Science has always been a subject in which I struggle with. The funny thing is, my oldest daughters favorite subject is science. She actually plans on attending college next fall for environmental sciences. So just because I flounder in science, isn't it ironic my daughter may be a future scientist? Although science may not be my preference, I have always supported my children in their interests.
Each person in our class created Digital Me Projects. In the classrooms I have worked in, introductions and getting to know your students can be very important. Typically in the earlier grades, students complete an All About Me poster at home and then share the poster with the class. These posters remind me of the Digital Me Projects. Instead, each person chose a digital tool in which they would display information about themselves. This would be a great idea, especially if I presented to my students on the first day of school. Letting them learn about me helps build my rapport with my students.
Glogster, ThingLink, and Word Cloud were some of the digital tools my classmates used. The idea of Word Cloud is great. Some people chose really interesting shapes in which their words were displayed, such as apples since their goal is to become a teacher. I also enjoyed the Glogster displays. Since using these digital tools are new to me, I enjoy listening to my classmates describe the process. By listening to others, hopefully I will learn the technology myself. I will also practice more!
