What Can We Learn from These Teachers?
Sam Pane teaches 5th graders by introducing a quote to get the students thinking about what power the internet have on making decisions. The students are in charge using the
internet safely and being able to evaluate each other on what information to look for using digital citizenship. I like building comics to get the student engaged and communicating to teach dialogue. The students create a character, using real pictures and text, and write a narrative. Sstudents take ownership and it's more meaningful to them. The teachers provide students with tools and creativity to learn as
individual students. I watched the Teaching digital citizenship. Students identify
their role as a digital citizen to be safe, responsible, and respectful.
Students know not to provide personal information over the internet. I like the idea
of creating a super hero character to using the Internet safely. There’s 5th
grade standards are demonstrated in the writing lesson. Students go
around and respond to other students on digital citizenship narrative. Students
are going to be exposed to all opportunities and decision-making is important
to digital citizens.
Making Thinking Visible by Mark Church: Students watched a video and was assigned to create, critical think aloud, and develop a headline in small groups. Students will connect and share ideas to make a headline. Students build on the knowledge and the content they learn from their discussions. The reflection of the headlines demonstrates the retention students remember and visualize content into a bigger picture. Later students can see how the big "puzzle" of the headline has changed. I would do this as a discussion starter in all learning subjects.
Project base Learning changed when a group of teachers decided to go to their administration to get the students to take ownership of their Canadian History and English and Literature assignments. These students do not learn in a segregated learning. These efforts enhanced richer ways to improve learning adding project base learning. Teachers saw this as a problem of " road blocks" Teachers wanted to change traditional instruction by introducing a project base learning to support technology. Students created powerpoint presentations and other use of technology tools to bring their project to life. Students have more time to get feedback, deep thinking, and use imagery in English. Now the students have this time they can share and receive feedback from others to write a poem or assignments. Teachers can provide technology assistance to teach students how to use several programs. Students improved their writing and ownership of their projects when more time given. Students were engaged and enjoyed doing more projects than before.

Chellyiss,
ReplyDeleteI think that one of the most important things when using technology and the internet to teach our students is making sure that they know how to safely, but effectively, search the internet for the information they are looking for. As Mr. Pane says, students should know never to put any type of personal information on the internet because then everyone can see it. We need to make sure they are safe while learning. Great post!
