Here we go! In less than a week I will be student teaching in a real classroom. The subject? Grade 10 Geography. So the question now is how do I incorporate all that I have learned in ICT class into my lessons. Well one way that I will be doing it is by using GIS as a mapping tool. I don't know a lot about the program yet, but luckily my cooperating teacher is practically an expert! I will be joining watching his GIS class and will also be joining the PD session that he in running. Hopefully when I come back I will be an expert as well! The room I will be teaching in is basically a computer lab so lucky for me I will be able to incorporate technology quite easily. Unfortunately the classroom doesn't have a smart board. There are so many cool uses for them and, when used properly, they can be a great teaching tool. Hopefully my next teaching placement will have a smart board so that I can learn how to effectively use it.
This week we have just been catching up on all of our projects, finishing our websites, thinking about the group project, and blogging as always.
When I get back from Student Teaching hopefully I will have lots of experiences to blog about.
Here is a video that we watched today about bad powerpoint presentations... I bet everyone who is reading this has made at least one of these errors... because what is the point of making a powerpoint without changing the background, and animating absolutely everything in it!! This is super funny!!!
*** This blog should have been published about 5 weeks ago but I'm still learning about this program and I forgot to publish it!! Oops!! :)
