https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml This a Padlet sharing all resources that I dug deeper into from Unit 2 to unit 7. These will be resources that I will come back to as a reference when needed. en-us 2022-10-02 23:02:20 UTC 2022-10-03 02:40:44 UTC hello@padlet.com 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322956881 Students in today's world are more exposed to technology than what other people were 10 to 20 years ago. We have now come to the realization that technology in the classroom is important, but we must integrate technology into our classroom rather than just using it. Here are some resources that I have found that proves this. ]]> 2022-10-02 23:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322956881 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322957405 2022-10-02 23:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322957405 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322959572 2022-10-02 23:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322959572 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322963550 There are many things that I actually disagree with this blog post. Traditional libraries are not yet obsolete. This is because it is still important to keep books relevant for our students. Even though we have technology to read to us or give us a digital copy of a book. We still need a safe space to read the content. A traditional library is the perfect place because they enforce silence in the library. Banning phones and tablets should still be a thing at schools. We are unable to monitor or supervise students with their uses of the technology when they use their own. Schools should be providing the technology needed for the class that can be monitored to ensure the students are staying on track. Computer class is still an important feature in our schools. Teachers don't have time in their day to teach the content that they're teaching all while educating the students how to properly utilize the technology. The school that I am working at still has a computer class that educates students how to be digital citizens and how to integrate what they learned into the classroom. We need to keep a computer class, especially for younger students. To prepare them for the real world of college and other jobs that utilize what they're learning in class. ]]> 2022-10-02 23:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322963550 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322965212 With technology continually changing. It is important to keep up with current technology trends to implement into our classroom. It can provide us with better chances of keeping student engagement at it's highest. We are able to also bring something different into the classroom that can prevent us from getting burned out from teaching. Check out this link to learn more on how to keep up with technology trends. ]]> 2022-10-02 23:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322965212 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322967129 There are three technology frameworks SAMRS (Substitution Augmentation modification redefinition) model, TIM (Technology integration Matrix), and TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge). All three have the same goal in mind of educating students but their methods of approach are completely different. ]]> 2022-10-02 23:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322967129 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322968019 2022-10-02 23:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322968019 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322972355 2022-10-02 23:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322972355 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322976901 2022-10-03 00:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322976901 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322992784 Creating a deeper level thinker for students should be a big goal for students. Doing so can create a larger engagement of students in the classroom. We learned this week how we can accomplish this by integrating technology.]]> 2022-10-03 00:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2322992784 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323014442 Prodigy is a great trending game that follows the gamification technology trend that there is. It keeps students engaged and now that they've released an English subject version of the game. The amount of learning that students can do is limitless. Teachers are able to track how well the students are doing as well as are able to to pick what kind of questions the students will see. ]]> 2022-10-03 01:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323014442 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323015483 Blended learning is something newer that I learned about this year.

You must make it applicable to the real world. If we don't do this they look at using the technology they're using in the classroom more as a quick tool and done. A cool tip that I have is having students solve a real problem by doing research on a topic that can be applied to the real world. An example would be that the students can do a research on how to reduce pollution in their town. They can use Prezi to present their solutions and findings. ]]> 2022-10-03 01:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323018221 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323023154 Everyone learns differently and it is important for us teachers to know our students, how they learn, and what makes them tick. Once we can know these things about our students we will know exactly what to do in order to ensure student success. ]]> 2022-10-03 01:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323023154 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323024193 2022-10-03 01:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323024193 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323027757 After doing some digging about the ASSURE Model.

You want to protect your students from searching something that they should not be looking up. You also don't want the student to damage the integrity of the systems software by getting a virus on the device. ]]> 2022-10-03 01:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323031985 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323033684 When looking deeper in the Frameworks I have come across a framework called RAT (Replacement, Amplification, Transformation) Model. It is very interesting of a framework.

I highly recommend them getting one. You can have your students give you real time feedback during the lesson as well as you're able to assess your students on their learning at the end of the lesson. They have thousands of different lessons that can be found based on the standards you're teaching. There is a feature that allows students to learn at their own pace rather than what the teacher is doing. Finally, they're VR field trips. What teacher doesn't love VR field trips. This is not a replacement to what you're teaching, but is a helpful resource on what you're teaching. ]]> 2022-10-03 01:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323040267 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323046447 It is important to know if the tool or website you're using is going to be useful in your classroom, or if you should be using it at all.

It involves a student who is willing to learn or take on a challenge that involves learning. Soon they find themselves not being able to understand it, or are capable of understanding it and climbing out of the pit. Later the student who understands the lesson can help another student out of the learning pit. ]]> 2022-10-03 02:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323053291 1700080 https://padlet.com/1700080/vr940v8wsvvwjsml/wish/2323055552 When you have 1:1 devices for your students, and those devices happen to be Ipads. Apple Classroom will be your best friend. You're able to monitor what the students are doing, Lock the students from looking in their Ipads, Lock the students on a specific application, and if you're working with elementary students having a tough time finding the application they're suppose to be on. You can open the application they need to be on for them.
