Digital Dialogue by Lucy Bowman https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin BMIE 3700 en-us 2020-09-03 21:56:49 UTC 2024-05-16 21:27:39 UTC hello@padlet.com Dialogue pg. 13 lucybowman1 https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/719577613 1.     As a student I used word, the google applications, google classroom, and gmail. These tools were used to do assignments and submit them. Occasionally, a PowerPoint or content digital was shared on classroom. I don’t feel like technology was very integrated in my school experience until high school. Now in college, I am proficient with Microsoft and Google applications, and other various platforms. In college, I feel like I am definitely learning with technology rather than learning how to use it.
2.     As a student, I feel like I attended seminars in eighth grade on our Chromebooks, or some type of laptop, on how to access the information. Occasionally, we went to the library or computer lab to learn typing skills or formatting on documents. In high school, I had a mandatory class on how to use various applications and from then on, my teachers taught me formatting. In college, professors may breakdown how to use new websites or programming the first times we access it, but the initial introduction is typically our only demonstration. 
3.     I feel that through some projects and presentations that I have been required to give that I have developed skills with presenting information on various platforms. After this last semester in particular, I feel that I have learned how t use quite a few online platforms and I have watched my teachers model this integration. COVID-19 has some of us learning side-by-side.

2. I would classify this article as an opinion article because it talks about different applications that can be used for teaching and suggestions on how it could be used. However, is does not offer quantitative results on how effective or well reviewed the applications are; it only offers qualitative descriptions (i.e. 'great'). I feel like a lot of the claims the author makes is their own opinion and they are just recommending teachers explore a few applications for various purposes. More in-depth information could be obtained elsewhere. 
3. The article was published on Defined Learning's website. It's a blog and it does not give the author's credentials. With that in mind, the textbook suggested exploring various blogs and websites posted by various teachers. The lack of credibility is what calls us to research more and verify if the information is correct. However, cross referencing information and questioning what were being told is a part of the learning process.  ]]> 2020-09-10 20:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/736916687 Digital Dialogue pg. 49 Research Study lucybowman1 https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/736956194 4. This website takes you to a plethora of articles about how abcmouse improves students literacy and retention of skills. Things to consider are that abcmouse is promoting their own product. I would want to look at reviews and how applicable the technology is within the classroom. Another thing to consider is how effective abcmouse is with students cognitive development. The current application is geared toward younger students, a middle school teacher might look at a more advanced tool.]]> 2020-09-10 20:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/736956194 Digital Dialogue pg. 73 lucybowman1 https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/755678937 1. One type of technology the students use in the classroom is Nearpod. A Nearpod is like an interactive PowerPoint. The Nearpod will appear on each students screen and the slides can be controlled by the teacher or the students if the teacher lets them. Websites, videos, games, articles, and worksheets can be embedded in the Nearpod and submitted digitally by the students. Quizzes and questions can also be embedded into a Nearpod. Sound can also be recorded over a Nearpod for a flipped classroom experience.
2. Nearpod also has a discussion board tool where students can post and it will be shared for everyone to see. The teacher can decide if the students comments are anonymous or not when shown to the class. This could give way to a discussion that allows students to dive deeper into a topic or an opportunity for them to answer each others' questions.]]> 2020-09-17 15:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/755678937 Digital Dialogue pg. 84 lucybowman1 https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/776778573 2020-09-24 17:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/776778573 Digital Dialogue pg.128 lucybowman1 https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/793916938 1a. With a single teacher workstation, I could hook the computer up to the projector and take a virtual field trip with students using a mapping site. An activity like this can provide insight into the culture of another country or continent in a history lesson.
1b. In a classroom with five computers or devices, small groups could go to the computers and conduct research. Groups would have five students and would rotate. Perhaps they could do a research project on surrounding environmental ecosystems.
1c. In a classroom where computers are available for everyone, students could have virtual pen pals in another classroom. With these pen pals, students could complete a project together, and conduct research together using simulators with various manipulatives.]]> 2020-10-01 08:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/793916938 Digital Dialogue pg. 292 lucybowman1 https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/801391500 1. I support the use of filtering because the Internet is full of a vast array of information. Furthermore, not all of the information is accurate or appropriate for school. I think filtering can do a great job at protecting children from "harmful" materials as the textbook suggests. Filters appropriate for all children could prevent them from seeing nudity, violence, or even inappropriate ads. Not only does this prevent children from being exposed to inappropriate content, but secure networking can also prevent unwanted outsiders getting into contact with students on various chat room sites or social media outlets.
2. A filtering software I found was Cleanbrowsing.org. This software claims to give the school control of sites on the network while simultaneously blocking sites with content that is "obscene" or "harmful to minors". Cleanbrowsing.org also offers families their services. It does not explain how the software actually filters sites however, it does show a setting page that the school or family would have access to once the software is purchased.]]> 2020-10-04 23:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/801391500 Digital Dialogue pg. 156 lucybowman1 https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/851079656 2020-10-22 03:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/851079656 Digital Dialogue pg. 173 lucybowman1 https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/856381165 2020-10-23 16:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lucybowman1/zmpdiqkz3pdqpwin/wish/856381165
