The teacher in the film offered various learning centers where kids could study using a variety of tools, as she was also there to better assist and guide them with the technology.

Also, to take into consideration the type of learning preferences the students prefer and implement those into a positive learning environment. This type of environment will impact our teaching by showing us whether the students truly do not understand the content or it is because of the learning environment they are put under. Canceling out the option of it being the learning environment, because we have accommodated it to their preferences, leads us to believe it is the content they are struggling with. As for future EC-6 Bilingual educators, these accommodations can be met for ELL, ESL, etc. students. Low-income schools, like the one in this video, showed how incorporating technology was a great resource for the students. You can tell in the video how excited they looked to use technology in the school setting and this made them very engaged as well. ]]> 2022-02-12 17:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/lxvup86rlgyqvl2h/wish/2043885682 EC-6 BE: Group 2 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/lxvup86rlgyqvl2h/wish/2043885919
Looking at the chapter about “What is an learning environment?” This is overall a good summary yet, it lacks more qualities on what a classroom is about. The given information is true on how we should make the classroom be based around culture with learner characteristics, assessments, content, skills, resources, and learner support. I also agree with the chapter on how a teacher may be or have less control in one characteristics but, can have a more powerful control in another characteristics. Each of the characteristics should be more defined as in for resources, technology can be more descriptive on the different types of technology like laptops, tablets or even phones. In addition, in today’s classroom many children come from different backgrounds to where many children does not know English. It is important to another characteristics which includes the background of students with their native language. Plus, the graph does not include students with disabilities or any conditions to where that becomes again missing a big characteristic in the overall graph.]]> 2022-02-12 17:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/lxvup86rlgyqvl2h/wish/2043885919 KINE https://padlet.com/cynsosa/lxvup86rlgyqvl2h/wish/2043888157 The role of the teacher in a blended learning environment is to serve as a guide without interacting hands on.

Positive classroom management requires creativity in the classroom, but when that is mastered it allows the classroom to become changed into a dynamic setting. Teachers play a big role in positive classroom management because they are there to help the children understand what is going on. Students also play a big role because once they are engaged, they are able to collaborate back and forth with the teacher to make the classroom environment a fun and engaging one. This is what positive classroom management should look like an engaging and rich environment between the teachers and the students. One message that I feel positive classroom management is trying to send is to treat others you want to be treated.

As humans, we strive to make connections with things that are familiar to us. When reading texts, we tend to look for connections within characters or within experiences in the texts. In order to excite students to learn and come up with their own ideas, teachers should formulate lesson plans to include authentic assessments. When students make connections to texts, there is a high level of engagement taken place in the classroom and students feel included.

Another thing to help students get excited to learn and formulate their own ideas, is to provide different methods of teaching. Because students have different preferences, teachers have to realize that not one size fits all. In the Flipped Classroom video, one of the educators had different groups set up, each assigned by the students’ preferences, and it was able to improve test scores by over 20%.

Having this kind of differentiated environment, makes students feel included and allows students to collaborate with others that learn the same as them, allowing students to build off of each other. Authentic assignments and differentiated instruction, are methods that should be applied in all classrooms because they are both effective and enjoyable for students.
