I am feeling really good about the digital warehouse I am amassing. I sent out a school-wide email rwequesting worthy sites and within one minute had three sent to me. Within 10 minutes I had 15! I love learning new things, so researching websites has been not only informative and thought provoking, but also enjoyable. I don’t know if I will email the high school and elementary as the materials might not be age appropriate with being either too high or too low. Does anybody have suggestions on that? So far I have learned that there are so many resources on line that support not just education, but diverse education. I had no idea before two weeks ago of the scope of available sites that provide assistance for students who need extra support. So far I don't hve any modifications. What I have been doing is working out well. I look forward to haveing such a digital "bank" of webisites to use in my classroom lesson plans.
A question that has arisen for me is, do any of you have a district- wide technology etiquette policy that can be shared?
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI actually would email both of the schools as it would give you the opportunity to amass sites that could be used in the event you were differentiating lessons. You will run into students who are above where you are and who are below, this would give you viable resources for those students as well. I always try to get resources for all students and even if you are only using them for one student, that is one more than you had before. You may also run across information that you can develop or modify for you to use. I always say do not reinvent the wheel.....I just try to improve on it. Sounds like you are getting some great resources together for you to use in the future. Great job getting your GAME plan to work so well for you.
