I have found some ways to do this, but since I am a Resource/Inclusion teacher. I spend a lot of time in the general education classroom and with very small groups in the resource room. I plan to learn more way to use technology to help modify assignments for my students. ]]> 2016-09-13 17:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123555871 https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123637449 The "wall" I face is simply time. When integrating technology I need time to properly plan to fully incorporate the technology into the lesson OR finding the time to redesign a lesson to take it to the "modification" or "redefinition" level in SAMR.]]> 2016-09-14 00:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123637449 https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123657965 My biggest challenge that I will face in this course is time. It will be challenging to put forth my absolute best work in both this technology course and to also create and implement my lessons in the classroom with my students. I am however looking forward to learning more ways to use technology in the classroom.]]> 2016-09-14 03:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123657965 maddie_elder https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123780692 I would have to agree with the others who have posted and say that time is the biggest obstacle. We have a ton of teachable moments during the day that we could utilize some of these great things we are learning, but there is always someone else that needs to be looked at or something else that needs to be done around the athletic training room. I plan on making a daily goal to use technology in a teachable moment. ]]> 2016-09-14 14:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123780692 bwardlow https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123873001 2016-09-14 18:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123873001 https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123880065 My biggest challenge is being a school counselor.  I don't have the same access to working with students as a classroom teacher does.  I do plan on utilizing as much as I can for ways that work with my program.]]> 2016-09-14 18:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123880065 https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123910310 The challenges faced in this course and implementing technology in the classroom is , much like everyone said, time management. We already have so much packed into the ELA curriculum that often times, it is very difficult to add some of the "cooler" technological resources. I am keeping an open mind; however, and hope that through this course, we can all learn how to time manage and implement technology without feeling rushed or feeling as though we cannot possibly do this with the amount of work we already have on our plates. ]]> 2016-09-14 19:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/123910310 sascher https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124482985 My biggest challenge that I face is accessibility to technology itself and time.  Teaching elementary art I only see classes once a week so when I am using technology it is very difficult for me to have the technology for example ipads to use in my classroom for an extended amount of time.  As far as time we are also creating 2D and 3D projects throughout the year to finding a balance between it all is a challenge.  In regards to this course I am always up for learning new innovative ways to use technology.]]> 2016-09-16 20:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124482985 robieratsmu https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124488282 When tackling the challenges of this course, I will use many different tools.  First will be time management.  As others have mentioned, time is definitely a problem for all of us.  Next I will use improvising & patience as a tool. In the photo below you will see an example of the majority of the technology available to my students, the netbooks. The students do a great job of being patient, but often we spend more time trouble shooting than actually making good use of the technology. We persever and do great things with what we have! We are so grateful for the reliable Dells that 5 of my students are able to use, and look forward to Chrome books soon! My plan to overcome the challenge of devices, is to have students work together sharing the Dell computers. This allows for collaboration, which was mentioned in the videos we watched! I look forward to tackling any challenges with a growth mindset and positive attitude!]]> 2016-09-16 21:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124488282 https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124599735 As a Special Education teacher I think I will struggle with two main points with using higher levels of  technology in my class. One is this will be the time I have kids in my room.  We only have 30 minute sessions.  A second struggle is when we do use technology we will be on a substitution level to stat out with, this will  be the first year my friends have had a one to one device and they need to learn the basics first. I do spend a great deal in gen ed classrooms where I am able to see technology in action and assist students there. As for the struggles with myself in this course, I do not automatically think of technology.  I first think of pencil paper tasks, when I am so proud of myself to intergrade technology it never goes as planned, I am flexible but cannot control tech issues...hopefully the chromebooks with be a breath of fresh air... ]]> 2016-09-18 23:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124599735 vboatner https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124613527 As a Physical Education teacher of 920 students my first challenge will definitely be time and time management.  I want to have goals and progress throughout this course, but feel it may not get as much attention as I would want.  Need more time to plan what technology would be best and work the best for the students.  Also my classroom is different than your normal classroom.  Having access to enough technology for our students to use would be another challenge.  Having 68-80 students in a class.  Finding and using technology that keeps the students active is something I would like to incorporate.  I am looking forward to using more technology in P.E. and I want to make it fun for all!]]> 2016-09-19 02:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124613527 https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124754878 I think that the biggest challenge that I face in implementing technology in the classroom is having the time both planning and in instruction.  I have also found that technology is not always reliable when you need it and this can lead to discouragement.  A big issue that I have seen is that our students are not as technology proficient as we think they are and this leads to increased instruction time on how to use the technology tool.  Aside from limiting the time we spend on our courses actual TEKs, I'm not aware of a great way to increase technology to the level that some are expecting.]]> 2016-09-19 14:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124754878 https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124827942 The biggest challenge that I face with the course is time and the overall organization of the modules (they are unorganized and hard to follow).

Karen Carrier and I are meeting with Jason for a "study session" so we can work together and complete it without too much frustration. I think this will also make the course more enjoyable - we can bounce off ideas or eliminate any problems we have completing sections. ]]> 2016-09-19 19:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124877043 https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/124878633 I am certain that my biggest challenge with the course is going to be motivation to complete the tasks. I began taking this course a couple of years ago and did not finish it.  I've already started to set a few goals to keep myself motivated!

As a specials teacher, we have a difficult time checking out the iPad carts for a week. Hopefully the issuance of Chromebooks for 3-5 will aide in the availability of technology in our classrooms. I attempted many times to go to the computer lab and even checked out netbooks when they were decommissioned from the middle schools. The lag time and the memory on these computers cause much frustration for my students and myself, but I refuse to give up. With 1:1 technology in the upper grades, it may allow for more access to the iPad carts for the lower grades. I am excited!]]> 2016-09-26 12:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/126338674 https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/126758880 Brittany Horn and I created a Google form for 8th grade students to select their Endorsements for high school.  we used autocrat to send students and parents a copy of the form as an email attachment.  We faced many struggles in completing the vision!  But, we did it!]]> 2016-09-27 17:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/126758880 https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/127254060 The biggest struggle currently is the access to technology.

With that said, the struggle in itself will be dedicating quality time to fully engage in the future lessons.  As the timestamp on this post may indicate, it is easier said than done, when it comes to setting aside time for the TIA.  Albeit it challenging, the trust exists that it will be well worth it overall.  I enjoy allowing the students to work through their technology rather than pen and paper all the time.  I do hope to increase the benefit from doing so rather than simply augmenting or even substituting technology for paper and pen. ]]> 2016-10-02 16:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nisdTIA/pdj5ztgkvn7r/wish/127732930
