NextGen Digital Dance Classroom

No time to waste!! For the 1st day(s) of school we used our iPads for doing our 1st day paperwork by Google forms and getting to know each other with the Icebreaker app. Day 2 & 3 had us getting our ballet or jazz history lesson started off right away this year with a teacher Prezi presentation and student collaborative note taking on Padlet. These notes will be posted in our Google classroom for students to reference for later testing.

Welcome to Mrs. Searles’ Class! I am so excited to have you my class.  It’s going to be a fantastic year of learning and dancing.  You are about to begin a journey that you will never forget.  I went to some great training this summer and I am FIRED UP and ready for a great year!! I am also excited to share with you some exciting news about my classroom this year.  Round Rock ISD is piloting year-two of an initiative that turns one more classroom in each RRISD school into a digital 1:1 classroom.  My classroom has been chosen to be a Phase 2 Next Generation Digital Classroom for Cedar Ridge High School. As a pilot program, our goal is to explore the unlimited possibilities of technology integration to enhance student achievement, increase engagement, transform teaching and learning, and help make decisions regarding the next steps of technology integration.  Our class will be getting a class set of iPads and a Mimio board for use IN CLASS.  These devices WILL NOT go home.  P
