Replacement+Ideas

One of the reasons that I love having this website available to my students is that they have no excuses not to get their work done and get it in on time. there is a calender that they can see what we are doing in class and see when assignments are due. It is also a good way for students who are either suspended from school or that are going to be gone for long periods of time to be able to work on class assignments so that they do not get behind in their work. It saves a lot of time on my part trying to get assignments together for those students. I preach responsibility in my classroom and this pressures students to be responsible and take care of their work.

This replacement idea serves its purpose greatly. It helps to replace outdated textbooks and in my situation; it makes up for my not having access to a text book. I have placed an order for a classroom set of an up—to-date English (grammar) textbook and have yet to receive it. I think this help to organize and manage a classroom positively. This would help me as a teacher well-manage my classroom and also keep my students attentive and involved.

Making changes in the lesson and incorporate technology available to students help us to enhance their skills and to keep the class interesting. When they create stories, feeling that they made the story based on the pictures that they took from a normal day, make them feel successful, that they can create too that they are part of the process, that it is not only the teacher providing the knowledge but they applying their learning. If we can make them feel part of the game they will stay in it. They want to see what is next, what is the next project, can we do this or that are the next questions.

Moodle replaces the out-dated idea of students missing thier homework, constant coping and wasting paper (go green), it allows for students to review their lessons at home in a more comfortable enviroment, the less stress of "if they don't finish in class", it also encourages them to go online at home and play around in the site (scavenger hunts), it keeps their interest because each day something new is added. I just like the site because they are able to upload their work from anywhere and I am able to access it almost anywhere and I don't have to carry a ton of papers home with the chances of losing them. The students like the idea of being able to see their grades as soon as I get them graded whether it is at school or at home.
