Techforlearning

I will start teaching with laptops this fall. I am excited to change from stationary seating. That is the first thing that pops into my head of why I am excited. I will be able to give students the opportunity to work collaboratively with different people. I am going to strive to make that happen this year. It will allow for a lot more audio recording for students because of their ability to move. I am going to use student recording/teaching with audio in different ways this year to help to with the comprehension of vocabulary, ” pass the mike” discussion, ” and podcasting for starters. Any others ideas for using mics and audio in class, comment away.

Students in my classes have always been able to learn using technology. It changes now though because of the mobility they will have. My classes have always had the benefit (sort of) of a “one to one” classroom, except that they can’t take the computers home and have them in all their classes. Ok, so there is still a big difference. I really want to take the opportunity and have students become aware of their learning and all that “one to one” computing can do by differentiating instruction. I will keep you posted on how it is going by posting my wireless lessons.
