HMS Advanced Technology Class

Mrs. Yoder and I are co-teaching an Advanced Technology course at the middle school.  We are excited to introduce a group of students to some new technology for our building including: coding, Scratch animation, stop animation, digital photography, audio editing with Audacity, and Digital Citizenship.  We are using Blogger to house our class website, feel free to visit it to see what we are doing at http://hmsadvtech.blogspot.com/p/videos.html.  We are having "Follow-Up Fridays" for our students to complete self-reflections of their activities that week.  Reflection is an important part of learning and growth that is often pushed to the side or looked over.  Here is a great website for reflecting in learning for students as well as teachers: http://www.teachthought.com/learning/44-prompts-merging-reflective-thinking-blooms-taxonomy/.  Check out this very interesting video linked on our class blog about "Teens & Tech":
