Integration of emergent technologies
The teacher integrates the technologies of education into their classroom practices to support and enrich the teaching, learning and evaluation of all students as well as to promote communication, collaboration, research and creation.
As part of competency 7, I present documents that demonstrate knowledge about the technological world and its appropriate use with students of different ages. This knowledge leads to enrich learning, motivate students and make the class more dynamic.
Blog Creation Workshop
Blogs are an innovative way of maintaining contact with students, creating a network for teachers or even keeping a public diary. Due to this, I participated of a professional workshop about the use of Blogs within the educational curriculum. We were taught about the correct usage of it, how to create it and the pros and cons of it.
New Doc 2018-10-31 10.44.52_1.pdfTechnology workshop:
- The College of Education provided the student teachers diverse workshops and conferences during the semester. One was about the diverse apps that can be used in classroom. The presenter taught us about a dozen of them, one of them was ClassDojo, the app that I implemented in my classroom and it has been AMAZING!
Class Dojo
The tool was created after hundreds of teachers were surveyed and reported that discipline management was their biggest challenge in the classroom. Class Dojo provides positive reinforcement and encouragement in the classroom instead of discipline and punishment. It has gone viral with tens of thousands of users in dozens of countries and is now available in several languages. It has evolved from a website to a mobile application that teachers, parents and students can easily access from anywhere.
- This has been an amazing tool in the classroom! I am always communicating with the parents and students, I am able to post reviews, reminders and special projects on the class story and the teacher tools are super useful.
Research at the library
Countries Research: Group Project
During the semester we have learned about various countries. Now we will apply all of our knowledge while writing and creating art. We will write about the six countries we learned about: China, Mexico, United States, Italy, France and Spain. We will compose PARAGRAPHS and create cardboard three- dimensional representations inspired on the traditions and customs of those countries.
- The students will research information in the library. They will search about their assigned country and focus on the topic they chose by brainstorming (As part of the pre-writing process of a paragraph).
- They must take notes and summarize.
Trivia Game (Select and download)
As part of my class, I created a Trivia Game to review the topic, this game has a song (with different sounds to maintain focus), tells the students if the answer is correct or not, and has different ways of assessing (multiple choice, true or false, identify). This is a fun and dynamic way of reviewing material and integrating the whole class.

The school is small with great goals and exceptional children. This follows an integrated curriculum created by the teachers, this curriculum has been very successful in the school. The school has several technological resources, such as: a "Smart Board" in the school library for the use of students under the supervision of a teacher, several computers in the school library, wireless internet, printer in classrooms, and more.
