Bonus Points for Listening...

Listening is always good. This week - it leads to brownie points.

Monday's presentations included a cool lesson plan on teaching children about railroads. She taught us about a neat, interactive website all about trains and railroads that would really get kids involved in railroad safety.

Also, we learned a lesson plan about chemistry. As science is not my strong area, it was cool to learn about a site that is made just for teachers. The website has premade lesson plans to guide teachers in the best way to teach this complex science subject to many different minds and students.

I had alot of fun presenting my lesson plan. My mock trial idea I thought would be fun, and it will help students remember the novel long after it has been shut.

Soooo overall, I think Monday's presentations were pretty informative.

Raising your voice...

While reviewing this week's assignment, I discovered a nifty new tool- voice threads.
I don't think it can be used in our lesson plan this week. However, I do plan on using This tool in my future classroom. I believe these threads are an excellent resource for student who require a more visual or audible form of education.
