- Students like tech tools because it helps them a lot in their other classes and it is really fun.
- "I like learning to do new things on the computer. It makes me feel smarter! :) I love that we have review worksheets before quizzes! It is so helpful, so I know what I need to study. Thank you! :)" - You are welcome!
- "I don't like the fact that we can't see what we marked wrong on our quizzes." I am so sad about this! I want you to review the quizzes to see what you missed. If this is happening PLEASE let me know!
- A few students said that their least favorite thing about tech tools is Prezi. Thanks for letting us know about this. Prezi had an update so we had to redo all of the material in the Prezi unit. Next year, we will make our own step by step screencasts instead of using Prezi’s screencasts.
- Twitter ideas - love these ideas for things Mrs. Webb and I can tweet in the future:
- Funny jokes
- About students who did really well that week
- Extra credit assignments
- Quick facts or reminders of things we have already learned
- Fun side assignments for students to do
- Intro video ideas: Mostly students thought they were fine - Students don’t like long intro videos. I agree - I try and keep mine around 5 minutes or under. Students like that the videos are generally short and to the point.
- "For me, it was hard when we had to use certain apps, and I didn't have them because I am not using the schools computer. I have my own computer that I use. Maybe you guys can tell the student where they can download that app if they don't have it." - Please come to us if you don't have a certain application and we will direct you in the right direction!
- Favorite assignments:
- Typing
- Surveys
- Prezi
- Word processing
- Voicethread
- Spreadsheet
- Screenr
- Possible assignment suggestions - these are great!
- Apple VS Microsoft Unit
- Make a commercial about a topic
- "This class has been great so far. I have learned so much. I feel much more confident in how to use my computer. You guys have been excellent teachers. Thank you for all your help!" - THANK YOU.
- I was so pleased when I read everyone's feedback about the course. The general feedback was extremely positive and informative. I love that you are loving the class and Mrs. Webb and I LOVE BEING YOUR TEACHERS! Please do not hesitate to ever come to us if you have a question or if you want to chat for a bit about anything random ;). We are looking forward to a great quarter 4 in Technology Tools.
Much love,
Ms. Hansen
