  • Communication Books:Used by children with autism or those who struggle with verbal language, these books encourage a child to choose a small picture card. The card allows the child to ask for something or to answer a question. Called the Picture Exchange Communication System, PECS, it was created by Andrew Bondy, Ph.D. and Lori Frost, M.S.
  • Highlighter Tape:Many children with autism possess strengths in decoding skills but difficulties with comprehension. Highlighter tape is an economical way to highlight text without it being permanent.

  • American university professors do not teach education students a universal, tried-and-true method for how to incorporate technology in their classroom instruction. That the digital revolution evolves at a rapid pace and that technology has become so subject-specific means universities cannot address these shifts and create a standard curriculum. As a result, educators have become more resourceful and ingenious in their teaching, professors say.

  • Make Technology Applicable to Other Class Assignments Instead of teaching only computer and web skills, as in their first year, Meyer Elementary has been embedding the classroom curriculum from other content areas into technology instruction.
  • Collaborate With Other Teachers
  • A big part of Meyer's tech integration program boils down to collaboration and communication. The teachers need to communicate and collaborate effectively so that Dahl can supplement their lessons in his class.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Embrace Discomfort
  • Before Meyer integrated learning technology with content, the school's technology focus was on the how-tos of learning a program or an app. Now, with the current approach to tech integration, students must call upon their critical thinking skills.
  • Apply the SAMR Model When Meyer Elementary first introduced technology, they focused on using it to teach technology separated from content, and on remediation for differentiation in the classrooms. Since then, they've adopted the SAMR model, created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura (PDF). Defined by Puentedura, the four levels are: Substitution: Technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional change. Augmentation: Technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement. Modification: Technology allows for significant task redesign. Redefinition: Technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.

  • Kindergarten: No requirements. Technology should be utilized as academically and developmentally appropriate.1st – 5th Grade: One or two assured experiences required each month, depending on the month and grade level. Numerous integration activities should be utilized throughout the year as they fit into the curriculum, with technology being the most appropriate tool for the activity. Planning is done at the school level with the Instructional Technology Specialist, who will also consult with the LIT.
  • Focus on keyboard familiarity in K-2nd . Begin formal keyboarding instruction in 3rd grade usinglaptops in classrooms when available or use classroom desktop computers. Research suggeststhat a minimum of three times per week for fifteen minutes each time is most effective .Third Grade: Dance Mat Typing (Internet based)Fourth Grade: Master KeyFifth Grade: Master Key

  • I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially.
  • When the teacher's role is to guide, providing access to information rather than acting as the primary source of information, the students' search for knowledge is met as they learn to find answers to their questions.
  • Developing a curriculum around student interests fosters intrinsic motivation and stimulates the passion to learn.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • hen students have ownership in the curriculum, they are motivated to work hard and master the skills necessary to reach their goals.
  • In setting fair and consistent rules initially and stating the importance of every activity, students are shown respect for their presence and time. In turn they learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment.
  • Teaching is a lifelong learning process of learning about new philosophies and new strategies, learning from the parents and community, learning from colleagues, and especially learning from the children. Children have taught me to open my mind and my heart to the joys, the innocence, and the diversity of ideas in the world. Because of this, I will never forget how to smile with the new, cherish the old, and laugh with the children.
  • One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students, as I share my own passion for learning with them.
  • My role as a teacher is to give children the tools with which to cultivate their own gardens of knowledge.
  • will allow children to become responsible members of our classroom community by using strategies such as class meetings, positive discipline, and democratic principles.
  • I will help children to develop their potential by believing in them as capable individuals. I will assist children in discovering who they are, so they can express their own opinions and nurture their own ideas.
  • g and active members o
  • To accomplish this goal, I will teach to the needs of each child so that all learners can feel capable and successful. I will present curriculum that involves the interests of the children and makes learning relevant to life.

    This is something we are discussing in my other education classes. I think it is important to be open minded and see other people's views while finding my own.
