Current Use of Technology in the Elementary Classroom by https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab MEDUC504 en-us 2016-07-31 12:19:16 UTC 2025-01-28 12:23:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Popplet  misswhite87 https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117241225 An app used to gather ideas and display them visually, using words and pictures (Popplet for School, n.d.).  (Best suited in classrooms with use of an iPad). ]]> 2016-07-31 13:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117241225 Great for Teachers and Students misswhite87 https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117241386 Popplet is great for teachers and students. Students are able to practice/learn different uses of technology, and display thoughts in a fun visual way (Popplet for School, n.d.). Teachers love how the app keeps students engaged, up-to-date on using technology, and popplet is a clear, organized, way to show students thoughts on subject matter (Popplet for School, n.d.). ]]> 2016-07-31 13:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117241386 How Popplet supports student learning misswhite87 https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117241906 Popplet is a fun way for teachers to see what the students have learned (Popplet for School, n.d.). For example, if the lesson for the day is to learn about the moon and other planets in space, the teacher can have children create a popplet on a specific planet and what they learned/researched about the planet. Then students can show their work to the class and explain what their chart shows. The teacher can then asses each student work and see if he/she covered the targeted lesson objectives. ]]> 2016-07-31 13:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117241906 TPACK components  misswhite87 https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117242066 TCK - Popplet enhances content knowledge by   visually displaying researched findings on popplet for review of understanding (Popplet for School, n.d.). 
PCK - Popplet is a good way to practice understanding, gather facts, and learn visually from students own findings (Popplet for School, n.d.). Popplets can even be emailed or printed out for further study (Popplet for School, n.d.).
TPK - The technological use of Popplet not only enhances students ability to use technology but also allows them to be able to complete tasks independently, or in groups (Popplet for School, n.d.). Having students gather their own research and display it visually, how best it appeals to them, will help them retain information learned.

Socrative is an exciting, organized, way for teachers to engage students in learning, as well as assess them for understanding with quizzes and games (We have lift-off! Socrative PRO is here, n.d.). It also allows teachers to connect with other teachers to chat, share quizzes, and/or resources on content knowledge (Types of Formative Assessments & Tools, n.d.).  ]]> 2016-07-31 14:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117243074 How Socrative supports student learning misswhite87 https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117243260 Socrative is an interactive way to assess student learning (We have lift-off! Socrative PRO is here, n.d.). For example, . teachers can give quizzes or exit-tickets to asses learning after the lesson, or they can create a fun quiz to engage students during the lesson, such as "Space Race" (We have lift-off! Socrative PRO is here, n.d.). Space race is a group game that encourages students to work together to come up with answers to questions as quickly as possible (We have lift-off!

Socrative PRO is here, n.d.).
PCK - Socrative games and quizzes are great ways to practice and recall information learned in class (We have lift-off! Socrative PRO is here, n.d.).
TPK - The technological use of Socrative helps students to be able to use technology independently while learning in the classroom. ]]> 2016-07-31 15:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117243363 Apple iPad misswhite87 https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117243903 A hand-held device that allows a user to search the internet, access various applications for games, shopping, entertainment, etc. (The apple iPad is the most popular technology tool in classrooms). ]]> 2016-07-31 15:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117243903 Great for Teachers and Students  misswhite87 https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117244041 The Apple iPad is great for teachers and students.

"They simplify the collection and retention of materials" by eliminating paper and the excuse of "I forgot my assignment" (Advantages/Disadvantages of the iPad Classroom. (n.d.). ]]> 2016-07-31 15:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117244196 TPACK Components  misswhite87 https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117244258 TCK - iPads enhance content knowledge by providing access to a variety of apps, which in turn is being used by teachers to asses student understanding.

PCK- Apps on iPads are great ways to practice information learned, to make sure all objectives of the lesson are met.

TPK - The technological aspect of iPads are great in many ways. Students are able to learn how to use technology and navigate independently. They are also able to find research and learn how to access the web for various assignments, which will help them in college and every day life. ]]> 2016-07-31 15:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117244258 How is this technology used in Elementary Education & how does it relate to class misswhite87 https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117245076 I feel that all of these technologies listed above will work very well in the Elementary Education system. Popplet and Socrative are relatively easy to use, a great starter for young children in integrating technology in the classroom. iPads are also a great form of technology to use, as some children have access to smart phones or iPads at home, they are natives of tablets. I also feel the discussions on canvas, and in class, as well as previous assignments has set us up for this assignment, with researching various current technologies in classrooms. We previously discussed and researched about internet safety, which is something I considered subconsciously when picking 3 technologies to discuss. We researched how to find the best websites to educate us on what technologies to use, and we also applied our knowledge by using various technologies ourselves, to see how they actually work. I believe all of the previous tasks helped me to complete this task with a better understanding of using technology in the classroom.]]> 2016-07-31 16:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117245076 References  misswhite87 https://padlet.com/misswhite87/dbzsztjoanab/wish/117245446 2nd Technology Showcase.
