This afternoon I scooted over to Barrow Elementary School for another day of planning with Mr. Keith Weaver (4th-grade teacher) and Mr. Dana Siegmund (Clarke County Instructional Technology Specialist). Today we continued our planning of the upcoming Westward Expansion Unit for social studies. Today much of our collaborative planning involved a discussion of how to improve the hyperlink doc and what would be the best method to get students to create content related to the educational goals. To improve the document, we decide to have all the fourth-grade team members review the links and add any that they believed would enhance the learning opportunities for the students. In regards to student-created content, we decided that giving the students the options to use Flipgrid or SeeSaw to produce a video showcasing their work would be best. Mr. Siegmund has agreed to return to Barrow and provide some instruction to the students on how to use these tools.
Once again it was great to see how collaboration can take place. I have yet to see teachers in my school take advantage of Mr. Siegmund and what he can offer their students. My hope is that I can influence some teachers to reach out to Mr. Siegmund and utilize his wealth of knowledge.
