Personalized Learning




Wow! I have so many ideas that I want to implement in my classroom next year.  I so wish that I could figure out how to implement blended learning in my classroom.  If only we had a device for all students, or were a bring your own device school.

I would love to create some multi media text sets, especially for my new science content for the upcoming school year.  I think giving students the resources to further research their current interests is such a powerful tool.  This shows students that things they do online is another way to learn, and not just watch funny videos on YouTube or play games all the time.

I also would love to set up a blog with my students to document our reading journey through the 40 Book Challenge.  I love the idea of the students writing a blog post each week instead of completing a Reading Response Journal entry.  This allows them more access to technology and the opportunity to become more familiar with it, including things like spelling/grammar check and formatting.

This is my first post!

Can you believe it.

Welcome to day 1 of summer 2016 and here I sit in a computer lab learning how to make a blog.
