The Big Three for Me
*Edmodo, *iPad and *Mimio Vote
Over the past year I have once again become a better teacher, learner and technology user by participating in TILT.
Desiree has once again been an inspiration in my drive to integrate active and engaging opportunities for my students.
Because I have learned too much to share it all, I have highlighted the big three below.
If you have questions on how to use any of these items please feel free to email me at [email protected].
Please, utilize resources that are located on the BPS site and through FEFE. Enjoy your journey!

With the push to go paperless I tried Edmodo at the start of the year and I LOVE IT! It's amazing. My favorite components are:

Mimio Voters to ensure all students are engaged!
For a change of pace I use the Mimio Voting system.
Mimio interactive systems have been a great way to engage students and allow them all to have equal opportunity to engage and share their thoughts. The most successful activity with the Mimio Voters was the "races" in accounting on debits and credits. It was as easy as me creating slides that ask the students what the normal balance of accounts is and they would "vote" in. The person who voted the fastest would win the race. The kids would ask for this review! AWESOME...KIDS ASKING FOR A QUIZ!

iPad oh my! I had no idea that I would love this tool so much!
Thanks to the passed Technology Mill Levy my department had access to 3 iPads for student use. I added in my personal 5 and was able to use 5 iPads for a variety of lessons! To find out how to integrate them within business curriculum check out the new lesson that will be posted to FEFE in June of 2012! The lessons in which successful integrations occurred are:
White Boards with audio & video- Show Me, Screen Chomp or Educreations Vocabulary Evernote Peek, Flashcards+ Finance Games Celebrity Calamity, Financial Football, Life Organization, Time Savers and Great Tools to share with kids... Evernote, Dropbox, Flipboard, QR Reader |
