Michael Smith's Principals Page intrigues me because:1) the caricature amuses me
2) his posts aren't intense; they're easy to read
3) he has a live feed on his dog Buddy's recliner.
I caught Buddy sleeping on his recliner today! YEI :D
In March he wrote a simple blog post about reading. Watching kids learn how to read is one of the most magical things in the world. I was stunned watching kids bloom as readers in my first year of teaching. It's still one of the coolest things I get to witness as a kindergarten teacher. My question is: How do I incorporate technology into my classroom when most of my kids are still learning how to read?!
They may be able to spell something correctly and Google it ("cat" for example), but they wouldn't be able to read the results... I am tired of pretending like I effectively incorporate technology into my classroom because we use the Smartboard every day, and they play computer games during choice time.
Time for me to step up my thinking.
