    Dawn shared this article with me (Thanks Dawn) and I wanted to pass it along. Very interesting research about the increased/decreased achievement for digital natives in young children. The main point was that testing and writing when it matches student expertise with technology results in greater achievement scores.
  • Robin Olberding on 14 Nov 11
     
    I was interested in the technology article focusing on students with special needs and assistive technology. It was interesting all of the different possibilities that I have never heard mentioned. Usually, the students we may suggest ATT (assistive technology) for have more significant disabilities. These strategies could be used in many of our classrooms.

    I like this as an alternative to Powerpoint. The students can collaborate on slides, and they can work on them from home. This has made a big difference in the quality of the presentations. They also enjoy not being restricted to the limited class time to work.

      Tailoring instruction is very essential for learning, as I work with preschool teachers to do this, they struggle and they see their students day to day F2F. Where I wonder if it is harder or not to do this in an online class. thoughts? This is an essential component needed in every class.

      It is imperative for teachers to understand the tools that are available to meet the diverse needs of all students. Many teachers would use more tools, in my opinion, if they were aware of them and had help learning how and when to use them.

      I am excited about the possibilities of both synchronous and asynchronous communication tools...there may be times when synchronous learning would be most beneficial (having students view the same instruction or community learning at the same time), but how convenient would it be if everyone did not have to be in the same location?? They could view or join in the conversation from anywhere they have a computer! And I love the asynchronous tool possibilities, as in today's age, we can reach so many more learners when they can do the learning at their own convenience and whatever time works best for them! Love the possibilities both of these types of communication tools offer!!!

      Using techniques to engage adult learners will be critical for a successful online class. I think that this will require use of a variety of tools, including those that involved audio and video components. Even "content rich" online courses would have difficulty engaging the learner if they only involved reading, web lessons, powerpoints, etc. (without some sort of screencasting, video or audio).

      This standard reminds us that aside from providing an engaging, motivating course via techology, educators need to sure that their offerings align with district/student needs. We want to design courses that will impact student learning and achievement.
