Welcome to room 204!
Objective: Teachers will develop an understanding of Seesaw and how it can be used in the classroom. Teachers will add a class and share an assignment with their children. I was so excited about holding my first session. Even though I initially wanted to involve the entire school, I was now feeling happy that I didn't. It would have been even more of a hassle with having to figure out everyones schedule. I brought a mixture of healthy and unhealthy snacks and my coworkers were so happy that I brought food for them to snack on. This was my first time creating a Hyperdoc on google slides. I made sure to send out the Hyperdoc earlier that day so that they could have it up and ready after school. The first session was held in my classroom at 4:30p.m. This was right after dismissal time and I planned for it to last only 30 minutes. Those 30 minutes went by really quick. I started off with an introduction to seesaw. I used my Seesaw Leadership Presentation to guide instruction. When it was time for the teachers to start typing into the Hyperdoc, it would not allow them to because I sent the no edit link. I had to go into the Hyperdoc and chance the sharing to edit. I have to say that it is very different to teach adults and keep them focused opposed to teaching 3rd graders. Even once we were 5 minutes into the session, I already could not get them to stay on task and talk about the technology tool. These were times when I would say a call and response, but I felt silly doing it for adults. In session one I was able to teach the other 3rd grade teachers about the benefits of using Seesaw and learn how to create a free account.

On October 11th I finally got my Approval letter signed by the new principal and I was eager to get started with my internship. However, I could only teach the other teachers who were on my grade level. Last year there were six 3rd grade teachers, however, this year there is only five and that includes me. I did not know how to feel about only teaching four other teachers about this technology tool but, I knew that this was out of my control. |
