7th Grade - Personalized Learning Pushback by Tara https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh Made with an aura of mystery en-us 2017-04-06 01:24:39 UTC 2025-11-23 12:55:50 UTC hello@padlet.com Scenario thelkowski https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165028505 Mr. Stone is a 7th grade social studies teachers who is at a PL school.  He has attended required training on iPads, software and Google Classroom this year.  He's frustrated and a little angry with all the instructional changes.  He hasn't bought into PL and wants to know why it's HIS job to teach students how to use technology.  ]]> 2017-04-06 01:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165028505 Technology is so embedded in everything we do - in and out of school/work life. We ALL have a responsibility in this, and often times, it's the students that are our biggest teachers. Perhaps we can help Mr. Stone get out of the mindset that he needs to "teach technology." It's more about providing opportunities for his students to utilize skills that foster the 4Cs. Giving the students a choice in which tools they use to learn or demonstrate their learning will be important. Maybe we can provide ideas for what this looks like...give students the option to use iMovie to record an advertisement for the community (or create a poster advertisement using Pages) or a how-to for another student using Explain Everything or act out a scene or write a song that is video recorded to assess their understanding of a concept. https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165171551 2017-04-06 15:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165171551 Forms https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165172141 Create an exit ticket or warm up in Google Forms to find out what students already know about a topic. Once he sees the real time data, he can experiment more w/ Forms or other apps.

Also, create an assignment in Classroom and share it out to students. See what they come up with!]]> 2017-04-06 15:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165172141 old school jb_reynolds https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165172313 Could it be equated some to how we used to teach students how to use a textbook. ie a textbook walk looking at the glossary, index, side bars etc.]]> 2017-04-06 15:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165172313 https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165172874 Perhaps he could observe successful PL in one of his peers classrooms. This could be a starting point for discussion and possible movement on his part.]]> 2017-04-06 15:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165172874 It is ok to start slow and really his students probably already know more than he does. It is ok to give student's choice and let them demonstrate knowledge with technology instead of him "teaching it to everyone". Give him a list of apps/sites that students can use to demonstrate mastery of content. https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165173551 2017-04-06 15:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165173551 Teach the students and have them spread the word. They love to be helpers. https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165173699 2017-04-06 15:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165173699 Get teacher to share what his technology comfort level is. Then offer support to him to increase his confidence. https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165173816 2017-04-06 15:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/thelkowski/ialgcolxlmwh/wish/165173816
