Mrs. McDowell's instructions for K-W-L

We will use this Padlet a few times during the semester. Here is where you can communicate with the class using a KWL.

Your WordArt/EdWordle will tell us what you already KNOW about Educational Technology. Now tell us what you WANT to learn about Ed Tech and what you have already LEARNED from our first module together.

I would like to learn how to utilize every available resource to further the students that I am teaching education. I love using the word art as a teacher can say use 20 positive words to use about yourself and they can be seen through this word art app.

I love that, I would not have thought of that. Having the kids each come up with a positive word and using the word art for it would be so neat and a great thing to do the first week of school or so as you are trying to set that bond as a class. I will keep this idea in the back of my head for when I have my own class some day, thank you so much!

I want to consider how to integrate technology into the classroom in a way that will actually benefit students when they graduate, and consider how it can be over-used. Generally, I want to know what I should be expecting tech-wise when I enter the classroom- what's expected of educators, and how can that vary?

In this class I hope to learn how to make things look fun for the kids how to tie visual and educational things together that will really pull in the kids and make learning fun for them. I also hope to learn how to use technology programs better because I am not a strong technology user.

In this class I hope to learn how to use different technologies and resources to best help within a classroom. I hope to learn how to not only make things easy for the students but also how to make it fun whilst still learning the criteria. I also want to know what is used the most by teachers and what works best for everyone as well as how many different tools I would be using day to day in the classroom.

I hope to learn more about using technology even if I don't like using it. I am old school, and think kids are on technology to much.

I feel the same way I want to learn what programs are best for the age group I am working towards and what would make things fun and engaged. Using the teachers around you is a great resource, the school I sub at every grade is a "team" but on Wednesdays they all come together for a group meeting to share ideas of what is working best for them and what is not working. I hope this class will be like that in a way so when we get out into the field, we already have a base to start at.

I want to learn the best ways to integrate technology into my future classroom, as technology is becoming a huge part of the world today. I would also like to learn how I can utilize technology with different learning levels in the classroom and adapt it to fit my students' needs, which will benefit me as I go into special education.

I want to learn more ways to use technology in Education. I am not the most tech savvy, so any and all learning would be beneficial to me. I have only recently done anything with AI, so it is something I have recently learned how to use.

# data[].attributes.body
As much as I like paper and books, it is still exciting to learn about technology. Even though everyone my age is very familiar with technology, I just never really understood how to use it, so it is a process. But I am excited to dive deeper into how to use it for education.

Some things that I would like to know, would be some different resources that can help me in the future as I become a teacher (learning, studying, etc). I know about some different types of technology that can help me in the classroom, but it wouldn’t hurt to know more. I would also love to learn how we can take a lesson and turn it into half technology and some hands on. Someone in this class said learning about what programs are best for the age group that I would teach. I agree with this, I want/ would like a 4th/5th position, they know some about technology but are still in the learning curve with it. I know how to make some presentations, I am familiar with AI, I know all about my computer, and all the commons things you can do with them. I would say I’m knowledgeable but I could know a lot more.

I want to learn about educational technology to further assist diverse learners in my future classrooms. Websites like WordArt and Hypothesis are wonderful steppingstones toward a more supportive teaching style. I intend to teach upper-elementary, so new, colorful, and inclusive websites will be a cornerstone of my teaching. Padlet is a rather fresh concept to me, I have used it about three times, so this is something new I have learned from our first module. I find this website useful because it gives students the opportunity to voice their thoughts/opinions, while being able to remain anonymous. This can be vital to those students who avoid sharing because of the attention they do not wish to receive. I believe Padlet would be a very useful tool in my future classroom!

I'm interested in finding ways to effectively include technology in the art classroom to help students develop creative and practical skills. However, I also want to think about the possibility of technology being overused or taking away from traditional hands-on art experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to learn about the most reliable and easy to navigate technology based tools to better my future classroom and assignments. In addition id love to learn new ways to put these new found tools into real life settings. While I love learning about new tools I do prefer the old ways of pencil,, paper, and books honestly very easy to navigate and easy to read/understand.

This is a cool website. I've never heard of Padlet until now. This is a website I will write down for future use in classrooms. Out of all the EDU classes I've taken so far- there's been a few times I've been introduced to different websites that I had no idea existed for educational purposes. This is one of those times. When I was in High School back in 2014, they didn't have Chromebooks or iPads for the kids. If we needed a computer we were to go to the computer lab in the library. I honestly get jealous at times because of how much has changed since I've been out of school. There are a few questions that I do have about technology in education like it is today: How can technology be used to personalize learning for each student while also supporting collaboration in the classroom? What tools are most effective in balancing individual learning needs with group projects and peer interaction?
