Educational Trends Presentation---Memes & Resources





My educational trend presentation was--memes. As stated at the end of my video, I used an app called, Explain Everything. At this time, adding clickable links to the presentation is not possible. Here is a list of clickable resources that were mentioned in the Meme presentation. Hope you find something you can use.

For me, memes were just items to make you laugh or bring attention to an issue. I never thought of using them with my sixth grade students. After completing this project, I think I will give them a try.

Blog #1 Update

Today one of my sixth grade students asked me if I could go to the soccer game. I do try to support our school activities when I can, but I just could not go. Wanting to be honest, I told my student, that I could not go because I had too much homework. He responded with something such as this---What? You have homework? But you're the teacher you don't get homework, you give homework!
I then told my class that you are never too old to learn and go back to school, that it was a dream of mine to earn another masters. I love it when those teaching moments just happen. After I explained what I was doing, the kids clapped and cheered for me. I WAS TOUCHED! One student asked me, "What else is there for you to learn about tech? You are already the tech queen of the school." That one made me laugh out loud. I told him, believe me after I read what kinds of assignments I will have, I have plenty to learn.
God, I love my job!
