SAMR. Substitution, Augmentation, Modification. Redefinition.
It's more than a little difficult to begin making that change into my curriculum, but over the past couple of years I have tried some new ways of teaching and new ways for the kids to show their understanding of the material. I've also failed miserably at times! There has been issues with technology, attendance, planning, and even implementation. Sometimes I have to scrap a lesson halfway through, and other times I can bounce back to save it- or at least salvage it. Mrs. Klimpke and I have been working on a unit plan for the upcoming survivor memoir unit, and I think that it is going to be pretty interesting. The students will be building a website and maintaining, adding to, and revising it while they read their novel of choice. This will take a lot of work both at home and at school, but I think that in the end it will be well worth the effort on my side and for the students. This year the students will be my guinea pigs (insert evil laugh here) in the hopes that next year and the year after that the lesson will be better and I will have better command of what I'm aiming for, which is understanding and knowledge of the material, as well as using technology to amplify one's voice and opinion. Wish me luck!
