Ms. Dragonsinger,
This was educational for me as well as the class. I had never even heard of a Fire Poi before. This is yet another example of how important blogging with other instructors is. It not only gives you ideas as to how to teach your students, but also introduces you to new technology.
Thank you,

Another beautiful use of technology. Although, the students were not able to experience Fire Poi in person you were able to bring it to them digitally. I like that you used the interactive smart board for your storyboard and modeled “how to” writing with them. The subject matter and process you used seems so much more motivating and meaningful than the traditional instruction manual method. I have enjoyed reading your posts and learning more about your region of the world. You have given me many ideas when it comes to using technology in the classroom, and I plan to visit your site often to see what exciting activities you are completing with your students.

What a great example scaffolding learning using ICT. It is also a great first step to creating digital stories.
