EduClipped

Having previously used Educlipper to search for Kindergarten content, I had trouble finding age appropriate materials that rivaled Pinterests abundant resources. From my experiences, Educlipper appears to be a site geared toward older students who access websites independently. In hopes of finding materials to support our upcoming units in Kindergarten, I began my search.

What are you looking for?

Language Arts- prediction, characters, setting and plot (Nothing)

Math- geometry: plane and solid shapes (Nothing)

Social Studies- Now and Long Ago (Nothing)

Science- Matter (Nothing)

With each search I found information that supported upper elementary classrooms, but not my Kindergarten students. So, I decided to hone my search on mobile technology, in hopes of finding information to support my next staff meeting presentation. So far, we have discussed digital citizenship, Educreations and iMovie. My next step is to challenge the app frenzy with some authority. Like everyone, I once became overly excited about the skill based apps available on the iPad. However, now that I’ve worked with these devices for three years in the classroom, my goal is to work with apps that support 21st century learning skills. I hope to redefine learning (SAMR Model) while students curate content that reinforces critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration. Through resources found on Educlipper, I will provide my colleagues with the support to develop rich learning environments that redefines learning.
