I've been using the Notebook software for several years and have become somewhat of a go-to person on my staff for newer users. There are many ways to make
Welcome! I am a Kodály inspired and Kodály aspiring music teacher. I aspire to create a environment of "Music for Everyone!", where children love to sing, play, move, create, read, write, and understand music! Here I will share my thoughts and experiences in the elementary music classroom. I hope to inspire others with ideas towards teaching children the joy and love of a life filled with music!

Yes, Pure exhaustion. We have been in school 9 whole days, and it feels like at least a month! Things I can tell you about my students: 1. They are absolute dolls. 2. They are asleep for the first 30 instructional minutes of the day. Hopefully their little bodies will adjust soon! 3. Their entry reading levels vary across 4 different grade levels. 4. They are an extremely compassionate group of children. 5. They L.O.V.E. the ipads. Every last one of them. (check out my next post for examples!) 6. They like to say "Mrs. King" no less than 3,000 times a day. 7. They are a very energetic and enthusiastic group of learners. I love my class. To make up for the complete lack of posts this week- due to my 8:00 p.m. bedtime, here is a big 'ole mess of pictures of what we have been doing! We have practiced what good readers do. Just to make sure we all understood, we practiced what good readers DON'T do as well! We began the groundwork for Literacy Centers and eventually Daily 5. Susan's fab unit! Cara's Blast off! Caitlin's Free Magnetic Letter Center As usual my bloggy buddies come to the rescue with great resources! I will be spending a lot of time with my Daily 5 book this weekend to decide what my mini-lessons this week should look like! By the end of the week we were doing two Math Work Stations in addition to our whole group math lesson. My absolute favorite time of the day! Reagan's too perfect Back to School Math Centers Motion Math's Wings (fabulous app) My favorite game to play on the SmartBoard Since I knocked out their DRAs in record-breaking speed, I was able to start guided reading groups! Ipads are so much help with follow up word work! This app is a free one- Magnetic Letters! My kids really enjoy it (clean-up is way easier as well!). AND by far my favorite and most daring venture yet this year pictured below. We always go on a Safari the first day of school to point out all the key places in the school and meet important people. Since our first grade theme is Jungle, we look for our names on jungle animals. The kindergarten students go on a hunt for gingerbread men! Well I figured- why not jump into this 1-to-1 business head first?? We took our ipads with us and documented our school through pictures. Next stop on the ipad journey- learning how to put these pictures into a presentation! Hope you enjoyed seeing my first full week in pictures!

There are many practical ways educators can move their students through the SAMR model (Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition) through technology integration, to extend learning, to meet the common core standards and develop lifelong learners. Examples will be shown for the K-5 classroom although this can be adapted for all grade levels. Are you ready to adjust your teaching for this new learning revolution? Why do we need the SAMR model? Why do we need to change the way we teach our kids? Check out this video below... The Voice of An Active Learner Why do we need to use technology with our students? Our World of Work is very tech infused Our students have access to technology all the time Creates a deeper level of learning It changes what we can do, and when and where we can do it! What have we really been preparing our kids for? Although that video is pretty funny, it is a reality of what are preparing our students for. This is why we need COMMON CORE: It Highlights the importance of using technology as a tool for learning! Common Core has many places for tech tools to be used to meet objectives! Great uses of Technology With Students: (based on the ISTE standards for students) (Make it) Use technology to show creativity (Say it) Use technology to communicate (Share it) Use technology to collaborate (Find it) Use technology to research to show information literacy (Solve it) Use technology to think critically, solve problems, or be decision makers (Use it) Use technology devices to improve learning (Protect it) Follow rules of digital citizenship Technology usage should be directly related to content in the classroom Students and the Teacher are actively engaged The Basics WHAT IS THIS SAMR model? More examples of how you can move up the SAMR model INTERACTIVE WEBSITES FOR ALL SUBJECT AREAS: http://interactivesites.weebly.com Now let's focus on some math tools...

So you've been given an interactive whiteboard (IWB) to use and you know you should be using as more than a simple projector or place to screen videos. The benefits of incorporating an IWB into your teaching are many: it allows you to create a bank of learning resources that can be used many times across multiple classes, you can replace some of your physical resources with digital versions so you don't lose them. Luckily, you don't need to re-write your curriculum.

An Apple a Day Is Great, But Teachers Really Want More Tech
If you haven't noticed, whilst I love technology and its propensity to enhance learning, for me it always has to be purposeful. I've written at some length about it previously but I thought a handy checklist might be, well... handy. So I made this. Please forgive the brevity of the post but hope that you
