One Word Memoirs

One Word Memoirs

I love the idea of one word memoirs. It allows students to use creativity and to think about topics in a different way. This activity assisted in the development of research skills, comprehension, and is a fun hands-on approach to learning. This is definitely something I will be using in my own classroom!!
TPACK and Integration

This exercise was eye opening. It allowed me to see how versatile technology is when used in a classroom setting. By using a computer based timeline the teacher was able to reach students using a few learning styles. I think the teacher in this exercise was wonderful. She was able to ask questions in a way that led students to the answers, without actually giving them the answers. Critical thinking is an important skill to develop and this technology integration exercise helped with this skill.
