ReplyDeleteI did not inlcude the first two steps in mine that you did. That was smart, it was part of my planning process to discuss with my mentor, she even encouraged me to change my action research plan. So I should put those first steps in like yours:) Great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great start! Do you have any specific programs or websites to promote students creativity, fine-motor skills, language development, and collaborative planning between teachers? How will you compare this classroom's benefits to one without the technology? I don't know if a comparison is essential to your research evaluation, but if so, maybe it should be listed as a step. Keep up the great work! I am excited to follow your progress.
ReplyDeleteYes I have visited several website. I have gone to Do2Learn.com, Autismspeaks.com, brainsparklearning.com and teachtown.com just to name a few. The classes that are not receiving the technology are low functioning students so we are trying to incorporate a different type of technology that would be more conducive to their development. That decision was made by my principal.
