Plan for technology assignment

For my integrating technology I'm going to do it along with science. My class has just planted seeds and they are monitoring their growth-So next week when there's been a little more growth with the plants I am going to have all the students to a journal write about their plants and what's happened- and some of the students will get to post the information on the class blog.

Technology Lesson Idea

I am in Miss Clayton's first grade class and it would definitely be possible to have the class help with the blog that Miss Clayton has. Right now each student is growing a plant for science and I think they would love it if they got to write updates of the experience on the class blog. The students love typing and working on computers-so this is just something simple they could all participate in. Some could help upload images of their plants, others could be keeping track of them or come up with learned information about the plants. This could be done on the classroom computers or we could reserve the school laptops and teach the students how to do it all at the same time as a class.

Technology Inventory

While doing this inventory I was actually surprised at the resources that were available and the knowledge of my teacher. I don't really remember working on computers at all or doing a whole lot at all technology based in elementary school. I think with the way we are all living now it is vital to teach children using technology, but also teach them how to use it.
With all the resources that are available in my school it's simple for the teachers to get help or get access to things and to utilize it in their content. Overall my school does have quality resources and I think that helps in teaching the most effectively.
