Technology in the Classroom

When possible, I bring technology into the classroom to create a more dynamic, engaging, and fun experience for my students.

Websites that I have created:

Tools, websites and applications which I use and am able to use in the classroom:

Google Voice
Used to record students' voices and provide feedback on pronunciation and presentation skills.

Prezi
Used to provide online, interactive slideshows for students. Click here to see samples.

Smart Board
Creates dynamic, engaging, tactile, and visual lesson plans.

Qualtrics
Excellent way to collect data from students online and easily organize the information. Here's an example of a needs analysis I made with Qualtrics.

Weebly
I use weebly to quickly and easily design websites and blogs for my classes. This website (as well as the two displayed above) were designed using weebly.

Schoology
Schoology is an online platform that allows me to maintain communication with my students throughout the semester, post files, add homework, etc.

QR Codes
I have used QR codes to provide students with direct access to materials inside and outside the classroom in a fun, engaging way!

COCA Corpus
Useful corpus that I train students to use to find collocations in authentic environments. Used in this sample lesson plan.

Document camera
I use a doc cam to help to review students' work, quickly show answers in class, and to share information.
