Hello, I am a pre-service teacher and was interested in resources regarding technology inside of the classroom. I am creating a gardening unit and could use some ideas on what technology I could include other than videos. Thank you!
Hello! Try this one http://www.teacherstryscience.org/lessons. They have tons of science activities for all grade levels. Good luck!
Hi Jocelyn, Consider how your students can use technology to create some kind of communication about their understandings of science concepts. Being creators rather than passive consumers supports children's learning. Here is a digital book, created by adults, that might give you some ideas about what children can do at their beginning levels.https://itunes.apple.com/mt/book/discovering-decay/id1161546435?mt=11 An article describing the lesson is available at: http://www.naeyc.org/tyc/rotten-truth-discovering-decayDiscovering Decay: An Early Learning ExplorationThis book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device. Multi-touch books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device. Books with interactive features may work best on an iOS device. iBooks on your Mac requires OS X 10.9 or later.DescriptionThis book was co-authored by early childhood educators Bonnie Blagojevic, Victoria Grotton, Suzen Polk-Hoffses and Karen Thomes to share information and resources from our experiences “discovering decay” and exploring why decomposition is important for young children in three Maine preschool programs. We hope that our process might prove useful to other early childhood educators when designing their own science inquiry projects. You might find this NAEYC webinar and other resources about technology use helpful: http://teccenter.erikson.edu/publications/naeyc-webinar-reso...-programs/ Best wishes, Peggy
Thank you very much for attaching this reference! I appreciate online books and the convenience of them. I like how you stated that I should consider technology to create communication, I will definitely consider that!
