I looked at the website Geek Your Teaching. I was able to look through different aspects of using technology in our classrooms. I was able to explore these different sites and find information about them. One that I thought my middle schoolers would really enjoy is using MakeBeliefsComix.com. This is a site that allows students to create their own comic strips and to input their own words! I could have students create their own Spanish comic strips. This would let them do something fun and still use their knowledge of their new language.
Another website that I am really interested in is TerraClues. This is a website that allows students to search the internet for different clues like a scavenger hunt. This could let students explore different countries, sites, culture, etc. This is extremely important in my class because an important part to my curriculum is culture and diversity. This would let students explore and challenge themselves to find information.
I think that this website is really helpful and I am excited to try some of these new things in my classroom. I'm always looking for new things to try in my classroom and to incorporate technology.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the Geek Your Teaching site also. It had some great ideas I could use right away.
ReplyDeleteThe terraclues site sounds perfect for what you want to do...I will have to explore it to see how I could utilize it in my first grade classroom!
