Q&A
Interview
responses
This is Mallory Stradling,
teacher of five years. Mallory
has taught both 7th grade
English Language Arts and 8th
grade Social Studies in
Arizona.
1.) How do you incorporate
technology in your classroom?
I incorporate technology on a
daily basis and can divide my
uses into two groups. The first
group is how I teach using
technology, this includes news
videos for students (CNN 10),
misc. YouTube videos, slideshow
presentations, smart-board
activities, projecting items on the
screen and modeling to the
students, class Snapchat etc. The
2nd group of technologies is how
the students use it. The students
use technology through a chrome
book by typing assignments,
completing hyperdoc
assignments, creating
slideshows, researching
information, accessing school
email, being a part of Google
Classroom, playing games
through sites like kahoot and
quizzes, etc.
2.) Do the students seemed
more involved when you do
integrate technology? Yes and
no. My students are so used to
technology in their lives that they
don't see completing
assignments via the chrome
books as a novelty, but as the
norm. However, when it is
something they are creating
using technology, or if it is in the
form of a game/competition they
do seem more motivated and
involved.
3.) What are some of your
classroom routines? Some of
my classroom routines include
Bellwork, Student News,
anticipatory sets that happen
throughout the lesson,
