I’m so fortunate to work in the school district I work in. I am able to pursue what I’m most passionate about; technology.

This year is my “review” year. I chose to do a yearlong project with my students. I chose to do a technology based project because it is my passion.

My proposed topic:

• Using Seesaw to Teach Students Responsible and Respectful Social Media Manners
• At the end of the year, survey the parents in class (use a Google survey) to see how the use of social media (Seesaw, Twitter, Schoolwires) in the classroom has changed their way of thinking and or improved their conversations with their child about the school day

Statement of Goals and Objectives:

Social media is an important part of our lives, and, like it or hate it, it is important to teach the fundamentals of responsible and effective social media use.

Goal:

• To teach students the basics of responsible social media use in the classroom through the use of the app Seesaw.

• Teacher will blog about teaching the blogging process to students in the form of a diary to record thoughts and activities throughout the year on a blog
