This week's teacher feature comes from Maple Avenue Middle School where Ms. Janelle Koontz uses quite a few educational tech tools to engage her students. She started off by using Plickers to assess her students on statistical and non-statistical questions. This seemed to be a review of the lessons from the days before. The beauty of Plickers is that you only need one iPad!! That is right folks, one iPad! Then she brought up a Padlet that the students had created in the days before containing different questions. They had to pick a question and use it to create a graphical representation of their question by polling their classmates. They used a QR code to get to chartgo.com to create their graphs. The final product was a class collaborative Google Slides presentation with their data. I am proud of Ms. Koontz and her class for seamlessly integrating so many tools into one lesson! P.S. By the way, the students were focused on every aspect of the lesson! Great job Ms. Koontz and class! What a great example of how tech tools can change your teaching!
