What Are We Doing 1:1 After Three Weeks?

It's Friday!

We, here at Kearney High School, are just completing our third week of 1:1 with Chromebooks. I have been in some classrooms and have seen the awesome things happening for myself and I have also polled the staff on what they are doing.

Based on their answers, I categorized the usage and here is the list so far:

Chromebook Uses

Communication

• Class Websites (Google Sites, School Fusion)
• Learning Management Systems (Moodle, Schoology,  School Fusion)
• Gmail (Large increase since 1:1)

Collaboration

• Padlet
• Google Docs Projects
• Discussion Boards

Creativity

• Theatre Project utilizing YouTube and Google Docs to summarize each chapter and how it relates to a given play.

Critical Thinking

• Google Search (Having it “at the ready”)
• Real time data analysis in science classes

Engagement

• Graphic Organizers (Google Drawing)
• Guided Notes (Template Gallery/Make a Copy)
• Shared Slide Decks

Instructional Input

• Online Textbooks
• Khan Academy
• Desmos graphing program
• GeoGebra
• MusicTheory.net

Formative Assessment

• Socrative
• Infuse Learning
• Padlet (Parking Lot)
• Exit Tickets (Google Forms)

Assessment

• Google Forms with Flubaroo script
• Moodle
• Infuse Learning/Socrative
• Voicethread

This is a great start! We only asked our teachers to consider the Substitution level of the SAMR Model for technology integration and so many of them have cleared that hurdle by a mile! I can't wait to see where we go from here!

Have a happy day!
