Blog Post #11

For this post we had to watch "Little People, Big Potential" This is about Ms. Cassidy's first grade classroom. She is a teacher in Moose Jaws, Canada. She hasn't always used technology in her classroom it was about ten years ago when she started putting it in her classroom to see what students were able to do with it. Once she started used technology she used everything you could from blogging to skyping to using a Nintendo DS in her classroom as technology. The students would have access to the schools website wherever they went so if they wanted to show there parents what they have being doing in class they could with a simple log in.

 




In the interview with Ms. Cassidy "Part One about Technology" she tells how she got involved with technology. It all started ten years ago when she received five computer. Once she got the computer she had an idea to incorporate technology into her classroom which she wanted to do, but which the computers that she got she couldn't download any of the stuff that the students needed to teach kids about technology.  In Part two of the interview with Ms.Cassidy she talked about how you shouldincorperate technology into your classroom.

In the third video Ms. Cassidy was answering questions from Dr. Strange's students. In this interview she explained nothing was planned she went day by day if the students needed more time on something we'd stay on it longer and give them time to do it. She said one year one of the classes blogged everyday in class but another one just blogged every week it all is according to the class because every class is different.
