Excellent in demonstrating ways to integrate technology in the classroom and ways to incorporate authentic assessment.

Video clip

I believe this video is excellent. I think it provided great ideas demonstrating several levels of students all working together to produce a morning opening. I think this is an excellent method of learning. Younger students learn from the example of others. In addtion, I think it is an excellent example of project based learning and using technology. I genuinely enjoyed watching it.

1. Describe your initial reactions or thoughts as you watched this video.
I thought the video was interesting. The male teacher used simple lesson plans but incorporated whatever he could using the technology available. The students are learning, they are actively engaged, and they appear to be having fun.

2. What did you learn about technology integration from this video?
I learned that all subjects can be integrated using technology.

3. What did you learn about pedagogy (the art of teaching) from this video?
I learned that the teachers were patient and did exclude anyone from learning.

4. Do you think these types of projects are possible for you and your students? Why or why not?
I think that all subjects are possible using the new technology. Teachers just need to get use to using it or integrating it.

I just finished a project with my students on interviewing family members and then the students orally presented the students. I really like the ideas of incorportating technology into the project. What a great way to start the day. With a news broadcast.

Hawaiian Students and Tech

Loved it. What a great way to build community!
I do not have a forum for students to do that so my 7th and 8th grade students do morning announcements over the intercom. But we might be able to do this using all of computers on a Blackboard or tech forum...well maybe we could.
