Subject/Grade

Reason
Lana Cardenas Academy Spanish/K-5

Mrs. Cardenas uses her Mac computer to enhance student engagement and learning. At the beginning of the year she used I Photo to take a picture of every child. Then they used the speech bubble to write their name, grade, teacher, and team in Spanish. Those are displayed on the wall of the classroom. She videoed teachers using facial expressions and Spanish phrases to describe feelings and emotions. She used this as a teaching tool to present this info to the students. Now students are videoing themselves sharing their Spanish and personal information. She shows the \”movies\” to the class when students have completed the assignment to model correct pronunciation and display student learning. The whole student body benefits.

And

As a teacher of kindergarten through 5th grade Spanish students Mrs. Cardenas continually utilizes our new iMac computers to enhance their learning experiences . For some groups, she films examples and creates dvd’s to help students practice their skills. She also allows students to take pictures of themselves and use them to learn Spanish vocabulary…5th grade classes create and film commercials in Spanish that are collected on a dvd to distribute to all 5th grade students, also. Mrs. Cardenas truly deserves this award because she uses technology in all areas of instruction in exciting, engaging, and innovative ways.
Robin Combs Kerr Math/6 Robin is constantly searching out ways to use video streaming and different computer web sites not just in her classroom, but she shares her found resources with the other math teachers. Robin is also our "go to" girl when any of us in sixth grade need a little extra support when using technology in our classrooms.
Mary Tune Frazier Math & Science/K-5 Mary’s use of the digital cameras she won to engage students in content-based projects is impressive. The students are learning AND having fun.
Jeanette Douglass Kerr SS/6 Ms. Douglas excels at using United Streaming clips to bring alive topics students are studying in Social Studies. In a class where learning about world cultures is the focus, it is imperative to have relevant, engaging information about the regions being studied. Ms. Douglas enables her students to experience the world using technology and is a master at challenging them to become aware of current world issues.
Cathy Maeir Frazier Math/3 Using her presentation station for math problem solving and Unitedstreaming video showing.
Happy Modisette Frazier Math/4 Using her presentation station in math problem solving strategies.
Tracy Arriola Frazier Math & Science/5 Using her presentation station in math problem solving and science.
Amanda Stowe BHS English/9 Amanda often utilizes technology in her classroom. She continually creates and/or shows PowerPoint slide shows as a visual to accompany new literary terms. In addition, she has located and shown short clips of literary selections such as Vincent Price narrating Poe and other sorts of clips. Amanda seems to keep things interesting for her students and shares what she finds with the other English I teachers.
Chris Hill BHS Applied Math/9 Mr. Hill has a fantastic blog site at http://bisdblogs.net/communities/chill that he uses to help teach his students math. The students have logged over 200 comments to the blog and are going strong! What a great way to engage students and use technology in math!
