Jaclynn commented on the post, Course 5 Final Project-Kindergarten Garden Unit, on the site Growing Pains 5 days, 10 hours ago
Sibila,
Do try Pic Collage and let me know if you need any help. The biggest issue was keeping track of which student was doing which project on which iPad.
But once they know the app, you can do so much with […] -

Thanks, Cheryl! It can be a bit tricky with Kindergarteners and only 5 iPads but I am proud of the things that we have accomplished so far. Still some projects to try out in the next couple of weeks. Would loved […]

Personal Learning Network (PLN)? What’s that? I don’t have the legitimate excuses you have. For me, life happened. It’s not just one thing or another. It’s the combination of it all. There’s only 24 hours in a […]

How exciting that the kids are not afraid to take risks in this project! Sometimes (these days) they are more worried about the grade than the learning. I am glad they’ve had the chance to explore and try things […]

The Kindergarten Garden is doing really well this year! It feels like a miracle (compared to the disaster last year with flooding in Bangkok). We’ve optimized the soil in the beds and containers for growing and […] -
Jaclynn wrote a new post, Filming in Kinder Hands, on the site Growing Pains 3 weeks, 2 days ago
I guess I am “old-schooled” or “schooled” in the old ways and tech terminology. What do you call what used to be “filming” when it was on film or “taping” when it was on videotapes or “recording” when it was […]

Jaclynn wrote a new post, New BFA, on the site Growing Pains 1 month, 1 week ago
My new best friendly app (BFA) is Pic Collage. I loved the potential of Skitch, which is connected to Evernote (which is another treasure trove) but it was not dependable due to internet connectivity issues. Pic […] -

Sanne,
Thanks for writing! You posed some good thoughts. Skitch/Evernote is temperamental! I actually like PicCollage a lot more lately because it “automatically” saves when you add another page (albeit on that […]

We planted the seeds on a Friday and on Monday, we already had some seeds sprout! One of the amazing things about living in tropical Bangkok where the average temperature year-round is never below 18 degrees […]

Jaclynn wrote a new post, Final Project Idea, on the site Growing Pains 5 months ago
The time is here to choose that “final” project idea! How did time just fly by like that? Am I ready to revamp a whole unit to incorporate all/many of the things learned in COETAIL? Being that Course 5 will begin […] -

Cheryl, I know you have put forth and set the foundation of responsible use and clear expectations of tech tools in your classroom. It’s impressive to see how your 4th grade students are using the computers to […]

Jaclynn wrote a new post, Is It Still A Laptop?, on the site Growing Pains 5 months ago
As I read the fourth point in Classroom Management, I had to ask myself the question, “Is it still a “lap”top when it doesn’t hold a charge unless it’s connected?” That’s what is happening to all 4 of my […] -
Jaclynn wrote a new post, Mooching Off Of MOOC, on the site Growing Pains 5 months ago
As education changes with the integration of technology, our mode of learning is changing as well. We no longer need to physically sit in classrooms or attend lectures to benefit from the lecturer. We can sit in […]

Jaclynn commented on the post, Do we Teach Pencil?, on the site Chewing Over 5 months ago
This captures the heart of my struggle integrating technology in a Kindergarten classroom, along with the skills of using an ordinary pencil. Gross motor and fine motor skills need to be addressed in early years. […]

Change is good. The more I read about “flipped” classrooms, “flipped” learning and “reverse” instruction, the more excited I got and thought of the potential of this new wave of thinking and teaching. Watching […]

Technology is ubiquitous. Technology integration is key to students’ futures in education. Coming from a Constructivist pedagogy, it makes sense for the students to be able to explore and construct their own […]

Maybe it’s the middle child syndrome in me that wants to meet halfway. When reading David Warlick’s article, I was intrigued by his interpretation of Computer Applications. -
Jaclynn wrote a new post, Kindergarten Pendulum, on the site Growing Pains 5 months, 2 weeks ago
The kindergarten pendulum swings in a wide arc in respect to our technology use during our “Free Choice” time. In the beginning of the year when we first got our 5 spanking new iPads, students patiently (and […]
