"Use technology to create, adapt and personalize learning experiences1 that foster independent learning2 and accommodate learner differences and needs"

I picked this standard to comment on because it was one of my goals this year to find ways to make learning more personalized in my classroom. There are a couple of things I did:
1) Created an EdCamp on Cyberbullying (students self-selected topics, taught, and participated in an EdCamp, it varied from class period to class period and allowed them to explore the topics important to them).
2) HyperDoc choice boards (I gathered information to use on a topic and then let students choose  how they wanted to learn about it)
3) MasteryPaths in Canvas (students utilized MasteryPaths to be able to learn content at a pace and in a mastery based way that worked for them).

In my classroom we use technology to do independent learning often. A typical week consists of me introducing new concept one day, working through it together the next, and then the students exploring the concept on their own. This has been especially true with home learning. I love using Nearpod for this in class and self paced learning method.

Blended learning allows students the opportunity to learn in different ways.  Blended learning can be used on a daily basis in small group rotations, as well as provided differentiation for students, and lends itself easily to individual and group project based assignments.  In designing instruction for younger students, I think it is also important to consider the device the student will be working on. For example, if a student has difficulty with the keyboard or track pad, using a tablet with apps might be preferable to typing in an address. When we transitioned to Canvas, it was important for me to have my first graders be able to maneuver the course on their own, if parents were not available to read each step for them. This then entailed creating icons and links, as well as video instruction about how to use the linked icons and pages in Canvas.

# data[].attributes.body
Students can learn more when they use technology to expand their learning. Technology offers a way for students to delve deeper and add other ways of learning about a specific topic. It also allows them to be self-guided and further research topics they are interested in. A teacher can give them guidelines and concepts that the student can then apply to what they are interested in. For example a math teacher may teach percentages and a student who loves to shop might research how discount percentage clothing stores works.

I'm dipping my toe into the independent learning waters and so far, it has been very successful!  Student choice becomes an important part of their learning, and asking them to show me what they've learned has exceeded my expectations!  It takes a lot more work to do this than it is to create a worksheet, though.  An unexpected benefit of online school was the ability to give students experience with a variety of tools and then let them choose how to show their learning.

Learner Differences and Needs
In the Dual Language Immersion Classroom, it is not uncommon to find students who struggle with the Target Language.  Technology comes in handy when we have to design learning experiences for targeted learners.  Usually, technology keeps them engaged and wanting to learn more, and the data/instant feedback that comes from some of the tech programs enables me to assess my students skills and progress immediately, and to build my teaching appropriately, based on the needs of my targeted learners.

I love the concept of the personalized learning experience. One of the unexpected joys of going to digital learning for 4th quarter was that I was able to see the creativity and enthusiasm from some of my students who are generally more introverted in the classroom. I gave them options of projects to complete related to standards and it was great to see how some of them stepped up and showed their personalities because they felt a little less vulnerable on technology than they did in the classroom.

This year I used a Nearpod to conduct a science lesson and loved it. The students and I were able to engage with each other during the whole-group lesson but they were much more engaged  than if I had simply stood in front of them and lectured. I loved that I was also able to incorporate practice time into the lesson after the whole-group instruction, and they were given immediate feedback. We were then able to use the information they had learned to conduct a science experiment. Using technology to enhance the lesson made it a stronger lesson overall.

Julie Palmer Gnotta - We found that many of our students responded really well to choice and extended time during 4th quarter online teaching/learning.

Sarah Andersen (Park Lane ES)- This has been a really important point that I am continuing to learn and work on. It's good to have tech, but it's more important to use tech in a way that enriches what they students are doing. As a designer of the lessons, I need to look any think, "is this tech really supporting my students in accomplishing something they couldn't do without this tech?" To have an Ipad or chromebook is great, but making sure that students are being taught to use them to increase their learning and abilities is a goal we need to have in the forefront when we play to use technology. Tech activities need to be enriching and purposeful to support diverse needs and learners.

Lyndee McKay (HHS) For demonstration of competency and structuring of work, my IB students are going to create a portolio online this year. In the past, we have done it hard copy, but we do so much work on canvas that it makes more sense to keep it digital. It will be good practice for them as well and will allow them to easily access and see the competency of their writing and how they have grown throughout the year.

Emily Gonzalez. Teachers can revise and improve the lesson plans they use each year by challenging themselves to use technology to improve upon it. For example, instead of doing poster projects at the end of every unit, it can easily be transferred to an online format with google slides where students can equally distribute the work (ie not just one person writes everything down and draws because there isn’t enough physical space to have multiple people work on the poster at the same time).

Technology is a great way to differentiate learning and provide access to all students. When you allow students to create a presentation using slides, collaborate on documents using word, or other software platforms, you are putting power into the hands of the students. Depending on the student's ability, it can be scaffolded for their need. The diverse capabilities of the programs allows for students to use technology based on their needs and abilities.

 Independent Learning and Learner Needs - Barbara Blaser In my classroom, students are encouraged to become independent learners. I know they are all on various levels academically, so  I begin by teaching the basic foundation to the students, modeling the steps and tools.  Then I support them with the process to accomplish their project or activity. They work at their own pace to complete the activity,  while having access to various   accommodations that are available for them in class and online.  This might include various reading abilities, sentence frames or specific resources available. I also use "teacher specialists" occasionally when it will support certain populations. I need to make sure that I have all the steps and resources ready and available for their use.

Authentic Learning activities are important in student learning.  Students don't want to do busy work, they want something that they can see is useful and will help them learn.  In my classroom I can use technology to help me provide these authentic learning activities.  Instead of merely reading information about a historical place in a textbook, we can go on a virtual field trip to see and experience that place.  It will help the student visualize what they need to.

Much of what I have to say has probably already been said! I would like to think that I already completed #7 in the Designer list during the closure: "Create innovative digital learning environments." However, with my lack of tech ability, I did the best I could on such short notice. I am looking forward to learning more about how to enhance my classroom lessons using technology. The biggest roadblock is having the time to learn how to use the different programs. Not all programs lend themselves to use in the lower grades. With guidance from our tech experts, I hope to learn which programs are best for First Grade so that I can focus my time and energy on learning those programs.  Ultimately, my goal in my classroom will be to utilize technology to enhance or create lessons that are effective, authentic, and engaging.

The more say that students have in what and how they are learning, the more engaged they will be in what they are learning.  I think the key to this standard is creating personalized learning experiences.  No two students are going to learn the same way.

This standard was really important during Online Learning because I had to design my own Canvas course for my 2nd Grade students to use while they were at home learning. I tried my best to make it student friendly and easy enough that they could navigate through the course by themselves if needed. I am glad that we had the opportunity to use Canvas because now when we go back to in school learning I know I can use this with my students since they are now familiar with the program. I will also be able to adapt if needed based on the feedback I will get from my students in the classroom

Shauna McClendon-Technology comes in handy when it comes to differentiation within both my ELA and ELD classes.  I use it most commonly in my ELD classes when I upload differentiated articles onto Canvas based on my student's reading abilities and have them record themselves reading the text, so they can listen to themselves once they have completed the assignment. Without technology I wouldn't have the opportunity to provide my students with multiple versions of the text, nor would I have the ability to create more engaging lessons that keep them motivated.  On top of this technology offers great opportunities to use problem/project based authentic lessons in my classroom to get my students designing and collaborating!

I love the idea of students taking ownership over their own learning. This has been partially the case during this distance learning period, but it has clearly been a struggle for most students. As teachers (I teach high school, where this is more realistic) we need to help our students take more responsibility and initiative in their own learning. This could mean giving students more choices in a HOW they learn material, providing more flexibility in content learned, providing multiple pathways to success in a Canvas course, for example, instead of having each students complete the exact same assignments.

My tech theatre class is generally a very hands on class that attracts many diverse learners. When we moved online I wanted to develop a project that was tied to our standards, could be adaptive for different learners, and was the kind of hands-on, project-based learning my students expect in that class. I adapted a design project I had sometimes used in the past to work in an online format with what students would have available. I had them select a song that told a story and create a model for a dance concert for that song using materials they had at home. Students presented virtually at several points in the project to share what they were working on and to share their final projects. Through this project students became very comfortable presenting and sharing screens in Google Meet, submitting assignments in Canvas, researching online, and participating in online discussions. It was a fun way for my students to learn a lot of new technology and still work on our standards.
