For my ERDG class, I am tutoring a grade 2 student that has difficulty reading. I got to meet my student on Tuesday and after administering various tests I determined his reading level. Going from there, I had an idea of what I wanted to do with him tomorrow in our next session. When I went looking online for activities to do with my student, I found some amazing sites that had great interactive games that even dealt exactly with the concept I wanted to work with him on! Amazing, right?...umm...wrong. I don't have access to a computer during the tutoring time and therefore I somehow have to create these online activities in a pen/paper format. I'm not complaining, actually, quite the opposite. I suprised even myself at how dependant I am become on technology! I was actually stumped at how to teach without the use of interactive websites, and that scares me a bit. I read in Amanda L's blog that she wanted to go a whole day without using technology in her teaching, and I think that is something I might have to strive for. Balance is key, and I might be coming a bit too dependent on the good 'ol internet. I guess you know it's getting bad when a tech. junkie even scares herself!
....oh, btw, if anyone wants these fabulous websites I found, here are the links, just in case you ever get a chance to use them ;)
