B-I-N-G-O

Hi everyone! Spring break is around the corner and that means it's midterm season! As a midterm project in Social Studies Methods, we completed a bingo project where we chose two forms of technology to show what we know from what we've learned so far in the class. I used Google Slides as a base to my presentation and also utilized FlipGrid as an auditory tool to elaborate about the information presented in my slides. I deeply enjoyed this activity because I recognized how far I've come and how much valuable information I learned from the beginning of the semester until now. I can't wait to see what else is in store for the rest of the semester and I am so excited to continue my fieldwork experience with the fourth grade students at BDMS!

Here's a sneak peak into my bingo project:

In a classroom setting, a teacher can give out jobs to each student in the class such as line leader, door holder, messenger, etc. to mimic how each person in society has a specific responsibility and role to play that aids us in functioning properly as a whole. These books are great st...

Digital Generation

In this week's Social Studies Methods class, we discussed all about the digital generation. We started off class by doing a fun activity on Google Slides where we created acrostics of our names on an "About Me" slide. My name is Lia, so for the letter "L," I put loving, for the letter "I," I put imaginative, and for the letter "A," I put adventurous! This was such a fun activity to begin the class! Find picture of my "About Me" slide below. Next, we began to discuss how technology will impact our futures as teachers. Coming from a Gen Z, I definitely believe that I am pretty up to date on the technology that is used today, but in the future we will have so much more different technology that I might not know about that my future students do. My group and I discussed teaching the digital generation; more specifically the 9 elements of digital citizenship and some characteristics of Gen Alpha. Find a link to the slideshow we created a...
