Louise has a blog (http://www.frugalteacher.com/) describing the ways she has been using technology in her clasroom. She was initially inspired by a live cam showing an eagle nest http://www.farmyou.com/falcon_cams/decorah_eagle_xcel.html. This spread throughout the school, it inspired the students and made them interested and excited by learning. This led her to develop the use of a variety of tools:
Other projects than provide global links - Hello Little World Skypers (https://sites.google.com/site/skypershello/) - Flat Charlotte (http://www.flatstanley.com/) - Dot Day (http://www.thedotclub.org/dotday/) - Travelling rhino project (http://saveourrhinos.wikispaces.com/HOME) She rounded off the presentation by discussing the SAMR model which can be used to measure the impact of computer technology on teaching and learning (https://sites.google.com/a/msad60.org/technology-is-learning/samr-model). This is extremely useful for my Master’s critical study so thank you Louise!
