Free Tech for Teachers - Blog Resources

Looking through the Free Tech for Teachers blog was super interesting. Although not all resources mentioned on this blog would be good for my students, I stumbled upon a couple of really great ones! Flip was by far my favorite of the resources I found and it is something that I have never even heard of before so I am pretty interested in trying it out in my classroom.

Flip is an application that teachers can set up for their students to use at school on their iPads for free. The Flip app is used by students and teachers to communicate, share ideas, and interact with one another on a safe platform. The thing I love the most about Flip is that it can be easily adapted for younger student use considering there are options to communicate via short video, text and audio messages which all of my first grade students will be able to do. I also found resources providing easy ways to make presentations in both Canva as well as Google Slides.

These are also very important resources because I make quick cute little presentations often! Using Canva or Google Slides already pre made presentations would save me so much time and effort. I am so glad I found this resource too! Although I do think my students are too young for me to create a blog post that they would be able to use to access resources, I think that would be such a great idea and useful tool for older students. However, it’s not a bad idea to create a blog post that lists resources for myself, my teammates, and other educators to use! Definitely something I might be interested in in the future.

Course Reflection

  Course Reflection Video      Upon reflecting on everything I have learned, accomplished, and experienced throughout this course I have realized how many new tools and resources I have been exposed to that I will use in my classroom in the future. Of all the courses I have taken throughout my time at Peru State, I believe that I have learned the most new information from this course specifically. Not only was I introduced to a wide, wide, variety of resources, tools, and websites, I was also challenged to dive right in and put them to use! Using technology and  navigating social media has never been my strong suit so I was honestly very intimidated by this course in the beginning. However, I feel that I am leaving this course with a whole new level of confidence, comfortability, curiosity and determination to grow my skills and knowledge in this area. A few of the Educator ISTE goals that I feel I have met throughout this course are:      2.1 Lea...

     Hi, I'm Kate! 👋 Although my students know me as Miss Webber, Miss Webbie, and my personal favorite... Miss Clever. 😉 When you teach first grade, you collect many fun names as you go and I love to embrace each one. I started my journey in education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha where I studied Early Childhood Inclusive Education. Today, I am very happy with where I am at in my journey - teaching first grade for Omaha Public Schools at Gateway Elementary! I am currently teaching kindergarten for summer school which has only made me appreciate my little firsties even more. Kindergarteners are wild! 😅 Please wish me luck this summer!      Technology has never been my strong suit but teaching in today's world where technology is everywhere and used for everything, I have become a much more tech savvy person than I ever thought possible! I enjoy learning new things that I can use in my classroom to enhance  instruction as well as my students...
