I’d like to learn some new ideas for integrating technology into my class, specifically in ways that make my class more inclusive. Technology can provide opportunities to engage students in different ways and I want to become more comfortable with introducing more of this. I tend to lean on the same things (trying to using […]
Current Author Module: Technology & Tools
Learning Tech-Co-nect
This dream tool is like a Transformers of bygone days. LMS, DVR, back channel, active game module, polling tool- all the tools in one place. Students would access all the applications from one platform. Class could synch with the DVR for CC. Back channel for people that don’t want to say something in class and […]
My Dream Tech
A couple of things come to mind: 1) The perfect plagiarism checker. Now that we have bots that write like humans (scary!), I want a technology that can tell me absolutely for sure that a student didn’t procure a bit of writing from the internet. I had a high school student last semester use the […]
Zoom teaching success … NOT
One of my worst idea was to use my phone and my phone pad and pen to explain concepts to students in zoom. This was when we made the switch to virtual when the pandemic started. So I watched some youtube videos how math teachers used this in their classes, and I thought it was […]
Technology and me

I waited to post my goal for these two weeks until I was able to engage with some of the materials and see how others are approaching things. I think my main goal is to see if I can fall back in love (or like) with technologies and their use in and around the classroom. […]
Pop-Up Video
I am not a history teacher who uses a ton of films (Hollywood or documentary or whaty have you) in my classroom, but on the occasion I do, there is often a desire to interrupt the movie with tidbits of facts or commentary. For example when I teach the Civil War, I use the 1989 […]
Technology goals
In thinking about the goal(s) I had for myself while participating in this module I have decided that validation of my current technology choices is something I want(ed) to have. After reading a few of the articles as well as others comments, annotations, postings I do feel that what I use in my courses is […]
We are What We Breathe
Being mindful, breathe well
Remote Teaching
It seems like a cop-out, but I would have to identify the remote teaching between March and May 2020 as the worst experience with technology. That was a tricky time for a whole bunch of reasons: 1) The pandemic was legitimately frightening due to the scope of the lockdowns, my perceptions of the poor national […]
