Welcome to… Technology You Can Use Next Week in Your Classrooms. With Nicholas Montei April 21, 2013
Why Technology in your classroom? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tahTKdEUAPk
To take a meter on their feelings, what’s going on in their life, etc.
As a review for what they’re learning… quizzes, tests, what’s going to be new today, etc.
The Technology We All have… • 83% of American adults own some kind of cell phone– Pew Research, 2011. • Half of all adult cell owners (51%) had used their phone at least once to get information they needed right away. One quarter (27%) said that they experienced a situation in the previous month in which they had trouble doing something because they did not have their phone at hand. – Pew Research, 2011.
Yet in our schools… • According to a July 2012 study, 56% of parents of children ages 8 to 12 have given their children a cell phone. The percentage goes up with age. Time for Kids, September 2012. • But Only 47% of schools allow their students to leave their cellphones on silent. The Journal of Technology Studies, “Cellphones in American Schools”

Video Conferencing brings the world to YOUR classroom… http://classroomvideoconferencing.weebly.com I recommend a 50 inch or bigger tv for classroom viewing as opposed to a projector.
Some Great Apps… • iMovie: Uses the iPad to create movies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhoaLAV8t6o • Book Creator: Digital Storytelling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhoaLAV8t6o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD4ggIokVWo • Polyframe: Photo Collage with text • iFontMaker: Allows you to create your own font using your finger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a6CNYbdhIM
And then there’s this… • QR reader: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSA3YsBy_pU&list=PLEC160E1EE3D31F96 • Or you could have your students create a piece of artwork or a story, then record your students talking about their artwork/story and post it on a web page. Attach that QR Code to the work in the hallway. Give your students time to hear other students talking about their work • There’s also this idea… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayW032sKtj8&list=PLEC160E1EE3D31F96&index=4 • Or for the younger grades, there’s this…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IY52fnG-c8 • And then there’s this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VPwzCF0zEI
