Comment on How the iPad has Changed My Game by Julia Howard

I wonder too what will come first, the chicken or the egg? Will the new technology have to be available for teaching methods (pedagogy) to change, or will a change in methodology lead to acquisition of new technology to accomodate it? I think the latter is the quicker route, because there are many teachers who won’t use the technology they do have, or use it very little. When the kids see others doing online global projects, using IPads, uploading digital media for products or presentations, etc, perhaps they will drive adults to provide the same for all?

It was not too bad to prepare, but I probably recorded each slide over at least once or twice, so that took time. I did the presentation in Google Docs, downloaded as PPT, and uploaded into VocieThread. All my voice comments and drawings were done in VoiceThread, so it was a very smooth and easy process. I’m really liking what VoiceThread is capable of, especially how the commenting works. Thanks for your feedback!

I love how you used Voicethread for your presentation. Did it take you long to prepare the presentation? What presentation software did you use? Did you use a screencasting tool or upload separate slides (jpg files) to Voicethread?

Comment on Teaching and Connecting with Students by Keri Miller

I am sorry that I didn’t respond to this before this morning’s tech committee meeting,but I just wanted to say that I thought the staff development day was great because it really did cause me to reflect on my current teaching practices and made me think about how to possibly modify them in order to embrace the “new” generation of students that are coming my way. As I said during the presentation on Friday, I see a different special ed student in terms of the factors that inhibit their ability to be successful in the general education classroom. I am seeing students who are distracted by the silence in the classroom and who perform better when there is background noise. I see students who perform better when they are presented with material using some type of media/technology rather than a handout or textbook. It’s very exciting to me because I see it as a challenge! I am ready to embrace this new generation of students and everything that comes with that! Thanks again for planning a great day!
