March 22, 2011

I just finished talking to Manami and I am now creating a Prezi to use for my unit on To Kill a Mockingbird.  I am happy to gain some exposure to this as eventually I want my students to use this to present their independent reading books and eventually to present their research papers we'll be writing in April.  I want them to have a creative and innovative way to present their work and I am also hoping to film their presentations to post on my site.

I am excited about the further prospects of using technology in my classroom.  My students are currently completing blogs about their independent reading books, and at the end they will create a virtual conversation with the author to present their books to the class.  I am hoping to create a database of these conversations and videos to help suggest readings for other kids who are looking for a book to read.  It will help them gain confidence in their presentation skills and their familiarity with technology.
