Communicate 1 - Communication Definitions

As technology, have progressed, I have seen that the way I communicate with others online has changed. I have definitely learned to adapt to my audience and understand when it comes to my tone and wording when I’m communicating with parents, students, and colleagues.

But now, everything is communicated digitally though the website, email, and text messages. I think as technology becomes more advanced, so will the classroom communication. I think this is important because the main goal is to reach the students at their level. So it’s imperative to ensure that we as teachers stay up to date.

This shows differentiation because students have the flexibility to show how to solve the given problem and how to show the information. Being that the activating question was given in story form, it allows the student to easily connect the content to real life situations and to branch out in various ways to show mastery.

Participate 1 - Joining a DLC

     I chose to join the Twiducate site as my designated DLC. The reason why I chose this site because it allows students and teachers to create personalized social media sites for the classroom. I thought this was very different, because it brings that social aspect to the classroom that students need, but may not be able to have It makes it secure and aimed for optimal student and teacher interaction without it being inappropriate or questionable. It also is a great way to incorporate collaborative learning in the classroom by having students research and share through Twiducate, all the new information they have found about the topic of the lesson. It’s very easy to use and set up and with my Bookmarking site; it will be easy for the students to see exactly where to go to log in. Also, the fact that it’s social media will be a big plus for students and make them want to interact with the class. Whenever you give students a chance to learn through avenues that are r...
