GEA #2 - Quizziz

 


Youtube video link (click here)


I had the joy of combining two favorite elements that I use in my classroom. My students use Storyboard That to summarize things that we have read. They love to create the characters and scenes from our novels and short stories into Storyboard That. I created a storyboard about my other favorite thing, which is Quizziz. We use Quizziz all the time to practice grammar concepts, which would otherwise be very boring. How fun and exciting to use both in this assignment!

Welcome to my Blog

  Hi! Welcome to my blog. I have created this blog for my Technology for Leading and Learning class at USF. I have a lot to learn in the world of technology, so I am excited to have a platform to share my learning journey.  Many years ago I had a very successful blog with over 2,000 faithful followers. In that blog I wrote about my journey of mothering a medically fragile son. That blog was a platform for me to share information, but also to reflect on how my son's medical needs were making me grow and change as a mother. That blog platform was unfortunately shut down.  I am excited to try out blogging again. It has been ten years since I last blogged, so it will be interesting to see how things have evolved and changed.

Trends in Technology

                                   Trends in Technology      I did my Trends in Technology assignment on Generative AI. This topic interested me because it is something that is emerging and prevelent in my language arts classroom. This past week I collected essays from my middle school students that were supposed to be written using Writers' Workshop. I have AI detection in my writing program, and four students used AI to generate their essays. This is the first time my team has encountered this issue (or at least the first time we caught the culprits). We are now faced with the task of establishing an appropriate plan of action for when students use AI instead of engaging in the wrting process. We are also seeking ways we can incorporate AI into the writing process, such as by providing feedback to work generated by students. We have to move ahead with times. AI is in the forefront ...

Bitcoin Book

What a fun way to have students demonstrate knowledge on a topic. I was a bit frustrated with how many limitations my free subscription had. However, if a school invested in this program, it would have tremendous benefits for the students.  To be honest, I have heard the term "bitcoin" before, but I had no clue what it actually meant.  When I filed my taxes, one of the questions was about whether I had any virtual currency. The idea was so abstract to me. I am pleased to have a bit more knowledge about the topic now. It still feels abstract and vague, but at least I understand the securitiy of bitcoin and it allows me to be a bit more openminded about the concept of it.  That being said, I would never use it. I am very traditional person, and it is hard enough for me to use a debit card. Up until a year ago, I was paying for everything with cash. I prefer money to be tangible and the fact that there is absolutely nothing tangible about bitcoin is a huge deterrent for me. ...
