I am now three weeks into my second practice teaching experience, and so far its been awesome. I am very lucky to be working with an amazing associate and I am getting tons of support and excellent feedback. I am teaching two courses that I am absolutely in love with and my students have been producing some really great work. Practicums are a time to try new things. I have been so fortunate to be able to use so many amazing technologies in my classroom and I think the students have really enjoyed it as well. Polleverywhere, what an amazing tool for the classroom. You put up a question or a statement and students vote or comment (anonymously) allowing you to create an incredible diagnostic assessment in seconds.
These polls were from a Human Rights course discussing the Holocaust and the grade 10 History course from a lesson on propaganda.
Another awesome tool I have started using is Bitstrips, which I blogged about several months ago. I showed this to my grade 12s and I have never seen a class ask to do an assignment. They are creating comics based on the UN Declaration of Human Rights.
Tomorrow I am going to try my first digital storytelling in the classroom and I hope it goes well.
I cannot believe that tomorrow I will start my final week and then its just two months till I graduate and become a full fledged teacher. This experience has been truly incredible and I cannot wait to get back into the classroom.
