Wow! What a busy morning. I have been attending Pinncale XIX training with other Gaston County teachers this week and it has been a blast! We just spent the morning learning all about App Smashing and how to bring this method of integrating technology into instruction to YOU, our precious students. I just read an online article titled, "APP-SMASH: The BEN BLOOM FIST IN THE SAMR GLOVE." Basically, it is all about how educators purposefully select and combine APPS for the students to use, encouraging learners to move beyond the basic remembering and understanding level of the curriculm. Teachers need to think about how technology can be purposefully integrated into content instruction to best prepare students for their roles in the real world!
I am so excited to tell you that we will have a total fo 31 Chromebooks in the library in the fall and we are going to use them, plus a new iPad, to explore technology and combine learning with building your technology skills. I am going to be thinking about App Smashing and how best to teach you library and reading skills and 21st Century technology skills that will be just right for you!
Enjoy your summer, keep reading, and be ready to get back to blogging and book commercials in August!
