Differentiation through technology

 

 

 






Teachers need to be ale to provide the right level of support for each individual student. Teachers need to adjust their teaching strategies to support the students learning needs. They can use scaffolding and cooperative learning when giving instruction on some task. According to (Spector et al, 2008) another reason to adapt content to learners relates to demographic and social cultural differences among students, which can affect learning outcomes and ultimately achievement.

Summative and formative assessments are tools at our disposal we could use to show our students growth. I teach special education so I am not a fan of standardized test. However, standardized test is a way to guide teachers with helping the student achieve their goals. I gather feedback within my lessons. I use surveys/polls to engage my students. I use nearpod for active learning. I find the students will be more willing to share if we work as a whole group rather than working independently. Social learning is another way I observe my students and a way I get them talking and feeling comfortable working remotely. According to (Brummelen, 2009) the teacher main role is to facilitate learning. Teachers provide the right environment and motivation for learning.

Security data and Student Privacy

  Student privacy is a big deal and protecting it is important. Students need to fill safe when roaming the internet and putting their personal information online. It is important because every company uses online data to gather information. For example, just about every job requires people to apply online and submit their personal information, such as social security number, name, mailing address, and date of birth. 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.
