Summary of Learning

Experiences in EdTech

Sharing

  • As a teacher, it is important for me to share what I'm doing in the classroom.
  • If teachers do not share, we will not be able to grow and learn ways of teaching.
  • Although there are many fears to sharing, it is important to look past them to the many positives.

Open-minded

  • In order to share, I need to be open to the idea first
  • I need to keep my personal life and professional life separated, the formality of them are different

Open-minded

  • The use of textbooks are going down, I need to be familiar with technology in order to progress with the times
  • Technology is what students know, it will be easier to stimulate their learning and get them excited.

Digital Citizenship

  • Being open-minded to technology is a big step, but so is understanding the do's and don'ts
  • It is important to keep my personal life and professional life separate, the way I communicate is different
  • Students also need to be taught how to use technology appropriately, in and out of the classroom.

Digital Learning Spaces

  • To get students to use technology in the correct way, the space they are in needs to be a reflection.
  • Students can learn in more places than just the classroom, it can take place almost anywhere.
  • Online schools are becoming popular.
  • Feedback from students about how/where they learn best is crucial.

Formal Assessments

  • Getting feedback about where/how students learn is important, so is using data from formal assessments they take.
  • I can take a quick questionnaire before and after a lesson to see how effective it was in their learning.
  • Students can be assessed through exit slips, surveys, and there are websites/apps that can be used as well

Major Project

  • The major project was very helpful to me.
  • It allowed me to pursue something I'm interested in while using the Cool Tools.
  • I was able to better understand using technology is a fun and creative way for student's to explore and learn new things.
