Last week of the practicum

Unfortunately I did not see a lot of technology used in the classroom this week, at least not anymore than usual. The students in our class have computer time once per week, but there were not a lot of other elements really incorporated this week into our class.

I finished my “moon” lesson this week, and used the document viewer again for my Venn diagram. It really helped the students to see my partner teacher writing on a replica of their diagram to help them know what they should be doing.

We’ve been teaching a lot about the moon in our class this week, and I think it would really be beneficial to use stellarium in the class to show students the different patterns and phases of the moon. There are a lot of great programs out there to supplement curriculum in the classroom, I think some teachers are just a little hesitant to embrace technology for fear of using it and not knowing how.
