Most of the people around the shop supported this activity. They themselves don't use media, except for Ralvery (knitters community), Instagram, and Facebook. So it wasn't hard for them to understand.

Individualization - empathic to the learner, individual strategies , IEP, dialing in to a specific learner's needs, understanding the needs of the learn
Differentiation - multiple units and assessments for the different tracks of students, acknowledgement of the needs and how students learn
- the two about can be lumped in the same camp
Personalization - values for the person, being conscious of the strategies but then also know more about the individual background of the

-Moving form I and D (teacher centered) to P (student centered). Teaching towards what the students want to learn about
- Tech allows us to get deeper into the students needs and interest
- BYOD - isn't bad if you have the sources for students to use

How do we use tech and personalization?
 - focus on the student, not the individual or groups needs
 - build something you can use that is relevant
 - have students build things
 - have students find information, tools, etc.
 - encourage students to dicuss
 - have students teach other students is the best way for learning

Learning Theories

I found the SWOT analysis very helpful to dissect each theory. That activity really helped me understand in “english” what each theory was about,strengths, weaknesses, and how/when to use them. 

As someone that suffered with test anxiety, and a diagnosed short term memory, the KAHOOT activity was very stressful. I would not use this platform in a classroom for those reasons. During the class discussion I found it interesting that teachers have found that students have cheated, and also this platform became a race to be on top. 

Like the previous weeks theories, the Tech Integration strategies were new to me. My group looked at the SAMR integration. This is a slow integration theory involves improvements slowly and can provide a lot of data, which the people in our scenario wanted. 

Our discussion about technology integration was interesting, things I have never considered, and things I take for granted in Higher Education. I learned that some schools such has bethlehem may not have the infrastructure for all classrooms to handle mobile devices. Things such as maintenance and future growth, I can see being a big issue, especially with constant technology advances. The accessibility is something that is a huge factor, if students don’t have a 1:! Device, or don’t have internet at home, I could see it frustrating and limiting for the student. 

Obviously, one thing that is important in having the right amount of security so student don’t access inappropriate thing. Another issue with the mobile apps would be the minors privacy. Some parents might be worried about their child’s information out on the web. A work around would be to create a classroom account, but that may cause issues with students accidently erasing other students work.
