Pulaski High School Hub (Library) Introduction and Pic Collage

Last year, the civics teachers, Mr. Nickerson and Mrs. McCumber, had the students complete a black and white map labeling the areas of the library.  This year, with the help of Pic Collage on the iPad, creates an authentic picture of the areas in the library with pictures of the students.

Check it out actual video footage and reflection from Mrs. McCumber!

Co-Teaching in Calculus Free Graphing Calculator App

Today, I co-taught with the calculus teacher transforming of trigonometry functions.  I simply introduced the equation, keyboard, and graphing features of the Free Graphing Calculator app while the content teacher taught the specific details of the concept.

During the first class, I performed most of the iPad functions.  During the second class the content teacher proceeded with most of the iPad functions.  Now, he can use the iPads with the graphing calculator app without me being present in the room.

It was truly a fantastic co-teaching experience.

Twitter Set Up

Today was my first day co-teaching.  I was responsible for the tech tool set up, Twitter, while the content teacher was responsible for content.  Students will be using Twitter as a writing tool for using correct grammar.  It was wonderful to have another teacher in the room so that we could answer all of the tech questions when students had them.  AND the students had questions.

I also decided that a Pulaski Tech Integration blog would be helpful for me to incorporate the tech tools with students.  Read about how the lesson progressed.

Not everything went perfectly, but the teacher was fantastic, the students were engaged, and the process of using Twitter as a grammar tool will be interesting to follow.
