The fifth grade class was reviewing for their science test.

He later made a movie using Movie Maker and shared it with his class and others on Teacher Tube. While he worked with the small groups, others were doing SSR, and others were on the computers working on Compass Odyssey and Fast Forword. Students rehearsed their parts, then the teacher filmed them using the Flip Video Camera. Students from a third grade single gender classroom performed a Reader’s Theatre play as a news team from the Civil War. They were able to observe two lessons which actively involved all students, engaged the learners, and set high achievement goals for students by using technology. George Lipscomb, from Furman University, brought his Technology Integration class over to Hollis Academy to see real life examples of technology integration in the classroom. I was honored to showcase one of our Title 1 schools that has raised the bar for technology integration to a higher level.
Demonstrating the use of Activexpressions to third graders while they reviewed for their Civil War test motivated me, and showcasing excellent teaching strategies to student teachers validated why I became a teacher over 27 years ago. Teaching fifth grade students, during their Arts Day, to make movies using Movie Maker inspired me.
This week was one of those weeks when I was proud to be a teacher and part of this profession! Teaching poetry to first graders during Literacy Week by using the Smartboard and the Flip camera energized me.
