Blog #4- Teaching with Technology

 



Lesson                 Canva

Above I have attached a link to my lesson plan and a link to the website we used in our lesson. While teaching this lesson in class, I experienced some challenges. The first challenge was teaching this to only one student as the others students hadn't arrived yet. This meant that the group discussion portion of the lesson didn't go as planned. Instead, Emily and I shared some of our traditions and participated in the discussion. We also had some troubles with the Smart Board as the video wouldn't go full screen and Canva didn't want to work. However, we instead used our computer to show the students Canva and also created our own Canva collages like the one I created above (Los Tres Reyes Magos).

It was helpful to be able to practice my lesson because I learnt about what I can do when technology isn't working. I also thought more about how cool it is that I get to learn about students traditions and how this would be a great activity to do at the beginning of school because I would get to learn about my students. I also got to learn about how to help students with Canva and explore new ways to use it.

Integrating ICT and Math

The Great Place Value Challenge Lesson Plan Above I have attached a link to my lesson plan that integrates Mathematics with ICT using a website called Scratch. This lesson is something that I can use in the classroom I am currently placed in. The children have been learning about place value and I think that they would really enjoy this game as another way to practice their learning. They really enjoying playing math board games but I haven't seen them play anything on a computer yet so this would be a fun way for them to try because it is low stakes. With this lesson, I could also move forward by teaching students how to use Scratch to create their own math games. This would be a fun way to integrate the computer science outcomes with math and ICT because students would learn more computer and coding skills, while being able to create a math game about any of the topics they've learned so far. They could then share their games with other students and it would give them all a c...
