Three videos that demonstrated the use of digital media and technology in the classroom:
1. How Is Technology Transforming Teaching & Classrooms? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeUEZaoCX9E) 2. New School (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y17l-hxFz1M) 3. Screentime and your child (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwfQxF-2Jyk) A. What is the purpose of the lesson-is it an intro to new material, review, extending, learning, etc? I decided to do my write up on the PBS video titled "How is Technology Transforming Teaching and Classrooms?" The video discusses how online adaptive learning programs can meet students where they are and gives them opportunities to growth and fill in learning holes. The video also share about 21st Century classrooms in which technology in infused in the decor and organization of a classroom. I would like to see school districts be more open-minded when in comes to classroom designs, purchasing options and technology. B. Ask yourself: How do you know the students are learning? In the video I know that students are learning because they are using online curriculum which uses pretests to assess student knowledge and adjusts the content levels accordingly. C. Ask yourself: What is the teacher doing? The teacher seems to more of a facilitator than a teacher. They are involved with the students instead of using lots of direct instruction. Having students act as facilitators shares the responsibility of learning with the child. I sometimes see teachers working harder than their students during a class. Of course teachers should be prepared and innovative but I like when classroom teacher challenge their students, push them and allow them the freedom to excel. D. Could you potentially use this lesson? Yes, I could use the components of the lesson. I loved the idea of a 21st Century classroom where the decor allows for work and collaboration in a less restrictive environment. I also use online adaptive curriculum and have seen large increases in student growth.
