Week 4 Blog Reflection: Shelly Fryer

science

In Shelly Fryer‘s blog she has many short posts that I felt were informational especially because she explained which type of technology she used and gave an example. As I was reading through her posts I noticed she had her students use various technology outlets for students to do on projects such as using iMovie to have students teach about a historic person or event in history, also by using an app called explain everything that allows the student to use their names and make a poem, sounds like a good icebreaker to me! Also in a couple of her posts she explains the importance of how building a relationship with students is important to help them learn and make connections with the content the students are learning. Which I also feel is important because sometimes students don’t have a strong relationship at home. By creating a positive environment at school with staff, teachers and students then the students will feel at ease to learn and not shy away from the teacher or work that needs to be done. One of the posts I like from Fryer is how she had proposed for the students to show what they had learned by using little bits and their final work had exceeded her expectations. She let them express themselves through technology.
