How do you use technology to teach? What are your favorite teaching moments that utilize technology to teach and reach students?
Here are the rules - add 3 of your top TECH niques to this blog. Your top TECH niques must be unique - no repeats from other bloggers! So early birds have it easier than procrastinators.
What's in it for you? Well, if you participate, I'll add your name to the SMART Document Camera drawing at the Faculty meeting. Of course, you'll have the benefit of learning from your peers (without having to stay after school for a meeting)
Once this is complete, it will be published in a RAIDER article. It's time to let the Raider community know about the amazing technology talents of our LS Teachers. You Rock!
I'll comment first to get the blog rollin'

1. I truely believe that a picture is worth a thousand words. Photos from the LIFE and GOOGLE project are great additions to social studies lessons. By showcasing these photos by using the LCD projector - all students have a direct line of sight.
2. I don't think I will ever teach a lesson without showing the students how to complete the steps of the project on the SMART Board first. In the computer lab, I use the SMART Board regularly to provide students with verbal and visual instruction. My level of success increases drastically when I use the SMART Board. (last year when the bulb blew, it was like losing my teacher "mojo") (there's a million ways to use the SMART Board - so don't hesitate to share your favorite SMART Board TECHnique.)
3. OK - now I'm going to share something I WANT to use more - student narration. For young readers to record their voice and play it back is powerful. They can hear their affect, their pauses, their speed, and accuracy.
1. Though I am not in a classroom, I use excel on almost a daily basis to track information regarding students. This gives me easy access to the information you all provide and helps me help you.
2. The iGoogle homepage allows me to see my mail, calendar, and other useful information all in one place. How does this help student learning? It allows me to keep track of observations, testing, meetings, etc. so that I come to you when you expect me to be there.
3. Something I want to use more - SmartDocuments. If the information I have is correct, this will save all of us time and some amount of frustration as information can be compiled more quickly.
1. I love to use the SMART Board when I am teaching a geography lesson. We have been talking about the states that border Georgia and you can go and pull the states from the gallery. It is so much fun!
2. I also pull uf the math pages from Pearson Success on a daily basis. This is how we check our homework in the morning. It is way more fun than just reading out the answers.
3. I also use the Smart Board when we are working with graphic organizers. Our reading curriculum uses graphic organizers on a regular basis and the kids love to go up and fill them in.
1. I use the SMARTbaord as a center (we share it on the J DRIVE). I set up reading activites that are student lead. A small group of kids work together to finish the 'game'.
2. I have been working with the class on friendly letters. I used the handwriting paper in the gallery and actually wrote with them (it REALLY helped with the spacing).
3. There is an AWESOME game on my class website, STOP THE CLOCK. The kids LOVE it! It is a race against time to match digital clocks with analog ones. They are so engaged, it's not even funny!
