Using Web 2.0 tools makes learning exciting and fun. I am very excited about using several of the tools on the Web 2.0 tool site but I can only choose one to talk about as to how I would use it in my classroom. The one tool that excites me the most is the arcade game. My reason for choosing this one is because students are so familiar with arcade games and they can easily adjust to how to work the game. This will be a very useful tool to use when planning lessons for my students. I believe in making learning fun and at the same time making it real. The program is very user friendly. I have some students that require repetition in learning and are visual. This will also allow more activities for differentiated instruction in the classroom. I like the idea of using the arcade game template, this tool can be useful for my tutorial and enrichment which is a part of the Eight Step Process.
The Eight step process include:
1. Test Score Disaggregation (plan)
2. Timeline Development (Plan)
3. Instructional Focus (do) Teacher deliver the instructional focus lessons on target areas as scheduled
4. Assessment (Check) (Mini assessments)
5. Tutorials (act) provide tutorial time to re-teach non-mastered target areas
6. Enrichment (act) Provide enrichment opportunities for mastery students
7. Maintain (check) Provide materials for ongoing maintenance and re-teaching
8. Monitoring (check) by the principal
The Eight Step process is a program that is used and mandated by our county and must be followed by every school in Bibb County. I will use my Web 2.0 tools when I develop my lessons.
