Shaping Tech for the Classroom | Edutopia

"I suggest that every lesson plan, every class, every school, every school district, and every state ought to try something new and then report to all of us what works and what doesn't; after all, we do have the Internet."

teaching edutopia edtech integration

  • First, consult the students. They are far ahead of their educators in terms of taking advantage of digital technology and using it to their advantage. We cannot, no matter how hard we try or how smart we are (or think we are), invent the future education of our children for them. The only way to move forward effectively is to combine what they know about technology with what we know and require about education. Sadly, in most cases, no one asks for their opinion. I go to conference after conference on school technology, and nary a student is in sight. I do hope that, after having pointed this situation out a hundred times or so, I will find that it is starting to change. Students will have to help, and we will have to think harder about how to make this happen.

Attention Signals - Call and Response - Ideas for Teaching, Resources for Lesson Plans, and Activities for Unit Planning

  • I just learned a new attention signal this weekend, called "Class-Yes." When you say "class", the kids say "yes." However you say "class," that's how they say "yes." So if you say "classity-class!" they say "yessity-yes!"
  • I like to do call and responses that go with books:

    Chicka Chicka.... Boom boom!

    And the bear.... snores on

    King Bidgood's in the bathtub .... and he won't get out

    I typically just pick ones that were well recieved read alouds. I change it up about monthly or every other month, or else it wears off.
