Ms. Midkiff elaborates on classroom procedures for integrating technology seamlessly into the classroom. By utilizing tools such as Google Forms and Wallwisher/Padlet, her students are able to spend more time focused on the content and less time unfocused as she loads the next presentation. Additionally, she doesn't have to spend time reformatting student submissions for presentation. Now that's a good example of "never working harder than your students." Thank you , Ms. Midkiff for talking about the how of instructional technology.
"Sixth grade science students researched nine energy resources. They turned in their energy research to my wallwisher (one for each class period) that was embedded on my teacher website. While each student presented, the others completed a Google Response to Presentation form where they wrote questions for the presenter. The Wall Wisher let me run the slides in sequence without copy/pasting them into one PowerPoint, and the response form helped them to focus critically on the presentations." --Kim Midkiff, 6th Grade Science Teacher
