Social Responsibility

 

Social responsibility is a huge thing and educators should teach it responsibly. The future of social responsibility is changing and evolving. Students need to understand how to be socially aware when roaming the internet. The social platform is being used for everything. Students are using it for religion, school, and personal use. Students need to be taught that not every website is truthful or insightful. Also, it is the duty of the educator to educate the students about tough situations that most people are afraid to touch on based on their fear of being called insensitive. “Education is about opening minds, creating new knowledge” (Educators and social responsibility: What this means to informed citizenry, 2020).  

The future is bright and with all that has happened in the past recent years, educators will be teaching about things people want to keep hidden. Every student should be aware of the different things happening in the world and how to be socially responsible online. “Educational institutions around the world are aware that providing a quality and talented workforce is no longer sufficient to differentiate themselves from other education institutions” (Social responsibility in education-challenges and perspectives, 2018). This means that every school needs to provide training for their teachers so that they can properly teach students about being socially responsible.

Gaming in Education

  Individual learners play a central role in a technology-enhanced learning environment (Jonassen et al, 2008). The benefits of gaming increases overall motivation within the classroom. Students are more engaged and willing to participate in the lesson. They encourage one another and they can get a bit competitive. At the end of my unit for history class, I divide the students into two-three teams and they have to work together to find the answer. The challenge of gaming is that students might not understand the gaming process. For example, I played jeopardy as a review and it took some students a little longer to get the concept, which annoyed those who did. Roblyer & Hughes (2019) states that games may be inappropriate for children if they are not designed with a respectful outlook.   Reference Hughes, J., & Roblyer, M.D. (2019).

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
