CJP TTF

As I reflect back on the CJP TTF program I am so pleased with how far it has taken me.  I was limited with my computer use and did very minimal with it.  Yes, I know how to e mail, use facebook, print items and find different sights.  I also new how to copy and paste but that was about the extent of it.. Now I feel a little more comfortable in trying to press those keys that were making me nervous, trying new ideas. 

Through this course I have learned a few special programs which I am hoping to use with my classroom next year.  I would like to open my classroom within the first 2 weeks by having each student make a special wordle all about them.  I think they will have fun with this and be able to use it to learn about one another.  I would also like to use wordle at the end of units to show what we have learned.  These will be displayed within our classroom and hall ways of our school.

As I have recently learned, I will be moving up several grades and working with 5/6 graders whom I am sure will be more computer savvy then myself.  Having notebooks available for us to use on many days will help in the diversity of the learning styles and level of leaners, I will have in the classroom.

I  like  Rubicube and so glad I learned how to use this.  I think at the 5/6 grade level they are learning about rubrics and this will help with the few projects I would like them ot do partially in the classroom and at home. 

By using tech with this age group I am hoping for more successful outcome with homework and projects.  I know our students love technology and this hopefully will help in the Judaic aspect of their learning and make it more exciting for them to participate with.

Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to learn more and bring back to my community, mostly my students and school.
