Blog Post #7

These days technology seems to run our social lives. With apps like Spotify, Skype, Facetime and many more we should never be bored again. Having apps like this outside of the classroom is fun. But, having apps like this inside the classroom is not only fun but extremely beneficial!
With audio recordings you can let your kids record themselves reading aloud so they can listen to themselves and see if there were errors. You can access library websites to get audio for the kids so that even on their own they can experience someone reading to them. Technology allows us to take learning to a new, fun level! It is important that we learn to use it properly so that we get the full use of it. Here are the sources I learned to utilize technology with:

QR Codes

iPad Reading Center

Poplet Reading Center

Library Center

In order to be a teacher we have to remain a student. We are all learners! We all have things we can learn from one another. There is always someone with the answer is the student. You should always encourage an environment of respect so that everyone gets a chance to show what they know. They just may know something you don't!

  1. I completely agree that we have to be continuous learners. We have to keep learning in order to provide our students with the best education possible. I really enjoyed the quote you posted. We have to be willing to listen as well as teach. As teachers, we have to dispel the thought that we know more than our students. We have to realize that we can learn as much from them as they can from us.
