TTF Reflections

This Technology fellowship has been extremely beneficial to not only our learning within the classroom, but has expanded the way we as teachers utilize the technology within the class as well.

Throughout the year, we used the technology in the classroom with the 5th,6th, and High School students, and created a variety of different projects. By gaining a basic knowledge of the apps such as Tellagami, Greenscreen, Explain Everything, etc we were able to have students participate in a collaborative, hands on learning environment. The students worked to create Tellagami projects based on a location of their choosing in Israel, as well as creating Imovies and informational videos on an innovation in Israel. While this was a learning experience for both the teacher (myself), and the students, I think that the outcome was positive.

I think that in today's world, students are becoming more familiar with technology. I think that this course helped us gain insight and recognition of the different tools and learning modules that are available for use in the classroom. I would like to continue to learn and grow by using the apps within the classroom, as well as educating other teachers in the religious school the best way to use the technology. I also feel that because of the knowledge of the students in using technology, we as educators need to work alongside the students, and realize that we may learn from them as well!
