Field Experience

1.) Sat down with five Social Studies teachers to tutor them through EaseHistory. Two of them were already familiar with it, but I helped the other three. After I explained the websites purpose and all of its functions, they loved me for introducing them to it. They were especially pleased with the "Learning Guides" that the site provides!

2.) I sat in on a biology teacher's class. He has mastered teaching the special education students and he incorporates a lot of technology, so I wanted to observe his class. It was great to see his pace and control, as well as the constant engagement of his students. He uses a lot of internet sites in his lessons.

3.) I proposed a grant for the High School science department to get a cordless mouse for each room to compliment the SMART Boards already present. I believe the mouse will allow teachers the freedom to roam around and interact with the students more, which is conducive toward student-centered learning, as well as continual assessment. I am confident we will receive the grant in time for the start of the 2007-08 school year.

What are a some of the technologies/activities that the biology teacher uses to support classroom learning?
