Day Three

My experience with class management software: classdojo

Today we use the free online software called classdojo, which provide a platform where teachers and parents can interact with each other online. The design of the website is so cute that fit the children. Each child has his own head protrait on it and these icons are all lovely. Students can showcase and share their learning by adding photos and videos to their own portfolios. Through the software, parents can know how to guide their children do strengthen what they have learnt in class. In the near future,  I’ll record students performances and give them corresponding scores. And i’ll send messages to parents like the curriculum schedule and the daily arrangement in order to help them know the situation of children at any moment.

ISTE standars are standards for the use of technology in teaching and learning. The Classdojo is belong to the part of ISTE Standards for Educators. As educators, these standards will deepen theif practice, promote collaboration with peers, challenge them to rethink traditional approaches and prepare students to drive their own learning. Teachers disign and develop authentic learning and assessments incorporating contemporary tools , and the classdojo make good use of the desgining iedas.

 

Integrating electronic white board in classroom teaching

In the afternoon,we use the website called padlet. It provides people an online bulletin board to create their own stories. In my opinions, it’s just like Chinese Weibo or QQ space. I can put my daily photos and add my emtion labels above the photos. And you can choose the picture you like on  the interface and the background has many choices you can select. Each theme of the background is beautiful. The platform make students communicate with others even strangers. They share their happy or sad things happen in their daily life online  by padlet.

Padlet can be applied in teaching.The padlet is belong to the part of ISTE Standards for Educators. Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching adn learning , and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers should pay attention to students’ ability of creativity.  Padlet is a simple tool, but one that can accentuate the best teaching practices teachers employ on a day-to-day basis. For students, carefully posed questions will allow them to respond in many ways—which only helps classroom discussion.
