2. One month
with 3
MacBooks
and 3 iPod
touches, and
look at what
we did!

4. What Have We Been Doing?
From the students....
Everything
Enhancing our learning with technology!
Let us show you.

5. Podcasts

6. Podcasts

7. Presentations
Lyssa,
Remove this slide and add in the slides from the Keynote presentation
that you want to show. You should be able to open up this presentation
and the student one, than just drag the students’ slides into your
presentation. That way, you can play the student presentation within
yours.

8. Comic Life
Can you take screen shots of the Comic Life projects? The keystrokes are Command-Shift (held
down together) than hit the number 3 on the keyboard. That should put a picture on your desktop
(if you tell it to save it there), and than you can drop the screen shots onto slides in your
presentation. Again, that way you don’t have to leave your presentation to show them.

9. What has changed since the
arrival of the new technology?
More from the students of G3...

10. What has changed since the
arrival of the new technology?
More from the students of G3...
We have become artists and shown our
knowledge with presentations.

11. From the teacher’s standpoint...
Lyssa,
You might consider just having this slide come up, than actually tell the
Board all the things that you have on slides 8 and 9. I’m concerned that
1) they is a lot of text, which people start to glaze over, and 2) it would
be have greater impact if they hear you directly. You can use all your
bullets on slides 8-9 and notes, and yes it is ok to use notes to help.

12. From the teacher’s standpoint...
• Students have taken over their own learning. It was
their idea to create a podcast of the frog dissection.
• They are helping each other, working together, and
coming to better conclusions than before.
Possible delete and just
talk about.
• With technology, they don’t have the fear making
mistakes because they know they can go back and fix
it.
• It is allowing students who may normally hide, to
express themselves in artistic ways. It also allows
them to speak without an entire audience looking at
them.

13. and more from the teacher...
• Their fluency has already improved, especially one of
my students still struggling with the pronunciation
of English. He has used the text to speak function,
and he loves it! Possible delete and just
talk about
• By making podcasts of things they have been
learning, they are internalizing the information and
will have a longer retention.
• We have only used 2 reams of paper, where as
before, I could go through an entire box in one

14. What would you have
done if you had this
technology all year?

15. “We would have been able to
do more projects and I
wouldn’t be so afraid to do
presentations.”

16. “I would be able to read
more books online, and
use my imagination to
make book reports using
iMovies, Keynote, or
Podcasts.”

17. “I would pay attention.”

18. “I would have been able to
help myself through math
problems while listening
to podcasts made by me,
my class, or my teacher.”

19. “I wouldn’t get
mad when I
make mistakes,
because I could
fix them
easier.”

20. “I could record myself
reading. Then I could
hear myself read, and
practice sounding better.”

21. “I could practice my
spelling, vocabulary, and
math facts on my ipod
when I have extra time,
or when I’m listening to
music.”

22. “I would feel better about
what I can do, because I
could practice things lots
of times and change them
without having to start
over.”

23. “I would have a smile on
my face when I come to
school, because I just get
things like computers.
They keep up with my
brain.”

24. “I would be ready for
college and work, because
they do lots of speeches
and writing there.”

25. “I would feel
like I’m good
at something.”

26. Most Importantly...
•It engages me!!
