Yesterday! and Beyond......

Congratulations! I was impressed with each and every one of your presentations yesterday. I appreciated:

• the depth and breadth of topics,
• the ways you gave voice to children,
• the support you gave them to learn and to teach each other,
• your efforts to help children learn to judge, with respect, their work and the work of others,
• your ongoing and honest reflection about how the projects succeeded or fell short, and
• your openness in sharing.

“Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.”
 Ryunosuke Satoro
Moving forward: We will grow and cultivate a new round of projects between now and the end of May.
Your next project need not be all consuming! Small is good.

• It could involve a select group of students you wish to observe and support.
• It could involve communication with another class, here in Groton or around the world (see www.epals.com I can set up free, safe, monitored email for your students.)
• It could involve association with a Groton teacher not in the EETT group whom you might support and plan with.
• You could join The Journey North (I tracked eagles through Canada and Sea turtles with my third grade classes one year.)
• One idea I heard this morning was about students sharing what their grade and class is like, with the audience being next year's students.

Please make a time to brainstorm and plan with me soon.
Tomorrow and Beyond!

Got New DNA?

Please take a couple minutes to watch the video below.
What changes do you want to make or continue developing in your teaching? What support might you need?

Technolgy Teacher Leader Reflection

Please reflect and then comment briefly about:

• Recent successes with students while using technology, especially individual student impacts or collaborative learning episodes
• Recent challenges

Notice One Student

During the next week, focus on observing just one student using technology as they work and learn.
What did you observe? (engagement, greater access to information, ability to learn new skills or practice old ones, confusion, etc.)
What are the next steps for that student? For you? And what does this imply for other students.

Learning Goals and Technology Plans

What is one way you have already used, or plan to use, technology to support your learning goals for students?
What assistance would you like?
