The website below gives three ideas for integrating technology during the first week of school. I really like the one where students interview different people around the school, such as the principal, secretary, librarian, etc. However, if students are not able to do it, I would modify it in a way that I would do the recordings and create a video that introduces the school personnel. This is a fun and creative way to get students oriented with important individuals around the school.

I like that idea. It is good for ESL students, as well. They can practice their language skills with people at school in addition to their classmates and teacher. This is just a right activity for the students because they might be a bit too nervous to interview total strangers in the beginning of the school year. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGood idea Tish, Thank you for sharing. That is a good way to integrate technology in our classroom during the first week. And yes we can definitely modify it to meet to the needs of our students. I am going to add this website to my bookmarks.
