Hello! My name is Stormie Walker and I am a full time 4th grade teacher, mother, wife, and a graduate student at the University of West Alabama. I love my job and consider it a privilege to go to work each day. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, shopping, painting, and refinishing furniture.
As a teacher I teach Reading, Math, Social Studies, and Science. I set out to teach my kids to be cooperative problem solvers, which is a challenge at times. This clip reminds me why that is so important.
I am learning new
things and technology tools in my graduate class. I am very excited to use them in my 4th
grade classroom. I love to use my Smartboard, ELMO, and projector daily in my
lessons. Students love to use technology and when you use it to tech new
concepts it is a win-win situation! It is important to engage students in
lessons.
Teachers say technology’s
visual and interactive qualities can direct students’ attention toward learning
tasks. (Roblyer & Doering, 25) I love my Smartboard and the fact that it
grabs their attention, is hands-on, and fun! Here is a website to help you get started using your Smartboard sites I’ve
found and LOVE!

ReplyDeleteThe video was funny. I agree we need to teach problem solving as well as some common sense approaches to problem solving. :0)
Yes!
DeleteI got a chuckle from the video, too. Thanks for sharing the link of SMARTboard resources. I find my students are much more engaged when I can use the SMARTboard, so I am always looking for more resources.
