Blended Learning Tools & Flipped Classroom; Science Lesson Links - 0 views

    • jnewmanfd
       
      I've been looking for sources for how the next generation science standards fit with online learning when I found this. I agree that the standard model of flipping the classroom won't work, but it appears that a blended flip model could work. Also I love the variety of tools presented.

      I like this basic flowchart on how the structure of online learning in our state is setup and the FAQ section provided some good points on how to go about preparing to teach online

    Tracking progress to see if my students complete the steps of a forum, for example, made checking very easy. I set it up and now needed to know how to check if my students completed it. I found my answers here.

Technology in Education 2019: 5 Trends to Watch | Top Hat - 1 views

  • With this in mind, our technology in education 2019 predictions are less about exactly what emerging technologies will be—most of them exist already—but how they will be applied.
    • kimgrissom
       
      This seems on point as we reach a point where are our tools are far more than we can possibly use, but we are getting much better at being strategic selectors of tech tools.
  • meant to replace 4G/LTE, and it has two aims relevant to technology in education: it will be more robust for connecting large numbers of devices, and work equally well inside and outside of buildings.
    • kimgrissom
       
      Yes! We have one building in our district that basically has no mobile service. But even in other buildings, speed can be a big problem.
  • fewer spinning beach balls waiting for your learning management system to update.
    • kimgrissom
       
      This is huge--no one wants to wait with a classroom of students while the spinning rainbow circles.

  • For instance, instead of holding regular in-person office hours, an educator could make him- or herself available on instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Signal.
  • Changes are already happening at simple levels. In November 2018, a Brooklyn-based man filed a lawsuit under the Americans With Disabilities Act against 50 colleges saying that their sites were not accessible to prospective students who need screen readers to navigate the web.
    • kimgrissom
       
      Yes, we're seeing this become a bigger issue in our district, but it was something that many didn't educators didn't know much about until recently.
  • It’s likely that in 2019, employers and higher education institutions alike will be increasingly asked to offer equity between in-person and online-only courses, and adapt any online courses to be pedagogically equivalent.
    • kimgrissom
       
      I would hope this is already starting to happen. This has been the biggest push in our district for our own online program rather than the purchased option we were using.
  • “We are a research institution, we are conducting world-class research daily and we don’t know what we don’t know in terms of who’s been impacted. The last thing we want to do is lose someone’s life’s work,”
    • kimgrissom
       
      Yikes. Yes, digital security continues to be a topic we keep learning more about (or new crimes continue to be created). Keeping students safe while keeping learning opportunities accessible will be key.

      Articles: Preparation-Whatever you are presenting needs to have a story behind it-somehow-as well as making the story interesting. Most of the time presentations can be given by doing so with personal experiences. Personally, I love hearing about other's personal experiences when it comes to pertaining to my career and their lives, due to the fact that it helps me learn from them. I feel by incorporating into the presentation some personal experience, this allows the presenter to be more comfortable in front of the audience, know their material well, and the audience will remember the presentation. Many presenters do a great job of incorporating comedy into their presentations, which adds to the creativity and helping the audience relate and remember the content.

      Awakenings - There seems to always be a way to tie in a story.  I agree that humor always adds more to it.

      Awakenings - Six words - I have broken this rule so many times!  This will be a hard one for me to break.
    • cherylfletcher
       
      Awakenings - Also I have sat through many boring powerpoints.  Need to really focus on how much time I have and what exactly I need to get accomplished.  Plan!

      Articles: Preparation-This statement has a lot of meaning to it about going first. There are many people that are not able or willing to stay for the last part of the conference, seminar, etc., due to travel time or other obligations that they may need to leave for. I've been there! And the amount of time you as the presenter takes on the presentation, you definitely do not want to only have a small portion of the audience to hear you present. Use this chance to be the first to get done with your presentation and not worry about waiting until later and not having the audience.
  • “Personalized” learning is something that we do to kids; “personal” learning is something they do for themselves. In a world where we can explore almost every interest or passion in depth on our own or with others, it’s crucially more important to have the dispositions and the skills to create our own educational opportunities, not be trained to wait for opportunities that someone else has selected for delivery.

      I read another article by Bray and McClaskey that said personalization is learner-centered and differentiation is teacher-centered. In this article it seems they are saying "Personalized" learning is teacher-centered and "Personal" learning is learner-centered. I agree we need to give the kids the skills and tools to create their own learning. The problem solving and organizational skills they learn from doing things for themselves is much more valuable than any standardized test we ask them to take. If they are in charge of their learning when they are young, hopefully they will become life-long learners.

      I struggle the most with technology--just because it is constantly changing and I teach online at several places--all of use different platforms.
  • technological knowledge
    • theatregoddess
       
      Playing around with stuff here--but, once again, not a techie. However, most places have tech desks and I don't think it is bad at all to have students call them. I just sent an Iowa Central student to the tech desk with a question. Now, if the question would have been on rhetoric, I would have answered it myself.

      With my special education students, aligning assessments with objectives helps us determine what we really need to students to learn if they have modified curriculum.
  • Communicates with students effectively and consistently
    • tkofoot
       
      This is so important to help them help guide their instruction and increase their self-advocacy skills in their classes.
  • The course instruction includes activities that engage students in active learning
    • tkofoot
       
      We need to make sure we meet all learning styles, so active learning will help us observe if those skills are being understood.
  • The course structure has flexibility to accommodate multiple timelines
    • tkofoot
       
      The flexibility helps students master curriculum.

    I've found a lot of activities on here, many for free, that students enjoy. I'm always searching for ways to get more movement and group work into my classroom.
