WHO IS SHERRY, THE PERSON?
I am the wife of a teacher and mother of one daughter, Olivia
I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland Likes: Outdoors, living near the water,
naptime, exercising, Baltimore Ravens, Scrabble, Project Runway
Dislikes: Cold weather
PROJECT BASED LEARNING AND MULTIMEDIA IN MY CLASSROOM
I used PowerPoint as a review tool in Math My students create PowerPoints as a digital
yearbook project for their fifth grade year I integrated Webquests and online field trips Students also compared and contrasted city
life and country life in an online unit
INTERACTIVITY I used computer based games and
PowerPoints, such as Jeopardy, to review for tests.
I also have used problem based games, such as Jamestown to help students empathize and comprehend what life was like in the past.
I believe any interactivity, even if it’s simply verbal interaction, enhances every classroom!
SELF ASSESSMENT
ANALYSIS OF SELF-ASSESSMENT I have done animations before, but it has
been a few years. I know it’s changed since then!
I have used Wikispaces, but never to create a portfolio.
Many of the skills are ones that I have tried, but not mastered. If I didn’t feel %100 comfortable, I left it blank.
IN SUMMARY… Even though I love staying home with my
daughter, I enjoy working part-time because I love teaching, too. Technology has always been a part of my teaching, but I would like to it take a larger role in my classroom.
My goal is to take what I have been doing and make it current to what’s happening now in 2010!
