Technology is increasingly present in our 21st century students’
schools, homes, and communities. I am a middle school counselor and I have
found it easy to use technology in my guidance classes to capture my students’
attention. My technology skills have
moved from Power Point to the mobi to hover cam and now Ipad. Listed below are
several apps I use in my guidance counselor classes:
Emptico app on Ipad has the appearance of an ordinary memory game. This
app helps my students to increase theirs emotional vocabulary.
Sprigeo app allows my students to
report bullying and school incidents anonymously to me.
Professor Garfield Cyberbullying app is used to helps students
identifies bullying behavior and provide strategies for dealing with bullies
(such as how important it is to seek the support of a trusted adult).
I use AutoRap app when I require my students to watch a movie (Character
Ed, Drug prevention, Drop-out prevention), and take notes. At the end of the
movie, I give the students an opportunity to put their notes to rap using
AutoRap app.
Wow! I didn't know there were so many apps available for counselors. I think the Sprigeo app sounds great. I love that it allows kids to report incidents anonymously! I bet you have more incidents reported because of that feature. The AutoRap app sounds cool! I bet it could be used for any content area! Thanks for sharing!!!
