Embedded Files
In my classroom, I see technology as a tool to enhance student learning. Through interactive apps, adaptive platforms, and collaborative tools, I create engaging, personalized lessons that meet the diverse needs of my students. Technology, when thoughtfully integrated, supports learning by fostering creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration—always aiming to deepen understanding and never take away from it. Below are examples of technology lessons I've designed to demonstrate how I integrate these tools to support and enrich student learning.
Formative Activity
This activity for kindergarten students supports learning of standard RF.K.2.d - to isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel and final sounds in three phoneme (CVC) words. The student is shown an image of a familiar object (dog) and it is followed by a blank space and then two letters. The student then uses the image to find the missing letter. The student selects appropriate answer to show their thinking. The teacher can use the results to see the students understanding of phonemes to help guide future teaching.
Padlet Activity
This activity is designed for first grade students. This activity will help a teacher understand a student's thinking and learn about their prior knowledge and experiences. The student will think of books they are familiar with and list one they liked, one they did not like, and one they want to read. The standard that supports the learning in this activity is EEW.1.1. Select a book and use drawing, dictating, or writing to state an opinion about it. The teacher can use this information to guide future teaching and learning for the student. By understanding the likes and dislikes of a student the teacher can use this knowledge to create content that will be engaging for the student.
Seesaw Activity
This activity is aligned with kindergarten math standard K.CC.3 - Write numbers from 0-20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects), and K.CC.4 - Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities, connect counting to cardinality. Students can use rote counting or count the dots below the number to solve for the missing number in the sequence. The child then can show cardinality by writing the number on the line (blank space). This will allow the teacher to assess the student's knowledge of cardinality, one-to-one correspondence, counting sequence, and ability to write the numeral which will guide future learning for the student.
