Working as a tech integration specialist allows me to participate in some great lessons and on a good day I help the teachers find a fun and meaningful way to integrate technology into their class.
The Idea
This week in first grade we are learning about the coral reef ecosystem. The students had created their own coral reef animals, and in the past they had shared about their invented animals to the class. This year we wanted to make their sharing more sharable and I suggested a video. (This is our first year with iPads in elementary and sometimes I think "make a video" is my goto move for almost everything.)
In this case we had an opportunity to connect to another project in the school. The middle schoolers had created a crocheted coral reef a few years ago, and since the first graders had created coral reef animals it seemed natural to bring these two together.
