So true. I had fun with excel. Even though I had worked in it before the refresher course was much appreciated. Now at the end of the term I won't be bogged down with calculating grades.
Additionally, I truly appreciate the information on downloading videos from youtube. I can now show lots of relevant videos to my students.
Eloise and Jacintha are pleased to be bloggers. Today, we learnt how to make a movie, how to use Excel to tally our students' grades and sort them from the highest academic achiever to the lowest or vice versa. We also learnt how to use mail merge and we also discovered that there free software websites that we can access in order to enhance our students' learning.
The session today was very informative...and as Tanya fore mentioned although the information were not relatively new..some of the the knowledge that were locked away in my mind were refreshed... Looking forward for tomorrow's session :-
Well I always knew about blogging, but never explored it. Now I have a new tool that I can use to communicate with my students and assign homework, even if I'm away from school.
we are being monitored. Technology exposes to both the positives and negatives of this world. Be mindful of the electronic trail that you leave behind.
Learned a wealth of information today about checking the credibility of websites to ensure that the content provided there is non-fiction as opposed to fiction :-)
Today was another exciting venture. Learned a lot about web sites and testing the credibility of these websites. Technology has its negatives and positives. One negative, is the fact that nothing is private. Also, technology requires much work and dedication as an educator.
Ladies today is the final day and I am excited to see what we have all created re: lesson plans integrating ICT. I hope to be challenged as I return to the classroom. My colleagues will definitely receive all the information we learnt these pass three days. I am encouraging us to continue this blog and share ideas, ask questions and generally give encouragement whenever the need arises. Have a Great Day!
Grade: 2 Subject: Science Topic: States of Matter Objectives: By the end of this lesson students should be able to: 1. Identify the states of matter 2. Describe the properties of state of matter. Prerequisite skills: Students know that matter exist in our environment. Process skills: Observing, viewing, communicating, classifying, manipulating Learning Processes: brainstorming, technology integration, cooperative learning. Materials: liquid soap, water, sanitizer, juice, bar of soap, marbles, paper, pen, balloon, air freshener. Introduction: Various materials will be placed around the class room for students to manipulate and describe. Next the objectives will be stated. Development: Students will watch video on “States of Matter”, (Makemegenius.com). Next, they will engage in discussions while making connections with what they viewed with the materials they manipulated in classroom. Then, they will sort materials around the classroom into the three states of matter. Students’ Evaluation: After this is done, the students will be placed into groups. Each group will be given an interactive chart with the headings Solids, Liquids and Gases. They will match the pictures under the correct heading. The teacher will monitor the progress of each group, providing assistance where necessary. Conclusion: Students will share their experience with the class orally on the topic.
Hi Anthea,
ReplyDeleteToday has been quite interesting, and although many of the things were not new it was a refresher course which jogged my long-term memory.
So true. I had fun with excel. Even though I had worked in it before the refresher course was much appreciated. Now at the end of the term I won't be bogged down with calculating grades.

ReplyDeleteRather interesting workshop. I am really enjoying myself and learning a lot of very useful things. I am especially enjoying the group work.
