Pete's power point is awesome, I have found so many great lessons to use. I loved how easy it was to set up google docs, power points to save time! Digital Media is able to make teaching more versatile, transformable, marked, and networked. Digital media is very flexible and simple to use so that we can meet the needs of all learners.

I am going to introduce delicious to co-workers so we can collaborate on interactive sites.

Initiate an interactive word of the day from vocabahead

I plan on creating a wordle based on adjectives and thoughts on characters from selected stories, and then show how it turns out, allowing all students to see it. I'm also definitely going to implement tumblebooks into my daily routine, following morning work in order for students to visually see the words while having the text spoken aloud on the promethean board. Students will then have a couple of questions to answer as per guided practice and reinforcement/fluency.

Set up a my delicious with my teammates.

** __ Digital Book Lesson __ ** ** __ Subject __ **__ : __ Grade 3, Reading, Digital Book from Tumblebooks ** __ Objective: __ ** To incorporate technology into the classroom using a digital book, focusing on having students listen and read silently while words are highlighted, gaining fluency and listening to tone of voice when reading aloud. ** __ Materials: __ ** // Tumblebooks, computer, speakers, overhead projector // ** __ Procedures: __ ** Go to tumblebooks.com and select the story __Enemy Pie.__ Play for students, having them listen to the story as it reads it aloud for them. Students should be reading the story silently, listening to how the story is read and the way they read with enthusiasm. While story is going, students will be making at least one prediction, one inference, and one connection to the story. Students will also provide three reasons why bullying is not acceptable, and ways to avoid bullies and what they should do if they encounter a bully. ** __ Extensions: __ ** Once story is finished, play interactive quiz. Call on random students to come up to the front and use the promethean board, using the promethean pen to answer the correct questions. Students can maintain a digital P.I.C. in their journals every time they listen to a digital book (Predictions, Inferences, Connections).

UDL: Audio Book for students who are hearing imparied, visually on the Promethean Board for students who can't see as well, and those that aren't as fluent are able to listen and read along, giving them the opportunity to gain fluency as well as practice reading with inflection and enthusiasm.
