I really enjoyed this viedo,
I really enjoyed this viedo, teachers going outside the box. Taking students outside the classroom using tablet computers, obtained from a grant is an experience these students will never forget. These teachers are outstanding especially the teacher who uses a portable computer in the cafeteria to teach her students. This is leadership in the classroom.
Using technology across the curriculum
This video is great but the students seems bored
Students see technology as tools, not toys
Among the tools used the data projector on the whiteboard could be improved. The multi-tasking sensor provided a plethora of data quickly.
Mrs. Bourgeous was my
Mrs. Bourgeous was my teacher last year and we learned a little about this. We never went on a field trip though. But i think its awesome that these guys get to see what is going on instead of just hearing about it.
I think that the technology
I think that the technology given has granted students with the chance to educate their peers. They are able to make slide shows to present to the class. Clearfield is an amazing school something that most people do not see.
Applying technology across the curriculum
Great video. This is how all biology should be taught (scientific instruments, hands-on, in the field)
teaching
i like new ways of teachin because i beleaf that teacing does not mean classes at all, we can learn from any thing, anyone. ....
More authentic learning experience
This is wonderful! Kudos to Bonnie Bourgeous for getting this kind of technology into her classroom so her students can have a more authentic learning experience!
Tech in Real Life
This grant has been a great experience for Clearfield High. CHS is an older building but the students and faculty are superior and if equipped with the right tools can achieve amazing results. All three teachers highlighted in this clip are dedicated, hard-working and exceptional teachers who are using technology to continue to improve what they all ready do--and that is to be great teachers!!
Tech in Real Life--Clearfield High, Utah
This is really cool to see run down old Clearfield high school getting some technology.
When I went there, we had cardboard up in the windows during the winter because there was no glass.
