Technology Integration

A brief sample of technology utilized regularly in the classroom:

Promethean Board: Used daily as a means of presentation as well as integration for formative learning.

Movie Production (MovieMaker or Photostory): Students create movies for lab reports, as part of jigsawing instruction and for unit reviews.

Edublogger: Students maintain daily summary of the class. Also used to report "Chemistry in the News." Both of these are efforts to incorporate writing across the curriculum.

Blackboard: Utilized as a instructional delivery system and test portal. Wimba virtual classroom also utilized for after school "office hours."

Wikispaces: Used both as a collaboration space for projects and as a resource page for honors chemistry (see sidebar link).

Yodio: Utilized by students to visually and orally present a solution to a problem.

Inspiration: Students create mindmaps of vocabulary terms at the conclusion of each chapter.

Objective

I am currently a high school chemistry teacher and a doctoral student with a focus in professional development, online learning and K-12 technology integration. Having been on the student end of online learning for my Master's program and now further investigating the theory and techniques behind educational technology, I am interested in pursuing a focus on professional development relating to teacher education and technology integration or blended learning environments for students.
