EDUC 515 1st Class

Whew!  It was so nice to have a face-to-face discussion!  I really enjoyed learning about Kahoot-it!  I can't wait to share this site with my co-workers.  I would like to learn about more sites like Kahoot-it in future classes.  Also websites, programs, or apps that are geared more toward little people (K-2) are an interest to me.  I really enjoyed tonight's class and look forward to tomorrows.

  1. K-2, wow. Those kids would eat my lunch. Check out my 10 educational websites. I think I posted a couple for elementary teachers. Check out tenmarks.com, It might not go as low as k-2 though.

  2. I love, love, love your blog and that cutie-patootie font! I loved Kahoot also! That was such fun, and I can definitely see how it could be used in the classroom for a variety of topics.

    I'm eager to learn what other cool sites and gadgets are out there and available to us.

    Oh, and for the record, I was THRILLED we all met in a real classroom last weekend too. WHEW!!!!

  4. Your blog is so pretty! If I work as a generalist teacher, I also want to work with the "little people" (K-2)! and desire to learn about educational technology that may engage them and make learning fun:-)

  5. I thought Kahoot was a lot of fun as well. I think kids enjoy when they can learn through playing a game. Who wouldn't want to play games instead of complete boring worksheets?

    I enjoyed having face-to-face discussions as well this weekend!

  7. Technology for little ones... very interesting. I share a concern that I have heard you express about developing their motor skills before we send them off on creating their own blogs. The search for balance continues...

  8. John, I agree fine motor skills may be a problem as well as development of writing skills. What about a blog for younger kids that incorporates drawings instead of writing. Students could draw about a story and then share it with parents and/or classmates. Just an idea!

  9. Balance seems to be a constant theme in this class. Of course, what aspect of life doesn't require balance? (Psst, they all do) :) But we shall press forward and continue to figure it out.....
