money that I will use google docs for the rest of my teaching career.

Cause and Effect

Today I finished last lesson of the semester. Its been long and tough but now I'm glad its over. Since I was under a short amount of time I wanted to do a lesson that has a video that I am in. Kinda of like a blues clues/ Dora the explored idea.  This is the power point of myself asking student what they thought about what cause and effect really means. I also hit vocabulary words. The student really enjoyed the fact that  I was instructing them on the wall even though  I was right next to them. They loved the fact that I was also joking around with them.  Here is my Tie plan that I turned in to my professor. I hope this helps out anyone who is interested in doing a technology version of cause and effect. Props to Dr. Elwood for this great idea. Also I realized that my video would not play on the power point, so i added the video here.

Thoughts before my last lesson....

Im thinking about incorporating a video lesson with a google doc for my second grade class. I really want to make it simple and effective. At the same time I do not want to over simplify it. The lesson I want to do is over cause and effect. I also want to read question and have time for the students to answer them via computer.
