One question that was asked during the process was "What are the aims and priorities of your school's curriculum?" ]]> 2021-03-22 02:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1335847797 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1382060330 2021-04-05 04:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1382060330 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1431391317 2021-04-19 04:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1431391317 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1431395421 2021-04-19 04:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1431395421 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1482302821 2021-05-02 12:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1482302821 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1482305409 2021-05-02 12:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1482305409 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1482309068 "Goals should not be so wide that they give purpose and justification to everything. Conversely goals should not be as narrow as behavioral objectives." I thought this was a very good way to develop a measurable goal that is attainable. ]]> 2021-05-02 12:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1482309068 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1482313651 In thinking through planning curriculum content, I think of various ways to implement technology to make these easier. For example, the educator could send Google Forms to all learners to share their learning goals for the course. ]]> 2021-05-02 12:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1482313651 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1483182899 This chapter covered integrating subjects. The author stated in the conclusion, "teachers could feel liberated from a curriculum which is presented as a high pressure chase to 'cover content' within prescribed time limits." This statement is very thought provoking and leads to many questions of how curriculum can be more streamlined to cover content across the subject areas. ]]> 2021-05-02 22:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1483182899 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1483186531 This thought connects to the Chapter 8 thought below. One section discussed linking subjects. "Schools should be encouraged to make links across subjects where there are related skills and knowledge." However, this is a very time consuming task for teachers. Who would be responsible for making these links? ]]> 2021-05-02 22:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1483186531 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1483201868 Since this chapter is about integrating subjects, technology is definitely an area of integration. Instead of simply bringing technology devices into areas of instruction, technology integration has the ability to go much deeper. ]]> 2021-05-02 22:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1483201868 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500436703 This chapter discussed assessment. On page 138, the author states "there is no need to give all the pupils the same dose of assessment." This is a hard concept to grasp because it is the way we were taught. However, I feel that it is necessary to shift perspective in this concept. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500436703 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500439924 This chapter mentions learning path and the student having more ownership of his/her learning path. I'm sure schools are implementing something of the sorts, but some type of tech based flow chart or road map would be an interesting way to engage students in their learning path. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500439924 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500440439 I found it interesting that out of three country's national assessment focus areas, that none of them mention the area of technology. 
Something to look into more in depth. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500440439 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500465407 This chapter discusses assessments and testing. One quote I found very alarming was - "Assessment has become almost universally elated with high stakes scoring and testing and teaching is reduced to servicing that metric. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500465407 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500472713 We need outside of the box thinking when it comes to the terms of assessment. I believe a consulting firm would be a great way to consult with schools and pull out the friction points for refinement. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500472713 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500472873 As an ISD student, it just makes sense to have more teacher training online in modules and at your own pace format. This chapter mentioned that a teacher's pedagogy is at the center of the learning that occurs in the classroom. In my opinion, the only way we can shift this is to take action and provide quality information for teachers, rather than professional development that is low quality or not readily available. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500472873 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500473187 This chapter presented the devastating situation that our classrooms are currently experiencing. As mentioned in the chapter, assessment and testing are not the same thing and must be used differently. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500473187 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500478025 I've always wanted to restructure the education system to look more like an experience. Imagine if school felt like going to Disney. Crazy, I know! But the concept of putting the person first and ensuring they have an experience worth remembering could definitely be transferred to the field of education. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500478025 laneyhandrews https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500479968 Once again, this chapter discussed students being involved in their learning. The article I reviewed this week was about blogging. Blogging would be a great way for students to communicate their learning. This would also be great feedback for teachers. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/laneyhandrews/xu32vvavpmrkraqq/wish/1500479968
