building technology infrastructure student learning objectives challenges

shared by khjones85 on 20 Oct 13 - No Cached
  • While many states and districts devote a great deal of time and resources to developing SLOs, few think about creating a technology infrastructure or managing the tasks that must be accomplished to implement thousands of SLOs with fidelity.
  • districts must manage, analyze and report on hundreds or thousands of unique assessments.

      I wonder how this will be achieved.  This seems very complicated.

      I agree with you that this goal seems like such a stretch for a district to accomplish. It would be nice to see what the plan is for achieving this goal.
  • To ensure pre- and post-assessments are compatible and aligned for growth, an SLO technology platform should allow educators to easily view assessments and their attributes side by side, match items based on content and rigor, and apply or customize growth algorithms.

  • Implementing an SLO initiative across a school system is a complex endeavor. Properly managed, SLOs can energize a focus on learning, raise student achievement, and promote growth in professional practice

      On 10/21 I have an inservice day in my district where we will be talking about SLOs.  This has made me think of some good questions to ask about how exactly data will be collected, measured, and reported to administrators compared to the methods that we already use for these purposes.

      How does it occur through technology? What types of things happen with technology that enable learning to occur?
  • First, I could use it in a small crowd form just using my students.

      Seems like preschool and kindergarten "centers" are really where crowd learning originated!
  • I could ask each student to draw a picture to share
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 21 Sep 13
       
      How about incorporating technology here? Maybe the create their apple pic using an iPad app like DoodleBuddy or on the computer using something like KidsPix. You could then post those digital pictures on your class blog to share with students and even with parents!

      TED talks are great. Very engaging. I really like this one about collaboration by Howard Rheingold. http://www.ted.com/talks/howard_rheingold_on_collaboration.html

  • Seamless Learning is a newly developed approach that "connects learning across settings, technologies, and activities" (Innovating Pedagogy Report 2013).

      Do our current iterations of the classroom reflect this view? How can/do they need to change or adapt?
  • students then further their learning at home and across various settings while connecting and interacting with mobile devices

      Sounds like a great resource for teachers looking to get started with Seemless Learning.
  • the Seamless Learning approach pushes the focus away from a teacher-centered environment to student-centered
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 21 Sep 13
       
      This seems pretty important. As a teacher, are you ready/prepared to do this? Why or why not?
  • this approach forces students to take ownership in their own learning and encourages students to explore the many uses of mobile technology as an avenue for further learning

  • Geo-learning is a learning experience where students interact with the real world
  • Higher socioeconomic areas will have more of an advantage then lower areas
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 21 Sep 13
       
      This is a good point and one that is easy to overlook. How can we make Geo-Learning equitable for all students?
  • I feel that Geo-Learning has endless possiblities, so many wonderful opportunities to explore and learn about our world!
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 21 Sep 13
       
      Can you talk a little about what type of possibilities you are imagining here?
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • With Geo-Learning you can bring destinations, once hard to imagine into your classroom
  • For example, when I taught in St. Croix the children in my classroom had never seen a squirrel.  With limited technologies, I goggled pictures and facts.  Children need to visualize!  I used www.youtube.com so that they could see a squirrel in its natural habitat.

  • In a nutshell, this method teaches students how to look at themselves as constant learners.
  • Students are encouraged to collect data from their experiences outside of school through various forms of technology and media.  They then bring this information into the classroom, analyze, interpret, and apply it to whatever topic they are currently studying.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 24 Sep 13
       
      Good synopsis
  • in an elementary setting, students might be studying 3D shapes in class.  The students may go home, and take digital pictures of 3D shapes in real life applications.  (Refrigerator, aquarium, garden globe, etc.)  These pictures could then be sorted, graphed, cataloged, added to a collage, digital book, or many other possibilities.

  • gaming plays a major role in many of our students’ lives
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 01 Oct 13
       
      So true, especially at the MS age.
  • we need to develop ways of integrating gaming and learning
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 01 Oct 13
       
      I agree. How can we make gaming in the classroom more legitimate? Do you think parents think that you are wasting valuable instruction time?
  • Most educators will agree with that there is a similarity between the skills you need to succeed in schools and needed for games.  These include problem solving skills, attention to detail, creativity, and persistence

      Very nice comment and a great way to back up your previous statement!

  • “game environments enable players to construct understanding actively, and at individual paces, and that well-designed games enable players to advance on different paths at different rates in response to each player’s interests and abilities, while also fostering collaboration and learning”
  • parents and teachers have many concerns including aligning games with content standards, an unfamiliarity with the games, designing assessment tools, lack of research-based methods, and the cost of equipment and other resources

      Nice overview of the counter point.
  • What message are we sending our students in regards to technology if our classrooms do not mirror the rest of the world.

      You raise an excellent question here, and it is a question, so it needs a ? at the end.

  • Interactions with people and the environment is something that should be seen.

      Would love to have you expand on this statement a little more. Why is it something that should be seen?

      I agree with Jeremy
  • With technology this is now possible to show students how the train takes the tracks or how the truck follows the freeway and what do the cities look like that they are going to.
