For the last two years, my job has consisted of working with
our 5-12 graders and their 1:1 devices. I set them up with emails, passwords,
and train them on how to use Canvas, our Learning Management System. I have
also worked with new teachers to train them on these same topics.
The other half of my job was working with K-4 students one
day a week when they came to the technology lab. In discussions after school
last year, we decided that this was a little outdated and we needed to up our
game in the technology field. Enter the mobile lab.
We purchased a class set of iPads, put them on a jumbo
charging cart, and decided the best way to integrate technology within the
curriculum was to send me into the classrooms to work with the teachers
directly. My job is to take what the teachers are teaching in their classrooms
and find some technology that integrates with what they are learning. Sometimes
it will just be using Word or Google Docs to type about a topic they are
learning in their classroom, while other days it will be using fun and
interactive apps to cover topics.
I will be updating my journey within the classrooms throughout
the year on my blog. They will be title iPads: Week __ so that you can check
them out if you’d like. I am hoping that some of the apps and ideas that I use
with my K-4 teachers will be useful to you in your classroom as well!
It’s going to be a GREAT school year!
