Integrating Technology into Lessons

I chose to do a literacy lesson on comparing and contrasting. This lesson and activity support the learning goal of critical thinking and deeper level analysis.
I integrated the technology of https://creately.com on which to create Venn diagrams (and other charts).

Since these are modes of technology that we actually use in our classes, it was interesting to analyze their functionalities and how many possibilities are opened to us by using them.

Introduction

Hi Professor and fellow classmates,

My name is Nechama Lipschutz. As a teacher, I believe that the most important tool to success is to set goals. I hope that this class will teach me how to use curriculum to bring the students to the academic goals that we hope for them to reach. 

I am interested in learning about "new literacies" and "21st century skills", both of which are new terms to me.

I hope that I will be able to keep up with the technological aspects of this course.

See my voki for a bit more about me! http://tinyurl.com/za53j3t

Looking forward, 

Nechama
