differentiation technology technology integration EBV ebvmaracaibo

    "There are two areas where technology can optimize learning better than any other educational strategy. I'm not talking about iPads or laptops or apps. I mean how you deliver your message--done in such a way that more students are able to achieve their goals. .. The first is problem solving. If you want students to be critical thinkers, to take responsibility for their own learning and in doing so, excel--and you do--you must must MUST use technology to teach problem solving. More on that later. .. Today, we'll talk about differentiation. If you struggle to adapt your lessons to the multitude of learning styles in your classroom, struggle no more. Technology is like that friendly laugh that diffuses a tense situation, the tale wag from a rottweiler to tell you s/he's on your side. Tech will become your classroom's transformative tool--a magic wand that can adapt any inquiry to student needs. Take the cornerstone of literacy--the book report--as an example. When a teacher assigns this sort of compare/contract, who/what/when/where exercise, students thinks paragraphs of words and grammar struggles. Thanks to technology, that project is no longer a nightmare for everyone challenged by phrases and paragraphs. Now, students have options that transcend pencil on paper. Communicate the essential ideas with a comic tool like Zimmer Twins, an art tool like SumoPaint. How about an audio tool like Voki--or a movie maker like Animoto. The challenge for you as teacher is to provide those tech options and then encourage students to be risk-takers in using them to achieve the project goals. The challenge for students is to analyze what's available and select the tool that uses their learning style. .. You're probably thinking that before students can use these fancy tools, you have to learn all of them--and teach them. Where's that sort of time come from--and by the way, you aren't one of the 'techie' teachers. Do I have good news for you. The ideas below require very little prep

      This goes along with Mr. Centra's comment about wanting some PD/training on how to teach in a digital learning environment. This is not a challenge that can be approached from one single direction. We want students to be empowered by technology, but teaching them that there is a time and a place depending on the learning goals is utlimately the challenge for the dgital 21st educator in my opinion.
  • Recently, when teaching this strategy of incorporating backchannels, a participant raised an interesting question: "What happens when a student has to speak up without the aid of a screen?"
    • Sharin Tebo
      Sharin Tebo on 08 Oct 13
       
      Honestly, I think backchannels are what we should be using during our own meetings, as there are so many times when we have comments or questions but we don't have the opportunities to address them at that moment. I had this idea during last week's MS/HS Divisional meeting while Mr. Centra was talking with us.

  • However, what if students explored in the physical world, watched Grover, and then created their own videos to demonstrate their understanding of these abstract concepts? What if they published these videos to a class website or blog to interact with a broader audience and extend the learning context beyond the classroom?
  • Students should learn to interact in a face-to-face setting, experience the physical world and go outside. However, much like we cannot say that all television rots our brains, we need to look beyond saying that all screen time is bad for our students. To do that, I like to ask three questions: Is it appropriate? Is it meaningful? Is it empowering?

      did you know about this?
  • Gamification Whether you teach English, science, math or anything else in between, there are myriad ways in which Gamestar can be combined with existing curriculum and used in the classroom: After reading a book in class, have your students recreate major scenes in the form of a video game. Ask students to design a game that teaches other students a specific scientific concept you've been studying. After studying ratios, ask students to create a game that contains a certain ratio of coins (for the player to collect) to enemies. Recreate famous myths from different cultures that have been studied in history class. Have students create a game that consists of a level for each stage in a butterfly's life cycle.

    Gamestar Mechanic can be used across subject areas and grade levels

  • Knowing that time is tight and fees can really add up, Sophia Learning just released its FREE ACT Test Prep program. It is fully online and covers all four content areas with practice tests and answer keys. What makes this "course" unique is that the video tutorials not only review subject matter but provide real down to earth test taking strategies. Best of all, Sophia chose subject matter experts who have experience teaching ACT Prep courses to design and build the test prep pathway.

      Todd, weren't we having this conversation when I told you I would be meeting with ES parents about ipad and balance (technology) and safety in the home?
  • we immediately had a website created as a place for all of them to go. This was great, but it was just a start. They also needed a way to communicate and share their concerns. We began to host some “town-hall” style forums as a way to open up the lines of communication.

      I think it is great to have a website, town-hall style meetings, etc. but I think bringing in the parents when the kids begin their formal BYOD program in early August prior to the kickoff of school is the way to go...Parent AND student orientation. This is when we have the conversations and practice balance, managing time, what is real learning with devices versus games and then of course, safety so parents are reinforcing what we ought to be teaching (and by we I mean ALL teachers) to kids about use of personal devices.

      I can think of teachers I had who I could clearly tell they were passionate about their teaching. Russian History...no textbook, but stories instead with personal handicrafts that Mr. Phillip Barman made to demonstrate Russian torture tactics. They got rid of the class when he retired, and sadly, the red walls of the Tsars were painted over. What a shame.
