Students Response to the Use of Technology
This past week, C. Picha and I co-taught our integrated lesson to her fourth graders. The topic was anti-bullying and the project created at the end of the lesson was a poster relating to one of the four OLWEUS rules. The students were excited about creating a poster that was going to be displayed somewhere in the school, but when we explained that they would also be sharing their posters on voicethread, the enthusiasm was clearly visible on their faces and comments. Not only were they extremely motivated to get to started, they all created high quality posters and enjoyed writing scripts explaining their poster. This experience reaffirms why it is so important for educators to continue to find ways to integrate the use of technology into their daily lessons and activities.
