CEMaT Ed Tech Connection

Two small groups of students from Britton-Macon Area High School and Adrian’s Michener Elementary traveled with their teachers to the State Capitol building in Lansing on November 14th to showcase some of the technology-enhanced projects that they have been engaged with in their classrooms. Government dignitaries, other students, educators, and media personnel walked the halls of the Capitol to see the amazing ways technology is being used in classrooms around the State. Each student team was responsible for explaining their projects to those who stopped at their table.

Two Britton-Macon students, under the tutelage of teacher Jon Musolf and student-teacher Kayla White, demonstrated how they use dynamic geometry software on a laptop and graphing calculator to support their learning. They also showed how they interact via their classroom blog to extend learning outside of class.

The team of four from Michener Elementary, who came with their teacher Lisa Overton, also highlighted how they use their classroom blog to inform parents of classroom activities, discuss topics of value, and post and respond to students’ writing. In addition, they displayed how they created a multimedia project in Photo Story to compare the jobs of school workers to those of people who work in local and state government.
