Good Morning…My name is Jay Gross. I am here today to talk to you about Communicating with today’s students through technology. Let us take a moment and define communication. Dictionary.com defines communication as: the act or process of communicating; fact of being communicated. the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech,
writing, or signs. something imparted, interchanged, or transmitted. a document or message imparting news, views, information, etc. passage, or an opportunity or means of passage, between places.
My Purpose today is give you some new ideas on how to exchange ideas with students. I also want you to take a chance and step outside your comfort zones. If there is time, I would like to tell you some stories. So let us now talk about technology. Dictionary.com defines technology as: the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means
and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science.
the terminology of an art, science, etc.; technical nomenclature. a scientific or industrial process, invention, method, or the like. the sum of the ways in which social groups provide themselves with the material
objects of their civilization.Now that we have that straight, how do students today communicate? Texting Twitter SnapChat Instagram FaceBook
Prefer Handouts???You do yours / I’ll do mine / We’ll pass & grade when done / Then pass forward for our teacher
Or Dittos???Ah… that smell
Go Old School… Hallway time!
Establishing Relationships Face-
to-Face & with & through technology…
Every single child we come across has a gift…
It is our mission to help them find the gift. Help them unwrap it. Help
them polish it. Help them use it.
They all have voices and all of them are yearning to be heard…
Think about this for just a second...
What are digital story technology & apps
without a story to tell?
If this were my last day teaching…
What would I say to them?
What would they remember about me?
I am going to curse you two ways…
#1
Door Handles…
#2
EYES…
This profession is a gift…
And so are our students…
So are you as an Educator…
Thank you.
Today is my honor to share time with you
