Blog 6- Remind

-

The Next technology I am going to talk about is Remind. This app was found in Dr. Wang's PPT. Remind is an app that allows teachers to communicate with students and parents easily. With Remind, teachers can send messages, announcements, and homework assignments directly to students' and parents' phones. This makes it easy for everyone to stay informed and up-to-date on what's happening in the classroom. Remind also allows teachers to schedule messages in advance, so they can plan out their communications ahead of time. The app is free to use and can be downloaded on both iOS and Android devices making it easy to use. Overall, Remind is a great tool for teachers who want to stay connected with their students and parents in a quick and efficient way. I can definitely see myself using this in the future to communicate with my students and families. I think this can connect back to the TLC framework for the communication stage. I think creating an open dialogue can help students feel more connected to their educators. In turn, this promotes teaching.

    Hi Maddi!
    I have used remind in high school a lot! I think this can be such a useful tool as a teacher to help remind students or teachers.

    Hi Maddi,
    Remind sounds like a useful app for staying in communication with students and families. I think this is something that I would be likely to use as a teacher. Good post!

    Hi Maddi! Remind sounds like a great app to use. I could really see this being useful in this day in age with emergencies, and just simply efficiency when trying to send home announcements. I know my mentor has fun announcements for events or themed days he sends home. But majority of the time, my students come to school the next day, with the paper still in their backpack. I think this way, we don't have to rely on young ones, being the messenger. We can simply do it ourselves.

Blog 5- Go Noodle

 Go Noodle is the next technology I am going to cover! This one can be found in Dr. Wang's PPT on the informational slide. Go Noodle is a website that provides fun and educational videos for kids. These videos are created to help kids stay active, learn new things, and have fun at the same time! The videos on Go Noodle cover a wide range of topics, from math and science to music and dance, and are suitable for students of all ages. This website is free to use and can even be used to aid in lesson planning or as supplementary materials in your own lesson plans. I think that this website is very easy to use and would be great for all ages. I think this could be not only used for learning but for incorporating brain breaks into the classroom. I could see myself using this tool in my future classroom. We recently discussed the SAMR framework. I think this could easily fit into the substitution category. I think that Go Noodle can be a substitute for Google in a way. When looking for ed

Blog 10- Star Fall

 For my next post, I will be talking about Starfall. Star Fall is an engaging and fun website with many games for children to play to practice different skills used in school. The skills range from math to reading. Starfall also has a variety of fun games relating to the seasons and Special days! I remember using Starfall when I was in elementary school, however, they have kept up to date on their program! Personally, I can see myself using this in my future classroom especially because it is easy to set up and use! This website does not even require accounts for the children or the teachers. I also find this tool to be versatile in the subjects it covers and the grades it caters to. I think Starfall would be a great technology to incorporate into the LAT lesson plan Framework. This could be a fun and engaging website to use to reinforce what is being taught in class! https://www.starfall.com/h/index-kindergarten.php?mg=k

Blog 11- Cool Math Games

 The next technology I want to talk about is cool math games. Cool Math Games is a website featuring games and puzzles for kids and teenagers. The games are designed to be educational and fun and cover a range of topics including math, logic, strategy, and more. I think that this is a very easy tool to use as it does not require any sort of account to use, however, there are games that some teachers might not see as educational. It is up to the students and the teacher to use this tool responsibly. I think Cool Math Ganes would be good for higher elementary school students. I think that this would be great for use in the TPACK framework when discussing technological knowledge in a lesson plan!  https://www.coolmathgames.com/1-number-games
