Lets Recap

Image
Recap has been a tool that I have been very pleased with. I have enjoyed being able to set up a journey for my students to follow as we go through our lessons. This is a short video of what we have done in my class.  What I have noticed is that my classroom level of discussion has grown by leaps and bounds. The students enjoy watching the videos and reading the articles which allows for great interaction and discussion with my students.  I stumbled upon recap at TCEA 2017  and I had the opportunity to Beta test this new version of Recap and it has been one of the most useful tools that I have used this year. 

Enhancing Lessons Through Technology

In my eleven years of teaching, I have seen education change significantly. I am always trying to find new ways to help my students by enhancing their learning. Recently, I have started using Bloxels for my science and social studies classes. This video game creator has been great in allowing my students to create, collaborate and learn. They design their own games that deal with the topics we are currently covering. This is an example of a food chain science game that was created.
