Hello! Welcome to My World. As you can see, in "Computers as a Teachers Aide", I have learned how to integrate technology into my future classroom.
Review one scholarly article
The iPod is one of the great tools of new technology which offers new opportunities to increase the effectiveness of language teaching. Multilingual education is the major of my master study which leads me to pay attention to this topic. The article gave many fresh ideas regarding how to use an iPod to stimulate the potential for language acquisition to enhance educational lessons.
Outline
This is my ESL lesson outline. We practiced how to apply bullets and numbering in a daily classroom. The professor taught us the easy way to handle the numbering by using a shortcut: pressing the Tab key to go to the next sub-numbered outline and to press shift key+ Tab key to go back to the original numbered outline.
Example of Table of Contents
This skill is useful to do the research paper. I can update new information or make corrections anytime and it will not mess up the outline numbering. If anybody is interested, please follow the steps How to a create table of contents
Room Sign
I made a room sign by using clip art, word art, and borders and shading. I will stick it on the door while testing is in progress.
Resume
I used templates to create my professional resume. I am looking forward to applying it to my job interview.
Mail Merged
This is a letter I created for a special event at school. Using mail merged is a quick way to do this job. I just typed up the letter and mail merged it so that I can just add the names of students from my roster. You will finish your work in only 15 minutes.
Timeline- History of the Internet
We created a timeline to highlight the important events of the Internet history by using Microsoft Excel. It is a great idea to organize history with a timeline to help students absorb the information more easily.
10 Websites for ESL Students and Teachers
I built up a useful directory for ESL students and teachers. This is a wonderful resource where we can search from within subjects, topics, or grade levels. I will continue adding new websites that I would like to share with students.
Gradebook
This is an amazing tool for every teacher. It has a variety of functions such as calculating grades and attendances. We only need to key in general data each time, and we will get the average test scores or attendances automatically. We can also make bar graphs to compare averages. It is an easy way to keep track of students¡œ performances. If you create a grade book in the beginning of semester, you will save a lot of time and feel easier by the end. Just do it!
Bouncing Ball
Check out my Bouncing Ball! This is a new thing I have learned how to do. I will apply it to my Literature class to create my own animation to tell stories. It will stimulate and enhance the learning process
presentation
The iPod is not just for fun. I presented how to use iPod in Education. You should take a look. It will give you new ideas using new technology in classroom.
Newsletter
I created a monthly newsletter as a medium of communication with parents. It will let them know if anything comes up in school. I save a lot of time designing my newsletter by using Publisher, but my quality seems professional, doesn't it?
I really learned a lot in this course. I will take what I have learned and use it to enhance the teaching and learning process.
Thank you for visiting!
