Above+and+Beyond

Interactive White Board page- On this page I have explained how I used a SMART board in front of a class! (Bonus!) I have also explained how I taught my sister, who is a special education teacher in Brookfield, to use a SMART board.

iPads and Mobile devices page- Although this was an optional area for exploration, I went ahead and explored! I posted some articles/videos about teachers using ipads and mobile devices in the classroom. I also provided some links to different websites that involve using iPads or mobile devices. I don't personally own an iPad but my mom has one at home. I played around with her iPad showing her several cool things that we have learned about in this class. I showed her the Voki tool that we used. She thought this was a cool feature. On this page, I posted some extra vokis. I even used my cell phone to call in a recorded Voki. This was cool!

QR Codes- I downloaded a QR code reader onto my phone. I also helped my mom and dad download QR code readers onto their phone. Although they don't think they are as cool as I do, They have used them a couple times! I now scan QR codes where ever I go! Most common place that I see them now, is in Reeve Union on the back of the Pepsi cups!!

Communication Tools- Although it was optional, on this page I went ahead and described an activity that I could do that would involve my students to use Skype for an educational purpose. Another optional component that I included on this page was my description of how I now use Team Viewer with my mom when she can't figure out how to use her Facebook or Pinterest.

Podcasts and Audio Files- On this page, I included an additional article that relates to podcasting.

Movies- On this page, I included an additional that relates to the use of movies in the classroom (Animoto)
