In the argument “Tapping into Text Messaging” by Janet Kornblum, says teens, techies and other early adopters leading the charge to text say it is a great way to communicate when they are too busy to talk or when making a call would be rude or impractical. Just like being in the class room when there is an important incoming call, texting back is a more necessary way to get back to the person instead of disrupting the class and wasting learning time. Texting only takes a few seconds to do and could turn a 10 minute phone conversation into a 1 minute conversation. Text messaging can easily be discreet while being in the class room if turned off or on silent. As long as the student remembers to do so, their phone will not cause a distraction in class.
Also, I am someone who is involved in education and research and I think that it is amazing how learning to read is said to be a talent that it potentially impossible. Furthermore, it is very fascinating that the process of reading is actually a result of a tug-of-war between the material being read and the student, and hopefully there will be comprehension in the results from the material that is read. Additionally, the text maybe made up of phrases and characters in which will have a certain meaning. I have enjoyed this wonderful experience that I encountered while being in the classroom with wonderful students. I can honestly say that the teacher in the classroom did a great job with her students and I will be walking away with a bunch of awesome strategies and resources to take back to my own classroom to help with teaching reading and language arts.
Not only does it break through the adolescent barriers and builds a cooperative group, it helps their learning process tremendously. What was interesting about Goodwille’s book was she offered teachers a variety of ideas and strategies for dealing with group attitudes and individual needs. Also, she
Music lessons cultivate a wide range of skills. Playing an instrument requires fine motor skills, practice, knowledge of a musical system and emotional intelligence to convey the piece's message. Developing regular practice habits in each of these areas can aid children outside the music room by reinforcing study routines that reward the time put into learning a new skill. The process is also much like going to school in that the music student is learning interactively, whether in a group or one-on-one environment. Smaller classrooms have been shown to increase learning potential, and therefore these smaller, individualized sessions help develop increased learning aptitude and attention.
I felt that there were a lot of things I did well as a teacher. It didn’t take a lot of time for the students to open up to me, and feel comfortable to ask questions. I really enjoyed answering the questions each student had, and even teaching some students how to conjugate verbs and use them. I also thought that I did a great job in encouraging the students, and not letting them just slip by when I knew they were capable of doing better. In one case, we all had to make a fool of ourselves by dancing to the alphabet song, but I can guarantee that the students won’t soon forget the words to the song.
This is extremely beneficial for the children as they were learning through play whilst enhancing their knowledge both in school and at home which improves results and higher achievement. The interactive whiteboard gives lessons a different outlook to the traditional method of chalk and talk as it helps aid visual learners whilst giving opportunity for class discussions and positive behaviour. Using the Interactive whiteboard gives a lot more opportunities for teachers to present their lesson plans, making it more motivating and interesting for the children and helps keep them more focused and interested in what their being taught. It is clear that ICT in schools when used appropriately is a positive resource for both teachers and children and will continue to benefit children’s personalised learning throughout the curriculum.

Pictures: Pictures are used alongside words to make communication more easier and understandable. In fact in my placement school, the reading scheme that is used starts the children off with ‘picture only’ books so the children are encouraged to talk about the pictures in the book and make their own story up and ask questions. Technology: Computer programmes (apps and games), interactive whiteboard, story tapes, cds are all ways of stimulating a child’s communication development. These days a lot of programmes are interactive and children can hear and respond to different applications made specially to help develop their
Personalized learning is successful in schools where student voice is engaged that’s means to involve pupils in the school community and in the process of teaching/ learning and the students are more motivated to learn and to see school as an institution more relevant to their lives. Individual student voices express points of view, opinions, ideas, suggestions, worries and concerns , some of which will relate directly to learning and to teaching including matters of learning curriculum content or learning style. A major role of schools is to enable pupils to achieve their full potential. One way of doing this is to help them become more effective learners and to carry this ability to learn into adult life. Is known that effective learning can only take place when people experience emotional wellbeing Another way of looking at the impact of
Intended Goal: To encourage the children’s imaginative play and creativity. Develop their fine motor and eye-hand coordination. Developmentally Appropriate: This activity is developmentally appropriate because music activities are a ton of fun and the children are able to learn about each other culture since they come from different countries. Many children communicate better through music and can make friends easier. RC II-4 Fine Motors (indoor activity) Title: Shaving Cream Age: 4 years
Internet helped William to enjoy studying and to focus. The program Quizlet stimulated all four objectives in learning language writing, reading, speaking and listening, which helped him transfer the material from his short term memory to his long term memory faster. As the data shows, his grades have improved. I also see the possibility of using assistive technology with students who don’t have disabilities to improve their performance. If I can gather more data and experiences, I can present results to the school that can impact school improvement, faculty development and student learning.
