Technology Lesson Ideas

To be honest, I have had a little bit of trouble thinking of ideas that I could use technology with the lessons which my teacher and I have planned out to teach for the rest of this month. However, as I was contemplating further on the topic today, I was thinking that using a Photo Story could make a shared reading or read aloud a lot more exciting for the kids. I think that listening and watching the story could help the students to remember it better, as well as the fact that it is something a little different so that could be way fun for them. I think that doing a Photo Story is probably my best idea that I have so far. I would prepare the students for the Photo Story just like I would to read a book, introducing them to a comprehension strategy we are working on, and then we would listen and watch the Photo Story, and then afterward, we would discuss how the comprehension strategy worked in the Photo Story. My classroom has a computer projector available so the Photo Story would definitely be a feasible idea!

  1. this could work really well . . .


    another idea I got from another student might be to use audio recordings to show how reading a story with different intonations changes how we understand the story - to help them try to read with feeling.
