Integrating Instructional Technology Integrating instructional technology into the classroom can enhance student’s education in both learning and communicating. My Comprehensive Classroom Technology Plan will include details on how teachers can use technology as a learning tool. By modeling technology fluency I intend to use technology to widen educational opportunities, apply it to the curriculum and to increase collaboration and cooperation among my students. Integrating technology into the classroom will prepare students for global society and lifelong learning experiences. Expectations will be set when starting the course of this journey.
Hypothesis Identification Article Analysis Adrian Perez University of Phoenix RES/342Version 8 - Research and Evaluation II Group ID: PA10BSB07 E Forrest Boyd November 8, 2011 Summarizing the Hypothesis Measurement and Relationships to Teachers Credibility and Classroom Behavior Perceptions by Martinez-Egger and Powers (2003) is the focusof my Hypothesis Identification Analysis paper. The article measures student’s respect for teachers using the following credibility measurement tools: seven step response pattern, survey questionnaire, and student group inputtargeted at specific teachers. The study explores the relationship between perceived instructor credibility (i.e., competence, character, caring) and student in-class (i.e., willingness to talk) and out of class communication. The evaluation conducted consisted of 150 college students registered in an introductory communication program at Mid-Atlantic University. The results specify “(a) perceived instructor character and caring, but not perceived instructor competence, are positively related to student willingness to talk and (b) perceived instructor competence, character, and caring are positively related to student participation in student out-of class communication” (Martinez-Egger, 2003).
What makes an effective primary classroom? Discuss and debate with reference to research and wide reading, including journals, books and other media During this essay I will look at several areas of schooling, all of which have an impact on making the classroom a productive place for children to learn. Getting the right balance of all factors in the classroom is vital in maintaining and progressing a child’s intelligence. I will specifically focus on the ways in which teaching methods can make the classroom a successful place to be. In particular how they keep the classroom under control but also make it a fun place to learn.
Tamika Camano September 7, 2013 Instructional Technology Professor Budoff COMPREHENSIVE CLASSROOM TECHNOLOGY PLAN Rationale The Comprehensive Classroom Technology Plan will explain the five aspects of the plan, which are the Mission and Vision Statement, the Communication Plan, Integrating Technology, Software to Support Assessment Technology Ethics in the Classroom. An explanation of each segment of the plan will be discussed along with why it is and important part of the plan. Section One: Mission and Vision Statement A mission and vision statement is important in developing a comprehensive classroom technology plan. A properly planned mission and vision statement can facilitate “the advancement of technology, encouraging lifelong learning, and promoting professionalism. (American Journal of Health System Pharmacy)” The vision statement is a snapshot of where you want to be in your plan and the mission statement is the roadmap that you follow to get to your destination.
According to one of the fundamentals of tiered learning, flexible grouping can be an asset and an overall goal for building skills and lifelong learning habits for the future (Carol Ann Tomlinson, professor at the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia). The assessment of a foreign language classroom is different from Math or Science in that the answers may differ and vary. The quality that foreign language teachers look for in the final product is more important that the quantity. With careful planning and clear rubrics, formative assessment and tiered learning can be combined in a foreign language classroom. The final product should display the quality and variety that all languages and cultures provide.
At the classroom level, for example, teachers collect information about a student's learning, make corresponding adjustments in their instruction, and continue to collect information. Formative assessment can result in significant learning gains but only when the assessment results are used to inform the instructional and learning process (Black & William, 1998). This condition requires the collection, analysis of, and response to information about student progress. The most common procedures of formative assessment include the following. Feedback.
The classroom teachers are a leading force in charting the academic journey of struggling students that lead to educational success. They assist administrators, other teachers, and parents in creating and maintaining a healthy environment conducive to learning for students. They also help students navigate through mental, medical, and home-life issues to meet the academic demands of school by tackling the cultural and linguistic differences of students head on. Planning With Cultural and Linguistically Differences in the Classroom What general theory exists in the literature on planning, implementing and managing the differentiated instruction? While differentiation is acknowledged to be a compelling and effectual means of restructuring the traditional classroom to include students of diverse abilities, interests and learning profiles, the philosophy is lacking in realistic validation.
In our daily lives, especially through our education we require the need for technology. Technology, when integrated into the curriculum, revolutionizes the learning process as equipment like interactive white boards, computers and laptops allows us to work faster and efficiently. Technology in schools enhances students’ way of learning and gives them many opportunities. The use of technology in educational lives expresses the benefit technology brings us. While technology provides us with great opportunities, it can also bring harm, danger and sadness into our lives through the cyber world.
You have been chosen to participate in an exciting research study that is being conducted within the Jenison school district. This research is being conducted to identify consumer behaviors, both positive and negative, that effect Internet consumerism. Moreover, the purpose of this research is to investigate a rational connection with how consumer motivations, attitudes, and the thoughts that affect demographics, prior Internet shopping experiences, and website aesthetics. In addition, the Jenison school district will benefit directly from the survey, as the data may reveal opportunities for new trainings and in-services that can be offered to you through the school
Scaffolding in Education Cabrina K. Browning William Carey University Scaffolding in Education Introduction Scaffolding in education as a teaching approach creates from Lev Vygotsky’s sociocultural hypothesis and his idea of the zone of proximal development (ZPD). “The zone of proximal development is the detachment between what children can do by themselves and the subsequent knowledge that they can be assisted to attain with capable help” (Raymond, 2000, p.176). The scaffolding teaching plan provides individualized hold up support on the learner’s ZPD (Chang, Sung, & Chen, 2002). In scaffolding education a more well-informed other gives scaffolds or supports to make easy the learner’s growth. The scaffolds make easy a student’s capability to construct on preceding information and internalize new information.
