ILP Design – Edmodo

Join out 2nd Grade Math Class

Group Code : qw4yh9

The link to our class page is HERE !

I created an Edmodo page so students can go on there and find different was that they can learn new math skills or even brush up on the skills they have learned in the classroom. I shared some of the tools and websites that I think are helpful to the students but they can also join in and post what they think help them personally with the other students and myself. Parents can also go onto there child's page and post useful tips and web pages. This w=page can also be used for me to post pop quizzes for extra credit and to remind students that they have assignments that are due. 

Blog #10- The Final One

I know that I want to teach the 2nd grade but I wouldn't mind taking on a high school grade level later on in my teaching career. One thing that I know for sure is that I want to teach mathematics.

 In the future I plan on using data collection tools very frequently because i believe that it would be a great addition to every teacher. I could use this to keep track of the students grades that they will receive on assignments and other things. I could also use this to keep track of how good my students are doing in the classroom, like their average grade or the amount of the knowledge that they could understand and do on their own at the end of the week. Excel will be the perfect tool that I can utilize as a data collection tool

While in this class I found that there were a couple interesting topics that we got to write about but the one that interest me the most while reviewing my classmates' blogs was in Blog #6. This blog was the most interesting to me because everyone got to go on the Technology Sandbox tour and share their personal experience. Everyone was in "awe" about the different technology that we got to be introduced to and got to use first hand. the most interesting thing is that we all learned about something new hat we have never seen before. 

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN NEXT?

I would love to learn not to create an animated book online that students can learn new math skills but in a fun and adventurous way. Instead of sitting at a desk using a boring text book, I want to make a book that interacts with students and makes it more fun and entertaining to learn. I think i will go online and try to find a way to learn and make this online book. You can always find something on the internet... all you have to do is look it up.

The Flipped Classroom

This method of teaching is nothing like the traditional of in classroom teaching. This method flips the way that teachers usually do things like teach a lesson then sends the students home to do their own homework but instead they send the students home to watch the lessons then the students do the work in the classroom. I think this is something that every teacher should try because it influences students learning environments in fundamental ways by using educational technology and learning through activity. 

Watch Know Learn

While working on the PowerPoint for Information Dissemination assignment, I have actually learned a bunch of new things while doing this assignment. I didn't know that you could download games and such just to edit it and create your own. I knew that I could download themes to design the PowerPoint that I wanted to create but I never knew that I could simply download an interactive game. The thing I liked most about this assignment is the fact that I can create something that I never knew about but what I didn't like was that they didn't really have a lot of options in games... just the same ones I've seen in most classrooms. I can use this as a review or a way to keep my students interactive and learning.

Assistive technology is one of the core strategies schools use to help with learning and attention issues. There are some technology that are more fancier than others like for instance like hearing aids or captions on TV that support students who has a hearing loss or are deaf.  On the other hand, students with dyslexia that have a hard time spelling can use spell check to help them with grammatical issues. I remember when I didn't realize that I needed glasses, would sit really close to the computer screen until I learned how to use the magnify option. It gave me a chance to be able to see clearly and not fall behind in class. The only challenge that I can think of that might occur to in a classroom is trying to keep that student at the same pace as the other students so he/she won't get left behind. 

I used Weebly back in my computer class when I was in high school but I never thought that I would actually use it again until his class. I loved using this website back then but now it seems to be a bit more difficult then what I remember. I couldn't even get the apps to pop up in order to put my calendar up (let's hope I get this fixed before class). Overall, I enjoyed creating and designing my class webpage because I got to add my own "flavor" to the whole outline of what we had to do. I loved the different themes that they had for the website and the many layouts. The only problem was that the app part was difficult for me to figure out. I don't know if it was just my laptop but it wouldn't pop up after I installed the calendar app. In my future career, I will definitely utilize this web design page by making a space where my students or coworkers can come together and find out about the different things going on around us.

I never heard of Diigo until this class but I learned so many things just by utilizing it in the class. I can now share things instantly with the people in my classroom and I can annotate any website that I need to share. This application can be very useful in many classrooms like for instance our classroom. We use it all the time and we have learned to share information that someone else could find interesting or useful. This is an educational tool that anyone can learn to use and can make it easier to learn things with students that need hep with finding things on their own.

ILP “Design” – Prezi

________________________________

This Prezi presentation is about the use of technology in the classroom. I chose this because after the Technology Sandbox tour I realized that getting technology involved in classroom at an earlier stage can help students be more advanced and involved in the learning process. They will be more excited and ready to get to work in the classroom because I know i was excited and intrigued by the Sandbox tour.

Blog #6

When I was in school, none of my teachers had a personal website in which I could have went on and looked up information regarding my class but they do this now. I went onto John G. Riley Elementary School website and they had a tab which lead to the personalized website of each teacher and some information that they had for their students and parents. I randomly selected Mrs. Hannah Nalls webpage, a first grade reading and math teacher. On this page she has tabs for assignments, student resources, announcements, important documents, and the class calendar. Each tab displays content that will inform students and their parents of everything that they will need to know throughout the school year. My favorite part of this web page is the Student Resources tab. It has a list of sites that the students could use at home and continue to learn. The coolest thing about these resources is that I use to use these sites when I was younger, especially Starfall.com

After the visit to the Technology Sandbox, I saw so many interesting and exciting pieces of technology that I have never seen or even heard of before. The fact that there is a place to go that I can go learn to use all of these items before I even step foot in a classroom is great. This tour allowed me to envision how I will be using technology within my career. I want to make sure that all my students have about an hour and a half of what I call "tech time" in order for them to use different types of technology within the educational setting. I really want to have a Smart Board in my classroom because it seems to be one of the most interactive thing that I experienced while on the tour and it seems like it wouldn't be hard for students to work with. I also think that the Smart Board table and Osmo, which is a game system that will change the way students interacts with the iPad by opening it up to hands-on activities, will be a great addition to all classrooms across the word. Even though I saw a lot of incredible pieces of technology on the Sandbox tour... i think these would be the best in a classroom setting. These items allow multiple students to participate at one time and makes it easier for students to rotate and try to use and learn the technology in the class.
