Technology Videos

After watching the following films: I love Spiders (5:16 min), Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? (5:52 min) and Habitats (4:38 min), I learned the technology not only a great idea, but it is actually doable. I loved watching the internet communication from the spider clip. Watching the students connect with another class in another state added so much more meaning to the children in both classes. It connected social studies with science and computer technology. This integration has been taught in our class, but it was helpful to see it actually implemented. It was a relief to see that using technology is actually feasible. From Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? I learned that even without the best technology, students can still have meaningful experiences. Mrs. Davis’ story extensions were not only great ideas, but again, she was able to follow through with her plans in making story extensions with Brown Bear Brown Bear. Habitats was a wonderful way to again enhance curriculum with a doable project. She was able to teach not only curriculum, but taking advantage of the specialist, she taught many computer lessons, and even an ethics lesson.
