 Machu Picchu Exploration 

(A Virtual Field Trip)

This is a virtual field trip of Machu Picchu that I created using Google Tour Creator. This was an exciting and educational activity for me to take part in. In my future teaching practice, I could see myself using this in integrative lessons using technology, where students are asked to create a tour that provides both historical and scientific information about natural sights around the world. This would be a great tool during a time such as this when much of our teaching is forced to be online and is also a great resource for students to feel like they get to travel around the world.

Coding For Kids!

 Coding for Kids! Click on this image to access my Scratch lesson plan! Creating this lesson allowed me to understand how many different directions I could bring coding into the classroom with my future students. I was able to understand how coding isn't restricted to only mathematics, but can be used in all curricular areas. In this lesson, I planned to use Scratch at the Grade 6 Level in the unit of Trees and Forests. This lesson integrates both the ICT and Science curricular outcomes seamlessly and this is a lesson that I really hope I will get to teach one day! In this activity, students would be challenged to use scratch in order to create a code that would provide viewers with a mini presentation about an animal that lives in our Canadian Forests. Students would choose a sprite, and insert different movements and comments in order to share at least 5 interesting facts about the creature of their choice. By the end of this lesson, students would have an incredible grasp of ho...

A Mini Lesson In Technology

  A Mini Lesson Using Scratch! My group had the chance to teach a mini lesson on using scratch as a technology tool. We found that it was very engaging with all of the exciting features it offers. Our peers were excited to take part in the activities and enjoyed experimenting with this tool and overall, it was a success! Our peers were also able to show us their understanding of using this tool to create a mini band which exemplified their ability to manipulate technology in a way that made sense to them. One thing I would change for next time is simply making sure we don't lose track of time with the excitement of this tool! In my future practice, I could see myself using this tool in music classes or in the arts. I could also encourage students to use this tool as a way for them to creatively create presentations as I noticed that the user is able to record their own voice and place it into their scratch creations! How cool! Click this image to access the lesson plan my group cre...
