Professional Development Goals
1. One of the goals I have is to be able to effectively use technology within the classroom to enhance learning for my students. I will know I have completed this goal when I am able to have a bundle of resources gathered to use within the classroom at my and my student's disposal. 2. Another goal of mine was to be able to effectively rely information to my student's through means of Instructional Video. I will know I have completed this goal when I am able to know exactly what tools I need to make this video and when I am able to confidently make a video using these tools. 3. My last goal is to be able to connect with other classes around the world in order to gain skills in communicating in the English Language. I will know I have completed this goal when I am able to successfully find a resource that can help me find how to set up a Mystery Skype date. |
Evidence of These Goals
1. I have completed this goal by effectively gathering resources to use within the classroom. My Symabloo Webmix holds different technological tools and websites that both I and my Students can attain, and can help us both when it comes to finding different ways we can collaborate and use technology within the classroom, ranging from Socrative to Woordle, and from Prezi to Kahoot.it, here is a link to my Symbaloo page.
2. I have completed this goal by finding the tool Screencast O'Matic and using that to help me create an instructional video on how to use DuoLingo. I think this is a really effective tool to have in order to help students outside of the classroom, and I love how accessible it is to all students. Here is the page where you can find my Instructional video. 3. I have successfully accomplished my goal by doing research on how to find another classroom to have a Mystery Skype date with. This website explains how using technology, like Twitter, is a great way to network your interest. Being able to do this will really help my students, and another classroom, be able to connect when on normal circumstances they would not have been able to.
