Communicate Reflection

This module has prepared me to be able to communicate with my students professionally, positively and effectively. I was able to learn about using technology do create meaningful feedback, as well as rubrics and newsletter. Strategies that I have learned is that in communications, I should be precise and on topic and straight to the point when addressing my students. In my newsletter, I made sure that I keep all announcem,ents biref anf straight to the point, as well as interesting and inviting. Also, everything I communicate should be standards based and educational. The lesson that was most beneficial to me was the lesson about feedback. As a teacher, I have given a lot of oral feedback to my students, but learning how it differs with an online classroom was very enlightening and I know the differences that have to be addressed in order for the student to get the support they need in order to be successful in the classroom. Using the screen cast site, I was able to still provide that oral feedback, and ensuring the student got what they needed. Also, learning about the stakeholders and their purpose in the school and to the success of students was very informative. It’s good to be able to look at all the roles in the school, and understand everyone’s responsibility. The Prezi presentation allowed me to really break down the roles and think about each roles impact on the school

Participate 2- Collecting Reputable Digital Resources

     When thinking about which web based tools I should use, I thought about what would beneficial for my students in a math classroom. I googled virtual versions of the tools I currently use in the classroom and that helped mold the decision about what three tools I would bookmark in my social bookmarking website. The three tools that I bookmarked in my social bookmarking website were virtual algebra tiles, a math dictionary, and a scientific calculator. I chose these tools because math has been very paper based for centuries and many thinks that it’s difficult to be successful in math virtually, but it is possible with the proper tools. An orientation at the beginning of the course would be the perfect way to teach students how to find important tools like these and how to ensure that the tools are beneficial and also safe for the classroom. Important policies that should be used in deciding which tools are safe and helpful would be that is the site isn’t on the ap...

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...

Participate - Accessing Digital Learning Communities

My county was ranked number one in the state for accessibility of internet in households. I know that this is mainly because my county is partnered with Verizon that provides internet to all students. Also there is a program for students with free or reduced lunch to get internet at a reduced rate. I believe that if there wasn’t opportunity for students to have internet at home, I would help students to ensure they have access to internet and a computer during school whether in my classroom or library and that I would give them opportunities in the class to work with technology. Being that the entire course is offered online, if it becomes a major problem for students to have access to complete work, I would try to help the student and parents to find other avenues of learning. In the end, ensuring that the student has the best opportunity to learn is key, so if need be, I would ensure that the students have what they need before anything else.
