Wesley Emlet replied to Melissa V's discussion How do you include all students?"Do you have a set of Smart Responses? This is an easy way to use technology and receive instant feedback from all students. If you don't, some recommendations would be to play 4 corners. It gets students out of their seats and also…"

Wesley Emlet replied to Tina Dahlby's discussion What would you do with a $20,000 grant for technology?"I personally think that if you don't have projectors and document cameras in each classroom you need to start there.

The big state test is complete and shipped out of the building. Spring break has come and gone. Now what?! Obviously there is curriculum that still needs to be covered but I'm wondering what some of you do to keep your students motivated and interested during the last marking period. I'm on the tail end of a 10 day break and I'm trying to stay motivated myself! Do you do anything "post testing" that you can't do when you are spending months preparing your students? I'm just looking for some…See More

Wesley Emlet posted a discussionPersonal Computing Devices
Does your school or district allow you to connect personal devices to their wireless network? If so, how do you feel about allowing your students to use your personal devices? My district doesn't allow for personal devices to be connected to their network however I still allow my students to use my iPad for the educational apps that I download at home. If they break my device I'm out of luck but I still feel it's worth the risk because of the great apps that available for learning. Your…See More
Wesley Emlet replied to Yarbhill Woman's discussion Using Personal Computing Devices in School"I personally wish that my district would implement something like this only because of the lack of networked devices in my own classroom.
