I chose to focus on the PK-2nd Grade guidelines developed by NETS for Students. It is important to keep in mind that the profile that is set up for PK-2nd grade is meant as a guide for teachers to use as “indicators of achievements at this certain primary stage (“ISTE/NETS,” 2007) and it is based on the assumption or idea that these children will have regular access to several different types of technological tools. There is a multitude of technology that is widely available for the K-12 classroom. Software as simple as Microsoft Powerpoint and as complex as Auto CAD is available for every type of classroom. Hardware such as scanners, digital cameras, and flash drives are also a tiny handful of hardware that is available.
Individual students will be using their iPads consistently throughout the day. They will be used across the curriculum with students blogging, interacting on our class wiki, and creating multimedia projects. In small group instruction, specifically Tier 2 instruction, the iPads will be used to differentiate instruction. During small group instruction I will using Apps that compliment our units of study. Some students made need help with basic math facts while other students are ready to do some enrichment problem solving with their mathematics.
By designing activities based around computers and technology, Information Technology learners will feel more comfortable and confident completing tasks. An example of this could be setting an activity for the class to play a maths related online computer game and then to write an evaluation using a word processing package. The learners will be give a printed brief of their task showing the website address to access the game and the criteria to consider when writing their evaluation. Function skills are embedded in this session as the learner would have to be able to: • Listen and interpret the instructions of the task. • Read the website address to access the maths game.
The teachers in the video were using collaborative teaching. This seemed to work well as the students were engaged. The classroom design was flexible. They were seated in rows for the introduction, lecture and individual work and moved to cluster seating in groups of four for group activities. The teachers walked around the classroom stopping in on each group to offer assistance.
Regardless of your experience with online learning, the hope is that you will find this mode of learning engaging and informative. The purpose of the online course is to provide you with the opportunity to learn about Health Assessment and to develop your online computer skills and to interact in a different way with your fellow classmates.

In a time where you have various ways to gain the education and knowledge are we still using the foundational elements Dewey wrote about in My Pedagogic Creed (1897) and The Child and the Curriculum (1902)? On a college campus courses are offered in a variety of settings a classroom, online format; and a hybrid format which is a combination of classroom and online, and a self-paced format. These formats were developed for the ease of the student by allowing the student to choose which format works for them. This could be said that the student is taking command of himself. In a classroom setting you have direct social interaction engaging with the instructor and other students.
Also, everything is live through webcam and it’s very helpful. Smarthinking offers a variety of tutoring in different classes. You will have to pre-schedule a time with a tutor to be able to use this resource effectively. Webcam Tutoring could help me a lot on this term because it gives me the opportunity to talk with a tutor privately with my webcam. It also gives me a visual way to understand the subject while also being able to work on it through my
Health & Social Care For this task you are required to produce a powerpoint presentation with accompanying speaker notes on a policy or area of practice of your choice from your work placement. This will be presented in the classroom setting with an opportunity for questions and discussion. • This task addresses learning outcomes LO2 & LO4. • Higher grading opportunities M123, D123. • Referencing will be evidenced within speaker notes.
These sessions create a classroom where student pairs can work on different levels and on different types of problems (i.e., word problems or counting) or at varying reading levels. Teachers can meet the individual needs of students while keeping the entire class engaged this is evidence of
