· What thoughts, ideas and learnings did you take away from the PLC Showcase?
The Showcase was something that allowed myself and other teachers to meet and share. Since we were using QR codes to demonstrate different activities from using it, a pondering question was answered by another teacher who I don't see about installing a software to enable laptops to read QR codes using the webcamera. I immediately went online and google searched a QR reader for Macs and tested it out. The QR reader software worked but it still has its slowdowns. Nonetheless, this shows possibilities for our students and classrooms. If I didn't know this information through meeting this teacher I wouldn't have the drive to explore and know about it today.
Some other things I took out from the showcase is a writing piece that will allow my ESL beginners to start writing language. I found out about some websites that I do plan to use such as glogster, animato, and educreator.
· Thinking back over your PLC work this semester, what were some of the lessons you have learned?
l learned that you don't know possibilities until you try especially with student activities. When technology doesn't work, find another way to accommodate.
· How might the information gained in questions 1 and 2 impact our professional work?
The information that were discovered and learned stretched me and my teacher repertoire to be better than who I was and to use my learning in the classroom so mistakes are less frequent and student success is more.
