Final post

During this course I have learned so many different things as a future educator using technology in the classroom though there is so much more to learn at the same time.  For example, how to make a blog and using digital equipment in the classroom such as a ipad, or a cell phone.  Using digital resources to to have children learn about different things in a fun manor such as a online game or a online learning tutorial for kids.  example would be  for each is for the game you can do funbrain, or abyca.  I like the fact that you can also embed links into just about anything  and use that to assist with your lesson  plans.  If you have a special needs child or a child with a learning disability you must modify your lessons or get special equipment so they may have a chance to learn as well. As for a online lesson plan or also known as a web quest for kids to be able to do it themselves you can create one at zunal, I created one on the rainforest.  This keeps their interest of wanting to find out more about something you are introducing.  After introducing a subject and working on it you can  take a field trip. Though instead of taking a actual field trip to say the rainforest, you can actually take a virtual field trip from the classroom live or watch one from a previous session.  To do testing, to see if the student has learned anything  you can also use fun test sites such as kahoot to do it. I also learned to do teamwork, though each of us have different way of doing things and we may not always agree we have to work through it and come up with a game plan to teach at the best of our abilities.

There are always many changes in the educational classroom where the learning takes place.  The technology integration and the educational changes are hand in hand to accomplish this.  This includes two ingredients which is a teacher's different style of teaching, and multiple pathways.  Multiple pathways are how the teacher uses it in the classroom.

Another learning issue is that of  digital inequalities and the participation gap.  For example if we have to add more computers to a classroom or let the student take it home, that doesn't mean that all those students will be able to access it the same way or not at all.  This will also lead to not being able to participate in group venues.

 


You can also do group interaction instead of doing a lecture have them involved in what your trying to teach so you know they are learning.

In the classroom you can go on virtual field trips, vitrual conferencing and even do virtual school online in the comfort of your own home.  Taking your class on a virtual field trip to say the Palace of Versailies on live tour is great because kids still get the opportunity to see and participate in it verses having to come up with expenses covered for a field trip to that extent.  It gives them a better context of things in place with the information that has been discusses.

 Here is a great virtual tour to go on below.

The video above gives a great explanation how virtual conference also goes hand in hand with virtual tours and also eliminates some walls in educational expierences.

Virtual School has also helped alot of students in the past  as well as the future.

In the beginning of a becoming a teacher you are assessed by your piers and by your students.  Your supervisor or prinicipal may sit down in the class while you teach and observe you.  Your students will also assess you as per a survey at the end of the year with questions and then turned in for review by your prinicpal.

You can also make digital portfolios to look back on as well as show and share with your employer.

There are many different ways to do lesson plans for the classroom.  You will need to look at the academic content, learning assessments such as tests and quizzes and online surveys and learning performance rubrics.

Being creative using multimedia technologies is just that.  You have to use a digital projector to use  power points, online writing websites, to get a child to learn or at very least be interested in the learning material.  You can also introduce say multiplication table and at home have them do online practice then come to work and do a group project.

There is all types of adaptive and asistive technology for those with special needs or in general.  You have tablets with magnifying glasses to enhance for vision.  There are also apps that help with reading to you and with writing and coloring.  Math apps to help learn and for other subjects.

Some of the devices that may help would be head phones or a padded button.








These devices will help with special needs kids as well and assist them in learning
