Then it is good to share how you are going to learn about the topic and finally share what you have learned. Whether it is being assessed or not sharing your learning process, your learning style and sharing what you have found is so important. It might look like a presentation, a product or an interview.]]> 2023-02-24 00:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273945 fred_valdez https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273949 Technology is important but ALL students need to learn how to talk to their peers in a social setting and in an academic setting.]]> 2023-02-24 00:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273949 fred_valdez https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273950 3D technology teaches students about the engineering process in science and geography by allowing them to design a 2D design of an atom or an island and then transfer this to a 3D design software platform and print the design. This adds another dimension to their learning and shows many possible future learning possibilities.]]> 2023-02-24 00:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273950 fred_valdez https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273951 Technology is so important to research academic materials, learn from home, complete science simulations online, use learning platforms like Google Classroom, Google Documents, Google Slides, Google Sheets.]]> 2023-02-24 00:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273951 fred_valdez https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273952 If there is a 1:1 ratio, ELL students can be supported in an individual way and access supports like Google Read & Write, complete online assessments and assignments.  Students can also access translation services and documents in their first language (eg. OERB documents in their language).]]> 2023-02-24 00:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273952 fred_valdez https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273953 At the secondary level, teachers may assume that ELL students have some prior learning but how do you really know this? The Google Suite and other learning platforms allow you to assess for learning and use assessment as learning for ELL students. I like to include a written assessment along with any use of technology.]]> 2023-02-24 00:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493273953 fred_valdez https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493349476 Students know how to use the technology, so how do we teach them WHEN to use the technology?]]> 2023-02-24 02:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2493349476 fred_valdez https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2494519023 Have a tactile surface can help ELL students in a 'thinking classroom' that allows them to get out of their desks and work with peers at a whiteboard. Smaller sized whiteboards can also be utilized at their desks or in small groups to share ideas and brainstorming.]]> 2023-02-25 03:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2494519023 fred_valdez https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2494522998 Blended learning offers 21st century learning opportunities to ELL students in the form of 'enriching' digital opportunities like Gimkit, Edpuzzle and Google Read & Write. Cloud computing is a requirement for students not to 'lose' their work. A variety of learning management systems like Google Suite, Microsoft Teams, Loom or D2L offer a variety of options for teachers and options.]]> 2023-02-25 03:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2494522998 fred_valdez https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2494543102 We must strive to have effective learning environments that
engage students in modes of exploration and knowledge-building that are relevant to their experiences.  "Rapid technological change, global competitive pressures and new patterns of work are demanding a more sophisticated set of transferable skills such as problem-solving, communication,
decision-making, teamwork, leadership, entrepreneurship and adaptability.”]]> 2023-02-25 04:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2494543102 fred_valdez https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2494547926 The global competencies of: Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Innovation, Creativity, Entrepreneurship,
Self-Directed Learning, Collaboration, Communication and Citizenship. Technology can help teach all of these skills but literacy and numeracy are the foundation of these skills. Any way to combine technology to encourage face-to-face learning but also online remote conversations should be taught. For instance, in Travel and Tourism class remote speakers were very important in my class and provide examples of remote jobs partnerships in the workforce.]]> 2023-02-25 05:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/fred_valdez/rbye9ovhawqjaswd/wish/2494547926
