The Amazing Janet
October 1, 2007 | |
One of our Kindergarten teachers, Janet D., was a self-described “technology timid” teacher for many years. She is a veteran Kindergarten teacher, who went with her team to Italy 2 years ago to study the Reggio Emilia method of early childhood education. As a result of that life-altering trip, they are revamping their entire kindergarten program to incorporate many “Reggio-like” elements into our school.
For Janet, documenting learning in her classroom on a daily basis became an important goal, and she asked for help in getting started. What began as a 1-2 hour process last fall has now been whittled down to a 20 minute/day committment on her part. The steps include taking digital photos, transferring them to her laptop, dragging them into a template she’s created in Keynote, typing up the description and student quotes, saving as a .pdf and uploading the file onto her classroom web page. Here are a few examples:
