I never knew how much I would learn from my own team members. I normally don’t like doing group work however this past group experience has been a good one. I am an elementary generalist and during my practicum I had a hard time teaching mathematics mainly because my teacher was glued to math worksheets. I also didn’t have a SmartBoard that functioned in my classroom so I felt like I missed out huge. This Showcase taught me a lot about a subject that I didn’t really get to teach my way plus I learned about the SmartBoard that I didn’t know before. I will most definitely use what I learned from my group members in my own classroom one day.
Comic Life is a wicked program that I REALLY want to use in my classroom. Newspapers and comics are great to create in the classroom because these are items that are in our everyday lives---great way to bring 21st century learning into the classroom
Webcam---take a pic of yourself and make it into a comic picture! ---this is great and engaging. I had no idea that you could do this in Comic Life.
A lot of children can’t express themselves using pen and paper. Comic Life is wondrous and will be a new world to particular students that feel the need to express them selves in such a way.
Picasa….finds pics and organizes nicely…I’m addicted to iphoto. Perhaps I will have to change it up and experience this new photo program and learn something new! Maybe I will even like this photo program more!
You capture the potential learning power of a collaborative group in this post!
