https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6 Preparing learners for the future en-us 2019-07-24 19:32:46 UTC 2020-04-07 16:06:08 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png mbeliveau1 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372713162 I chose this standard as the one I think I am the most comfortable with because it deals with setting goals. At our school we are required to have students set goals and then reflect on those goals. I have not embedded much technology with this as to date but that is one of my own goals for this year. I have a digital data notebook for each student that I am going to have them track their goals. This class is propelling me in the right direction to include the technology component so that students become empowered using technology to reflect and begin to customize their learning.]]> 2019-07-30 17:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372713162 mbeliveau1 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372713666 I chose this standard as the one I am not comfortable with but want to become comfortable. This standard focuses on students becoming problem solvers. I think this flows smoothly with the first standard. I like that it has students collect data, analyze data, and represent data digitally. I want to help students become proficient with data from the goals they set.]]> 2019-07-30 17:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372713666 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372733664 I am most comfortable with this standard. My students practice setting goals and choosing tools to achieve those goals. We practice troubleshooting and they have a choice with many assignments on how to reach objectives. They use technology to seek feedback and use it to collaborate to increase comprehension or to improve their writing. ]]> 2019-07-30 21:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372733664 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372734028 This is the standard I would like to become more comfortable with.  This standard asks students to use a variety of technologies within a design process to
identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative
solutions. I think this is a tall order, but an achievable one. Students need more practice solving open ended problems. I think that is what really makes up this standard. ]]> 2019-07-30 21:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372734028 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372865964 2019-07-31 22:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372865964 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372866677 2019-07-31 22:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/372866677 kdemers https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373316058 This is the standard I am most comfortable with. At the beginning of the year, the students are taught the importance of being a digital citizen. Their rights and responsibilities are spelled out and they promise to act in ways that are both legal and ethical by signing a contract.]]> 2019-08-05 19:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373316058 kdemers https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373316304 This is a standard I look at as a goal. I would love for my students to move on from looking at or commenting on digital information to creating and innovating their own information using a design process.]]> 2019-08-05 19:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373316304 jchaffin1 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373342441 This is the standard that I have some comfort and experience with. As a writing teacher my students are sometimes looking for information online or even looking for creative aspects/images to add to their work. We do spend some time on this( I teach 3rd grade ) and on how to find good sources.]]> 2019-08-06 00:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373342441 jchaffin1 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373342805 I do not feel very comfortable or experienced with this standard. Although students do set goals for learning with me as their guide and according to our curriculum/standards. The students are not setting these goals with technology in mind. My students have not been involved in leveraging technology to set their own goals or as a means to demonstrate their competencies. I would like to find ways to help empower my students to take this type of responsibility and think about the technology that we have access to when setting our learning goals.

Students in my accelerated math class work on a year long Genius Hour project where they work towards answering an essential question that they have designed. They utilize technology to evaluate information and other resources in relation to their topic. Students also use a variety of tools and methods to share their findings and the answer they found to their essential question. All of their projects are related to real-world issues and problems. ]]> 2019-08-06 01:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373353324 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373354047 This standard is the one that I am least comfortable with. I do not know how I would go about having my students collaborate with others whether it be locally or globally. I feel like I would definitely need some dedicated planning time to make this work and to talk to someone who effectively does this within their own middle school math classroom. ]]> 2019-08-06 01:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373354047 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373877246 This is the standard that I feel the least comfortable with and would like to work on. I feel that I get too centered in my little classroom that I forget to provide opportunities for my students to collaborate outside of the4 classroom.]]> 2019-08-09 14:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373877246 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373877514 This is the standard that I feel the most comfortable with but need to get my students to work on. They need to learn how to be effective digital citizens from knowing where to go for reputable sources, how to properly cite their resources, etc. ]]> 2019-08-09 14:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/373877514 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374522974 I am very comfortable with this standard and my students are too. Students need to research topics in other classes such as language arts and social studies so they have already heard tips on finding credible sources (no Wikipedia.) They are also proficient on finding images and videos to support their topics.]]> 2019-08-14 13:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374522974 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374524305 This is an area that I need more resources on. I appreciate Kelli's link and will ad it to my toolbox. Most of my middle school students do not realize the permanence of their actions. Students have been in trouble for bullying because the victim brings in the digital proof to school. I'm not sure if they are mentally mature enough to grasp that the internet is f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I also need to teach them to cite their sources. Plagiarism is obviously apparent at the middle school level.  Students need to be taught paraphrasing and summarizing skills.]]> 2019-08-14 13:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374524305 cjahr1 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374793225 I am very comfortable with this standard. We focus on goal setting with our students on a regular basis. We do this with regard to tests scores (NWEA and MStep) and learning targets. We use standards based grading at my school so students are becoming used to the idea of measuring their proficiency  in terms of skills and ability rather than traditional grades.
I encourage my students to choose different formats for demonstrating their proficiency based on their interests rather than simply relying on traditional tests.]]> 2019-08-15 15:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374793225 cjahr1 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374795181 Even though we continually reinforce safe/proper internet practices, I agree with Gretchen that my middle school students really don't understand the concept of FOREVER. I need to really work with them to grasp this. Also, students know what plagiarism is, but they still continually do it. The proper use of valid sources is also an issue I will need to stress.]]> 2019-08-15 15:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374795181 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374904450 This is the standard I have the most comfort with. I constantly try to engage the students to make good choices and not hide behind the screen. Being a good digital citizen is something we all need to be aware of and learn to positively communicate with others. I think a lot of lessons can always be directed towards this standard. For example, using an online discussion board on any topic, students need to know how to responsibly reply with appropriate comments even if they disagree with a point or comment. They need to always be ethical and fair with regards to technology.]]> 2019-08-15 23:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374904450 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374905815 Since I started teaching my computer science curriculum, I have been working with the students on using a design process to create their web pages and design a game. I want students to take risks, to reflect and change their work as needed. The students will learn how to problem solve and persist in completing something new.]]> 2019-08-16 00:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/374905815 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/375178769 This is the standard that I have the most experience with in the classroom. Although my students have not used technology in my math classroom that much, we have had discussions about their online presence. Our school also hosted an assembly which focused on this concept. ]]> 2019-08-17 16:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/375178769 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/375178967 This is the standard that I feel my students will need the most help with this year.  Although I use different types of technology in my math classroom as the teacher, I have not had students use it on their own much.  I know I will have to help them navigate the wealth of information online to make good choices when choosing sites to use to improve their knowledge on math concepts.  

]]> 2019-08-17 16:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/375178967 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/376161002 The standard of computational thinking is one very natural to science and math classes and an intrinsic part of growth and success in these areas. Data analysis and model development is a crucial part of the NGSS standards for our students moving forward. ]]> 2019-08-21 20:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/376161002 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/376161896 This standard is one that I need more attention to...helping students to utilize technology to develop and test their ideas.]]> 2019-08-21 20:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/376161896 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/387704410 I think my students are easily most comfortable with this particular standard. This is front and center in our social studies classroom. We place a lot of emphasis on the open ended investigation and research skills necessary for our students. Beginning in the 9th grade, they begin writing research papers where they are explicitly taught source analysis skills and are asked to consider both media and information literacy throughout their experience.]]> 2019-09-22 08:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/387704410 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/387704939 I'd say this is the standard where my students may be least comfortable. While I have no doubt that they have the capabilities, the resources, and the skill sets to creatively use an assortment of digital tools (probably far more than I know), I fear that they lack the initiative to branch out and do it for themselves. My students are actually quite good at following directions- but without direction, they begin to struggle. Asking them to creatively use and select these tools on their own will be more difficult for them than it would seem to be on the surface.]]> 2019-09-22 08:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/387704939 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/446080130 I am most comfortable with this standard. Our students choose a goal for the year (what can they improve from last year) as well as a reading goal. Students reflect on their goal during three separate times during the school year. Assessing their reading level using benchmarks and NWEA scores help students to help customize their learning to help support the learning process.]]> 2020-02-16 14:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/446080130 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/446080407 I am the least comfortable with this standard. I would not really know where to begin with this standard or know how to incorporate this standard into my classroom. ]]> 2020-02-16 14:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/446080407 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/449064126 2020-02-23 01:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/449064126 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/449064990 My 4th grade students do best with this standard. The students have been using technology integrated education since preschool and they know the power of technology in their learning. They know there are different programs to help target different learning goals and they are eager to try them all out. They do enjoy using the different forms of technology and I'd like to continue to integrate it into many subject areas. ]]> 2020-02-23 01:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/449064990 https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/497126758 I think my students would need more guidance in this standard. My students are hesitant to contribute constructively when working in groups. They would need more confidence in digital tools as well as confidence in the subject in which they are working with.]]> 2020-04-07 16:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jharding/ISTESScohort6/wish/497126758
