I want to thank ST4Stem for allowing me to participate in this project; I am walking away knowlegde of ICT tools and a brighter outlook on where my teaching is headed. It was a great amount of fun making Vokis with my students; as teams they wrote paragraphs about an ecosystem and then typed it into their Voki. This ICT tool made my kids excited to write. I also enjoyed brainstorming using Popplet; I was able to follow the DBLL format and add different academic areas that surround a specific skill that I had to teach. Using Popplet with my students.......priceless. Finally, they were out of the books and reading expository text via kid friendly websites; making graphic organizers that included the topic and details (with some help from me) and writing about it.

While it was a bit exasperating; I am so much more confident in my abilities as a teacher and this course has definately reignited that spark that pushes me to be the best teacher that I can be.

Whew, did it!
