I'm an advocate of integrating technology into the classroom. I'm a "technology native" (as opposed to an immigrant) and whole-heartedly believe students must learn how to use different types of tech to be competitive later in life. However, they've still got to learn critical thinking skills and I don't believe technology can replace teachers.
I earned my technology endorsement from Nevada State College and love using tools like kidblog, prezi, voki and more in the classroom!
I just stumbled upon this idea:
Naturally, my mind went to "that's what he said" comments...but here it could actually work in an academically appropriate way!
Simply insert speech bubbles in word over an image and tada! Great group activity with minimal technology (for those who are hesistant about using tech).
This could be great to talk about multiple perspectives and as a culminating activity. Easily differentiated and can be used with lots of academic subject areas. What a fun way to add some joy back into the classroom :)
Enjoy! Happy teaching :)
