Digital Meanderings: June 2015
http://malchowsreflections.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Binders, binders and more binders. Ok, call me crazy, but I think the older I get, the more OCD I am becoming or maybe it's just that I like things to match and look nice. I take a lot of pride in my classroom and strive to make it comfortable and homey. So, binders don't exactly make my room homey and comfortable, but every time I sit down at my desk to start lesson planning and I see my random colored binders with an eclectic variety of inserts I can't stand it! I hate to hope f...

Digital Meanderings: Twitter in the Classroom
http://malchowsreflections.blogspot.com/2015/07/twitter-in-classroom.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Twitter in the Classroom. And even a pumpkin seed counting activity via Twitter with a class in Oshawa, Canada. You can read about that experience in this post. As technology brings the world closer together, we as teachers also need to get on board and bring our classes together. We have so much to learn from each other! We live in a time that if you're not connected, you're missing out on so much the world has to offer you. If you haven't used Twitter with your class, I highly.

Wednesday, July 1, 2015. ISTE 2015, I mean, #notatISTE2015. Is going on right now in Philadelphia and as much as I wish I could be there, I just couldn't swing it- financially or time-wise, so I am participating virtually from the comfort of my own home through the #notatiste15 Google. Community that Jen Wagner has started. This has been a great way to collaborate and have a little fun at the same time. Jen has put together an ISTE challenge. I learned about a new app called Periscope. With a busy schedu...

Digital Meanderings: April 2015
http://malchowsreflections.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. Poetry Month, Bubbles and Word Clouds. We've been working on learning a little bit more about poetry this month and what better way than to blow bubbles! Well, actually we blew bubbles to experience the different colors, sounds, and feel of bubbles which in turn gave us background knowledge for our poems. We used a template for our poems which had us thinking about adjectives to describe our bubbles, action words and similes. Sunday, April 19, 2015. ITunes U- Math Integration.
