10 Promoting Success for All Students through Technology

*MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION IN 21^ST CENTURY SCHOOLS*

“Multicultural educators organize teaching and learning to achieve multiple outcomes at the same time—providing majority students information about individuals and groups who are different from them, while offering diverse opportunities to locate themselves and their histories and cultures within the school curriculum” (Maloy, Verock-O’Loughlin, Edwards, & Woolf, 2013, p. 244).

            Because America has such a diverse population, teachers are expected to meet the needs of all students by integrating multicultural education into the curriculum.  Due to the fact that we are living in the 21^st century, technology enables educators to provide multicultural education to all their students.  Teachers should be able to pull from sources on the web and teach multiple perspectives to reveal hidden histories, instruct students with information that their students can connect with, and create a classroom community where cultures and collaboration are celebrated.  In the history textbooks, not every side of an event is revealed; therefore, it is the teacher’s job to provide students with texts in which multiple perspectives of an event is revealed.  Moreover, by connecting classroom learning to students’ lives and to things they value, teachers are able to making learning relevant to their students.

*UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING*

“By emphasizing highly flexible instructional goals, strategies, and materials, UDL reduces potential barriers to learning while increasing learning opportunities for all students” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 250).

            Although it is frowned upon to teach in a uniform manner for all students, universal design for learning (UDL) is beneficial and is much more than teaching in a uniform manner.  UDL enables teaching in a universal way that can meet all students’ needs without taking away from any one student.  Furthermore, I have already practiced UDL unknowingly.  By using the SMART Board to display any writing to my students during my student teaching, I did not only cater to students who had poor vision, but also to students who learn better with visual aids.  I always enlarged the text on the SMART Board in order to ensure that everybody could easily read the learning material.  However, even though many teachers use technology in the class, they may not use it in a way to promote UDL.  For instance, in the classroom I observed in, using the SMART Board to project the answer key for the math homework would be considered UDL; however, the teacher did not zoom into the page, and left many students seated in the back row squinting and unable to check their homework.  Teachers need to be careful in guaranteeing the UDL they integrate into their classrooms truly reduce potential barriers to learning while enhancing all students’ learning opportunities.

11 Engaging Students in Performance Assessment and Reflective Learning

*TEACHING PRACTICES*

“Teachers foster student engagement by establishing a balance between teacher-chosen and student-chosen activities…students contribute to the learning process in ways such as those described by Steven Zemelman, Harvey Daniels, and Arthur Hyde…

·      Students select themes for study, reading materials, discussion topics, and formats for publishing their own writing.

·      Students set personal goals and document their progress.

·      Students’ own questions and interests are the focus of classroom discussion and study.

·      Students take responsibility for making decisions about classroom rules and procedures” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 284).

After reading through the different teaching practices to foster student engagement, I found myself relating to them during this course as well as when I taught over the summer.  These practices revolve around a student-centered way of teaching, and really give students a voice in completing their schoolwork.  Within the EDU 7266 course, I found myself selecting themes and formats for publishing my writing, setting personal goals and checking out my progress, and adding personal questions to the classroom discussion while listening to others talk about a topic of interest.  Over the summer, I always teach my students by starting out with creating the rules with my students and selecting materials of their interest.  However, if I were to incorporate all of the teaching practices listed above to engage my students in, I feel my teaching would connect better to my students and make learning more meaningful to them.

 **REASONS FOR TEACHING WITH CLICKERS*

“Student participation systems with clickers have numerous instructional advantages…Active learning…Student involvement…Real-time feedback…Question-centered instruction” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 288).

            I believe I have only used clickers only once throughout all my years in school.  Furthermore, I only used it during one class session in high school for a brief period of time.  However, I can still recall using the clicker and seeing myself as one of the highest scorers, even though nobody else knew those scorers were, due to the anonymity provided by the numbers that represented us.  Although I rarely have any experience with using clickers, I believe using clickers are beneficial and would really love to use them in my future classroom.  By teaching with clickers, everybody is engaged and alert, not falling asleep at their desks.  Clickers provide a competitive environment that promotes learning, as students compete to score as high as they can.  Furthermore, not only do clickers provide the teacher feedback as to what students know, but clickers also provide students with immediate corrective feedback after each question, when the answer is revealed before proceeding to the following question.  In addition, teaching with clickers promotes question-centered instruction, as students critically think to answer challenging questions and hold discussions with the class or with their groups.  I wish I had more experience with using clickers, for I would have absorbed much more information through this method than just a simple lecture.

***FOOD FOR THOUGHT...***

1)    How do you promote multicultural education in your own classroom/How has multicultural education looked like in the classrooms you observed?

2)    What is one method of UDL you use in your classroom/have seen in a classroom?

3)    How would you provide more student engagement by following the teaching practices listed by Zemelman, Daniels, and Hyde?

4)    If you use clickers/or would like to use clickers, how would a lesson with them look like in your classroom?

Lesson Learned on 11/11/15

Today, the lesson I took away was that we can use assistive technology in the classroom, and advocate for them for our students, to meet the needs of our students.  Assistive technology ranges from little to no technology, to mid- to high-technology.  Strategies, such as behavior modification, can be used in the curriculum as a form of assistive technology.  Manipulatives can be used as well, and it is considered to be low technology.  Calculators are considered mid-technology, and Electronic AAC devices are considered high-technology.  Furthermore, assistive technology is not only used for those with severe disabilities, but is also used for the general population.  For instance, if a student injures his/her hand and cannot use it to write, the teacher can provide a laptop for the student to use.  We teachers must be able to fight for the rights of our students to assistive technology, which will enable them to learn according to their needs.

CHAPTERS 7 & 8

7  Exploring Problem Solving with Software, Apps, and Games

* HIGHER-ORDER AND LOWER-ORDER THINKING  *

“...games that promote higher-order thinking should include most of the following elements:

·      Complex storylines with open-ended activities for game players to complete

·      Meaningful, age-appropriate characters who become learning companions for game players

·      Real-world settings that include complex puzzles that must be solved during game play

·      Opportunities for game players to interact with virtual characters as they play the game

·      Opportunities for replaying the game with different possible outcomes

·      Interesting and engaging graphics and the capacity for game players to zoom in and out of different game spaces” (Maloy, Verock-O’Loughlin, Edwards, & Woolf, 2013, p. 163).

Similar to how Bloom’s Taxonomy is used to create questions of different orders of thinking, games can be categorized as those that promote higher-order thinking or lower-order thinking based on their content.  In Bloom’s taxonomy, recalling information is lower-order thinking question, whereas creating is a higher-order thinking question.  Likewise, games promote higher-order thinking by enabling players to think creatively and critically as they encounter new and challenging experiences every time they play the game (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 163).  The different elements listed above really called out to me as they reminded me of my experience in making my WebQuest.  I wanted my WebQuest to have a game-like feel to it, so that my students would feel as if they were playing an educational video game while completing each task.  In order to accomplish this, I created mathematical word problems with a scenario to go with each, using storylines, opportunities for game players to interact with virtual characters, opportunities for replaying the game with different possible outcomes based on the clients they chose, and interesting and engaging graphics to accompany each storyline.  Although my WebQuest pales in comparison to a higher-order thinking game, I am happy with learning about the elements I could integrate into my WebQuest to turn it into such a game.

* INQUIRY LEARNING USING INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEMS  *

“Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are powerful new software programs that promote inquiry learning through computer responses to student actions.  As students answer questions, the computer records their responses and makes predictions about what users know and do not know” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 176).

            From the point of view of a learner, I believe that intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are awesome and can greatly improve student learning.  Just the other day, I used an app on my phone called Memrise to brush up on my Japanese vocabulary, and I observed how a flower would bloom for each term I answered correctly on multiple occasions.  Therefore, with repetition and multiple exposures to the Japanese vocabulary, and me spelling out the words, clicking on the correct word, or clicking on the correct term spoken orally, the app was able to keep track of which words I was able to successfully learn and would take out a term I mastered each time a flower bloomed for the term.  I find that software containing this feature can definitely aid learners in a way tailored to that particular learner, similar to how a tutor would tailor lessons based on the specific student. 

            From the point of view as a teacher, I also fully support ITS being used with my students.  In classes I have observed, many ELLs took turns in having independent time at the computer during the ELA block to play an educational game.  Once the students put on their headphones and signed in, they would continue where they last left off and play games focused on math skills or English skills.  After completing a game, the results would be forwarded to the teacher.  I am not exactly sure if the computer game software had the ITS function, but if it did, the computer games would be a great asset to use in my future classroom to provide students with the practice they need in the specific skills they struggle in.

8  Communicating and Collaborating with Social Media

* INTEGRATING ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS INTO YOUR TEACHING *

“There are several ways to use electronic communications and social media in inside- and outside-the-classroom professional work:

·      Teaching beyond the school day

·      Engaging students

·      Sharing information with families

·      Building learning communities

·      Publishing student work

·      Energizing student writing” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 189).

To become a 21st century teacher, it is important to use technology not only to communicate with others, but also to extend learning into the digital world.  For instance, families would love to hear about their children’s work, and some parents would love to know about the assignments, grading policies, and homework their children are involved in.  Furthermore, students would be greatly motivated to complete their work if they know it would be published for a large audience to view.  Classroom newspapers published online with student work could be shared with students in other classes, and with family members at home.

*   STRATEGIES FOR MODERATING ONLINE DISCUSSIONS  *

Strategies for moderating online discussions include the following: focusing on issues in which students find meaningful; stressing the significance of active, thoughtful participation; stressing rapid feedback; establishing clear rules students must follow for online conduct; responding in a direct yet tactful manner; and creating an online reading response form in which students use (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 201-203).

            I was always wondering about how to create an environment in which students could share their thoughts in a digital way safely.  When I came upon strategies for moderating online discussions, I immediately marked the pages in the textbook because I knew that I would refer to these strategies in the future for when I integrate online discussions into my curriculum.  First and foremost, rules should be set for students in conducting their behavior online.  Furthermore, other strategies that are important pertain to creating an engaging and relatable topic for online discussion, and immediate and effective feedback from both the teacher and peers.  I am already used to participating in online discussions on Blackboard as a student, but I know that as a teacher, online discussions would be taken to the next level, as I have to put in a lot of effort to act as a moderator for the online discussion to be a success.

***FOOD FOR THOUGHT...***

1)    Based on the six elements the textbook mentions games should have to be considered a higher-order thinking game, do you feel confident in evaluating games you would consider using in your classroom?  Why or why not?

2)    Would you use intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) in your classroom?  If you would like to, how would you integrate them into your class?

3)    How would you incorporate electronic communications into your teaching?

4)    If you were to open up an online discussion for your class, what would the topic be on, and what question would the students have to answer?

Lesson Learned 10/21/15

The lesson I took away today was how to create a WebQuest.  I read a little bit about WebQuests from Chapter 6 in the text; therefore, today's lesson, with the Romeo and Juliet example and a break-down of each section, really helped me understand WebQuests much better.  I learned how effective including images, numbering steps like in a checklist, bolding and underlining key points, and  providing clear instructions for everything,  I also learned how to embed hyperlinks and how significant it was to include extensions for students and other teachers to take the next step.  WebQuests are super interactive, student-centered, and goal-oriented.

CHAPTERS 5 & 6

5 Teaching Information Literacy and Digital Citizenship

*STRATEGIES FOR CONDUCTING EFFECTIVE SEARCHES WITH STUDENTS*

“A search engine has no way of knowing who asked the question…as a teacher, you must sort through masses of material to find what is relevant and age-appropriate for the class curriculum” (Maloy, Verock-O’Loughlin, Edwards, & Woolf, 2013, p. 110).

            Through elementary school and middle school, my main source for researching was library books.  However, nowadays, there is a shift to research being done through the Internet, even among the younger students.  A main issue with students using the internet is that there may be inappropriate information or false information that they may come upon when researching freely; therefore, it is our job as teachers to ensure them a safe and enjoyable experience with internet research. According to the text, the strategies suggested for teachers on how they can use search engines with students safely and effectively include the following:  introducing the search sites that are actually designed for students with age-appropriate material, teaching students to critically evaluate and question search results instead of merely acting the information at face value, using visual search tools that display visuals (like images and videos) instead of a list of URLs, and guaranteeing students with safe online experiences through preselecting sites for students to visit and adding them to the bookmarking tool for student access (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 110-112).

*RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIGITAL CITIZENS*

“Digital citizenship is a broad concept covering all aspects of appropriate technology use, from using social networks safely, to always citing sources, to plagiarism…Many schools have responded to the challenges of teaching digital citizenship by adopting Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs) that state the rules of technology use and the consequences of breaking those rules” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 117).

            The central goal for teachers is to be able to shape their students into great citizens who can contribute to the country.  Similar to how teachers are shaping their students into becoming outstanding and upright citizens, teachers must also shape students into becoming great citizens of the digital world by teaching them the ethics and etiquette of the digital world.  This is due to the fact that the world today is filled with technology, and the digital world has grown so large and has rules and regulations that citizens must follow similar to how they do outside the digital world.  I thought that it was interesting that with AUPs, there are stiff penalties that befall students who violate the rules of the digital world.  This makes it so much more apparent that violating the rules in the digital world can result in consequences that are very real and tangible, even if students feel as if the things they do in the digital world, beyond the screen, should not impact them.

6 Fostering Online Learning with Educational Websites and Apps

*DESIGNING SUCCESSFUL WEBQUESTS*

“For teachers, designing a successful WebQuest means answering four questions:

1. Who are the students and what are they capable of doing?

2. What are the primary ideas you wish to teach?

3. How will students at different skill levels productively work together?

4. Is technology integrated seamlessly into the assignment?” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 140).

            Because I never created a WebQuest before, let alone experience one myself, I thought it was important to note some questions to keep in mind while creating my WebQuest for this course.  I think these questions would serve as great guidelines in addition to the information provided by the teacher, for I can constantly reflect on my work and keep myself in check.  I think that these questions are effective not only for WebQuests, but also for any lesson and activity teachers plan because they are general questions that do strike the heart of a lesson.

*TAKING VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS*

“Virtual field trips are a flexible teaching approach…many museums, science centers, and other educational organizations have developed online field trip and virtual tour programs that do not require any human-to-human interaction, so no reservation is needed” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 140-141).

            I think that virtual field trips are an amazing tool that teachers can use to further their students’ learning.  Of course, field trips that students can physically go on are also important, but virtual ones are so significant because they enable students to experience things and places vicariously and learn from those experiences.  These field trips can be just as exciting as the 4-D theaters in attraction parks, as students are experiencing places as if they are traveling through them with their own two feet.  Moreover, virtual field trips make venturing to places a long distance away, such as the Palace of Versailles and the Great Wall of China, possible.  Furthermore, virtual field trips are awesome because some programs do not require reservations, which may be a hassle to do when planning field trips.

Lesson Learned 10/14/15

Today, I learned a lot about the controversial topic of Wikipedia.  Based on what my teachers always told me, Wikipedia was a "hands-off" source we could never use for our research papers.  However, Wikipedia is a website that has many pros and cons and can be used for many different purposes.  Although many people can edit Wikipedia pages, there is actually a team censoring the changes; thus, the site is trustworthy for its information.  I was very interested to learn that the website was started for the purpose of forming a Utopia for the Hippies on the internet.  They believed in sharing knowledge, and that knowledge is in the shaping and is constantly evolving.  Anybody who wants to contribute their knowledge can do so in a democratic way.

Lesson Learned 10/7/15

Today, the lesson that I learned was that learning comes in many forms.  Learning is done through repetition, remembering, applying, teaching someone else, creating, demonstrating, mastering, and showing off skills.  There are so many different levels of learning, for learning itself is a layered process.  Therefore, learning can be demonstrated in multiple ways.

Another lesson I took away from today was that educational theories are there to help us predict and plan.  Theories of Learning give us teachers different perspectives, different lenses to look through. There is behaviorism, cognitive information processing, and constructivism.  Each theory defines learning a little differently, and have their own ways of assessing learning.  In behaviorism, learning is defined as a change in the probability of a behavior occurring, and assessment can come in the form of observations.  Cognitive information processing defines learning as a change in knowledge stored in memory, and assessment can come in the form of creation and retrieving information on exams.  Lastly, constructivism defines learning as a change in meaning, which is constructed from experience; assessment may come in the form of observations of students' reflection of their learning experience.

Lesson Learned 9/23/15

Nowadays, the largest enemy of the digital gap is no longer on the affordability of technology and access to WiFi.  Because students are able to access technology more easily now than ever before, teachers are able to include more technology into their curriculum.  Students can access free WiFi in areas like the library and McDonald's.

Teachers are now able to include digital products into the curriculum by using apps on the computer. For instance, iMovie Maker and Garage Band can be used to make projects that cover art, music, writing, and much more.  Students can take part in collaborative learning, and even have their own digital portfolios.  It would be wonderful to make learning more engaging in this manner.

CHAPTER 1

1 Becoming a 21^st Century Teacher

*TODAY’S STUDENTS AND TECHNOLOGY*

Students of today’s generation are part of an “iGeneration,” those who grew up with technology as a constant feature of their everyday lives (Maloy, Verock-O’Loughlin, Edwards, & Woolf, 2013, p. 3)

            Although I did grow up with technology, students nowadays grew up even more immersed in technology than I, as they are members of an iGeneration.  I grew up watching television, and playing with computer games and my Game Boy while students nowadays grew up with cell phones, tablets, all forms of video games, and etc.  An eight-year-old student of mine showed mastery using her iPad to search up how to spell words she had difficulty spelling using the web as well as a dictionary app.  The existence of today’s iGeneration makes me understand how important it is for me as an educator to learn how to incorporate educational technology into my curriculum to create engaging and meaningful lessons for my students.

*21^ST CENTURY LITERACIES AND SKILLS*

“To live and work successfully in this new century, students must have the basic competencies of reading, writing, and computation, and an array of technology-based literacies, including proficiency with technology tools, the ability to build relationships and solve problems collaboratively, the capability to design and share information, the capacity to analyze and evaluate information from multiple sources, and the capability to handle information in ethical ways” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 11)

            Literacy evolves with time.  Literacy no longer refers to just printed texts, but also to digital texts.  I think it is important for teachers to be able to teach their students to be capable of comprehending texts of printed and digital forms, and that come from multiple sources.  Furthermore, it is vital to teach students to be competent in array of technology-based literacies and to become proficient in using technology tools because today’s society is immersed in technology.  College and career readiness now includes prepping our students in these competencies.

*TEACHING 21^ST CENTURY LEARNERS WITH 21^ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGIES*

“1. Internet technologies teach students how to access and assess online information and act as digital citizens. Examples include WebQuests, virtual field trips, interactive educational websites, and webcasts.” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 13)

            Although I was incompetent at researching by using the Internet, I was forced to use the computer pretty often to conduct research projects and papers ever since I was in middle school.  I really wished the young me was explicitly taught how to use internet technologies; I even wish the current me can be explicitly taught how to.  As a future educator, I will be incorporating many technologies in my classroom and will remember how important it is to teach certain skills explicitly in order for my students to master the skills.  Moreover, I think that it is vital to teach students using WebQuests and interactive educational websites because they are very engaging and promote inquiry-based learning in students.

CHAPTER 2

2  Understanding Educational Technological Issues and Trends

*A CAREER THAT MATTERS

“Teaching is a career that matters to everyone…it requires constant learning” (Maloy, Verock-O’Loughlin, Edwards, & Woolf, 2013, p. 23).

            I absolutely believe that teaching is a career that matters, that influences most individuals that have been through any type of schooling.  As someone who strives to become an effective educator, I understand the significance in a teacher’s ability to convey learning to students in an engaging way they can internalize the material learned, differentiate learning to suit students’ needs, and constantly reflect and improve oneself to become an even better teacher than ever before.  I believe that a teacher must constantly grow, develop, and learn, for there is always room for improvement; this is especially true because teachers influence their students, children who we hope will grow up to become proud citizens who contribute to their society.   As teachers grow and continue to learn, they must understand how technology changes teaching and learning in the today’s society, and be able to learn how to enrich their curriculum through technology.

*YOUR INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL READINESS

Types of technology users:

1)    “Digital collaborator,” an individual that utilizes online and mobile technology readily to make and share information with others,

2)    “Ambivalent networker,” an individual who finds online and mobile devices intrusive despite using them often,

3)    “Media mover,” an individual who utilizes online and mobile technology as a medium for interacting with others often,

4)    “Roving node,” an individual who turns to online and mobile technology as a way to manage work and to gather information,

5)    “Desktop veteran,” an individual who primarily utilizes desktop computer technology for work and communication yet rarely uses mobile devices,

6)    “Drifting surfer,” an individual who rarely uses technology, and if so, it is to gather information,

7)    “Information encumbered,” an individual who attains information through old media, such as telephones and print materials, instead of the Web or mobile devices,

8)    “Mobile newbie,” an individual who rarely uses technology because of a paucity of knowledge and confidence with devices,

9)    and “Technology indifferent,” an individual who sometimes utilizes online and mobile technology, yet is happy to not use them (Maloy et al., 2013, p.26-27)

I was shocked to learn that there are so many different types of technology users, and there are even labels used to describe each type of user.  I believe that knowing these types of technology users is important because in this modern society, we have now have an iGeneration of technology users.  They may not have the same amount of experience with technology even though they are exposed to technology, and may use them for certain purposes regularly, which relates back to the different types of technology users that are labeled above.  By understanding our students better in terms of what types of users they are, teachers are able to better plan and implement lessons that cater to their needs and interests.  Furthermore, by understanding what type of technology users we as teachers are, we can strive to become a different type if we are not able to use technology efficiently and innovatively as an educator.  I believe I am a digital collaborator, but I continue to strive to become better at using technology and to learn of different ways to incorporate it into my lessons.

*STUDENTS AND THEIR TECHNOLOGIES

“…digital disconnect…students see schools lagging behind their technology expectations…As a teacher, your actions will either bridge or extend the digital disconnect that so many students perceive between themselves and their schools” (Maloy et al., 2013, p. 40-41).

            It is important to understand our students who grow up using technology, and ourselves as teachers who attempt to apply technology to student learning.  Although we may attempt to use technology, it may not reach the expectation of our students.  Thus, teacher must strive to provide active learning environments that include technology that is relevant and that engages students.  I want to become a teacher that can make learning fun and meaningful for my students by incorporating the following: the computer and its applications, the Web, inquiry-based WebQuests, blogs, digital storytelling, and educational software.
