Navigation Slide • Who is Sherry, the person? • Who is Sherry, the teacher? • Project-based learning and multimedia • Interactive multimedia • Self-assessment of course skills
Who is Sherry, the person? • I am the wife of a teacher and mother of one daughter, Olivia • I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland • Likes: Outdoors, living near the water, naptime, exercising, Baltimore Ravens, Scrabble, Project Runway • Dislikes: Cold weather
Project Based Learning and Multimedia in My Classroom • I used PowerPoint as a review tool in Math • My students create PowerPoints as a digital yearbook project for their fifth grade year • I integrated Webquests and online field trips • Students also compared and contrasted city life and country life in an online unit
Interactivity • I used computer based games and PowerPoints, such as Jeopardy, to review for tests. • I also have used problem based games, such as Jamestown to help students empathize and comprehend what life was like in the past. • I believe any interactivity, even if it’s simply verbal interaction, enhances every classroom!
Analysis of Self-Assessment • I have done animations before, but it has been a few years. I know it’s changed since then! • I have used Wikispaces, but never to create a portfolio. • Many of the skills are ones that I have tried, but not mastered. If I didn’t feel %100 comfortable, I left it blank.
In Summary… • Even though I love staying home with my daughter, I enjoy working part-time because I love teaching, too. Technology has always been a part of my teaching, but I would like to it take a larger role in my classroom. • My goal is to take what I have been doing and make it current to what’s happening now in 2010!
