How do you currently use technology in your classroom?
As a school counselor, I use various forms of technology in both large and small group guidance sessions. I help each of the eighth grade students with whom I work create accounts on CFNC (College Foundation of North Carolina) and complete the career interest survey on that site. I use videos of scenarios involving conflicts and problems as a starting point for discussion and activities intended to help my students develop conflict resolution or decision-making skills. I am hoping to maintain a wikispace next year where I can post useful resources for my students, such as links to websites about study skills, self-guided activities about anger management, etc., and announce upcoming events or small group sessions. I use email to communicate with students, teachers, and administration and I maintain all of my student records electronically. Powerpoints are useful when discussing topics like high school course requirements with students. Our guidance department is hoping to utilize a self-guided conflict resolution program (on CD-ROM) next year as an alternative to suspension for some of our students.
