NETS-T 1
I
want to encourage the students to explore real-world issues. In social studies, we are discussion creating
a community and natural resources. With
the storms that have been hitting the United States in the past few years, I
want the students to learn about the storms effects on the community and how
the communities are rebuilding. I want
the students to use a communication tool to explain what they have
learned. We will complete one storm
together and then I will have the students choose another natural
disaster. As the students are able to
research real-world issue, I will ask them to complete a real-world event every
week. They will have to use a digital tool
to present the event.

In
my past lesson plans, I was taught to always put technology in the lesson. Whether it be the independent practice, a
video, or a reteach program. Now, I am
starting to think about technology as important as the explanation. Technology is supposed to be used in as many
steps of the lesson as possible. There
are many digital tools that can be used for each subject. I want to learn about all the tools that are
able to help teach the students. I also
want the students to be able to use the tools independently and complete their
own learning on topics that they are interested in. If I can make learning fun and interesting, I
can encourage and motivate my students to learn and succeed.

In
this century, there are multiple ways for the parents to interact with the
teacher and be aware of how their student is doing. The parents used to have to write a paper
note or leave a voicemail and although those are still ways of communication, technology
has also brought parents closer into the classroom. The parents can now e-mail the teacher. The schools create websites and every teacher
has their own page. The parents can
visit the teacher’s page to find out what is happening in the classroom and
what their child is learning. The school
also has a program for the parents to access their student’s grades. The parents no longer have to wait until the
progress report or report card to come out to know the child’s grades. The parents will be able to know the grades
and work missing help parents become more involved in their child’s
education.

Hi Jeanine, I liked your post this week on the NETS-T indicators. I wondered what types of technology tools you would specifically use for some of your ideas. I think for the first NETS-T indicator, you could use Microsoft PowerPoint or even Prezi. I'm glad you brought up communication in your third paragraph because I think finding ways to use technology with parent communication effectively could become a lifesaver for many teachers. I already use some of the tools that you wrote about there. What specifically would your GAME plan be to improve communication with technology? How would you monitor or evaluate the progress of your goals?

Thank you for your feedback. What is Prezi?
ReplyDeleteFor the second, I am going to monitor parent involvement. I am also going to chart to see the students grades increase and number of missing assignments decrease.
Jeanine,
ReplyDeleteI like your focus on the first standard in your post. Real-world issues and authentic learning opportunities are essential in today's classrooms. Students are more vested with issues that affect them, and I believe service-learning activities offer great opportunities for students to connect with the community. Do you plan to have students share their presentations with people in the community, or other communities affected by the natural disaster/extreme weather events?
