Quality Questioning

QUALITY QUESTIONING RESPONSES

Chapter 1

From the chart on page 9, how will you commit to this cycle of questioning for your future classroom? Why? Justify your answer.

In my future classroom I will consider:

· the focus of my questions, using academic vocabulary and higher order questions
· wait time and not skipping ahead to find a student who knows

Life is an adventure!!

Technology-

Technology plays such a huge role in how children access knowledge. The ever-changing digital world has created endless possibilities in learning. I am very interested in technology that aids young children in the classroom. Adaptive technology can empower students with special needs. Devices like the Trackball device, aids youngsters in learning to use the computer mouse. Tobii Assistive Technology is a computer that uses gaze interaction to allow those with disabilities to use only eye movement to control the computer. For the artists in my classroom, Zimmer Twins is an interactive web tool that allows children to write, illustrate and animate their own stories. The Class Dojo is a great reward system for teachers to award points for students displaying good behavior. Currently, the only technology I use on a daily basis is my computer and cell phone. My desire is to become a teacher in Pre-K. Helping children build foundational skills in their learning would be so rewarding.
