Data Collection

 


Fortunately, being a special education teacher requires me to collect data on my students. I use teacher made test, parental input, other colleagues that teach the student, and curriculum-based assessments. I then use the assessments to integrate the area the student is struggling in and apply it to my lesson plans. So, far I have not taught my students how to collect and organize data. My students struggle with keeping record of their in school and community hours. They tend to forget to write them down when they come back from their job site. I think it would be a good idea for them to learn how to collect data because it would give them a chance to see what area they struggle in and it will teach them organizational skills. Often times students just hear the teacher state what area they need help in. According to (Ornstein et al, 2017) the hidden curriculum a term used by many critics of contemporary school is what students learn, other than academic content, from what they do or are expected to do in school.

Security data and Student Privacy

So, we must be extremely careful when online. Therefore, safeguarding the websites is important. “ We argue that technological measures should provide transparency about data uses, provide accountability for algorithmic decisions, and ensure the security of learners’ data” (Reidenberg & Schaub, 2018). In the future, I can see how not honoring privacy can lead to additional fines and harsher sentences from the federal courts. Students learning now comes from technology. They use certain apps to help them better understand the content. So, the apps that they use ne...

Technology Demonstration

  I choose kahoot because I thought it would be a fun and interactive game for my students. Also, since we are currently learning virtually my students have either access to a phone, tablet, or laptop. This gives them further practice with working with technology. This was effective because it’s a review of the exact quiz they will be taking. I would keep using kahoot as long as we are virtual because this is something that my students loved and it was effective.
