The name of my article is Integrating Technology with Literacy: Using Teacher-Guided
Collaborative Online Learning to Encourage Critical Thinking; I believe
that this article is very interesting and informative. It talks about how
important of a tool technology can be in literacy, ways to integrate it into a
classroom, and all of the positive outcome that come from incorporating technology
to improve students’ critical thinking. The article uses a study on students
that use an interactive program called
Book Raps and discusses their increase of their critical thinking awareness.
Programs such as these are great tools to incorporate into the classrooms to
reach out to all students, collaborate and work together, and allow them to
develop their critical thinking skills.

I created an Edmodo page that enables my students and parents to get involved in the Arts. Students and parents are able to view my students artworks (kindergarten - 4th grade and Life Skills), our artist of the month, and projects we are currently working on.
My Edmodo page encompasses the technology, the arts, and ELA. I am able to hold class discussions and art critiques on my page. Where students are able to discuss and collaborate on ideas.

Hi Christine, I really would like to use Edmodo for my classes. I think the students would enjoy using it. I feel it would create a sense of community in the classroom. Perhaps being especially attractive to my shy students at the HS level. It is difficult to get them to speak about art in class, but in an online format they might feel more comfortable.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree, it would be a great tool to get parents involved.
Excellent choice on the article! Thank you for sharing. Using Edmodo to collaborate on the idea is wonderful. :D
