Invitation to Reflection
Imitation to Reflection 1-7
I think that some of the learning tasks were apart of my school, but not necessarily in my core classes. I took a writing class that was huge on tools of technology and is what helped me gain computer knowledge at a young middle school level. The other tasks were not taught to me, but this just shows how our educational world is changing around us, technology was just breaking out when I was younger. Saying and realizing that makes me feel old and outdated, but I do not have to be that way, I can learn technology as and with my students.
I believe the essential ones are proficiency in the tools of technology, building relationships to pose and solve problems, synthesizing multiple streams of information, evaluation of multimedia texts and attend to ethical responsibilities of these texts. I am also ready to teach all of these tasks because I believe to develop a 21st century learner these things are needed for success. Designing to share information for a global community, I feel that it can be taught but not as influential as the other tasks,
How will I handle
The growing number of struggling readers
Encourage them to read any books such as YA, I will show a liking and interest in student books, I will ask them what books they like and try to obtain them for their reading.
The growing number of ELL
I would try to group them with a work buddy that spoke both english and their shared language proficiently.
The pressures put on the teacher by standards
I will not buckle in regards to what my students need to learn, if I teach them properly, the standards will not be in the way because they will be prepared.
The pressure put on the classroom by stat
I will ensure not to teach to the test, and still make learning engaging and fun.
The integration of technology in the classroom
I will ensure that I learn new technology by staying in contact with other teachers and seeing what my students use on their own time and integrate it into class.
Effects of printed texts
I would always offer my students both, which ever they felt more comfortable with, ensuring they knew how to find both versions.
Expansion of literacy
I will allow my students to have a say in reading that relates to our material
Practical English
I will teach my students what they need and want to learn and all the rest will fall into place, I will teach them things meaningful to them, real life.
Censorship
I will make my students, teachers, and admin aware prior to starting the class the books that we will read and handle in any objections in the beginning as a defense.
Objective vs. Subjective tests
I will conduct mini-lessons when I encounter grammar lessons, and they will come up during teaching but that is not my main focus for every single lesson. I will give my students meaningful test not multiple choice to actually get an understanding of their understanding and not just their memorization skills.
Schools are failing young
I know that if I teach meaningful, relatable, fun things, I am reaching and teach towards the role of a 21st century student, I am helping them more than society knows.
Motivation
I will find things that are meaningful, and fun to me, I will be excited to teach because it is what I love.
21St Century Student
Students need to learn how to find information, when things change. We can not simply always hold their hands and tell them, when they leave our class they need to know how to find information on their own and most importantly how to decipher between good and bad information. Students need to be updated on technology and how and why to use it to adapt into this technological world.
I think what was not taught or modeled for me that I believe to be so important would be not teaching to the lesson, allowing the topic to flow and engage learning that way. I think that is the best and most engaging way to learn, then questions are answered, brains are engaged, versus tasks being checked off.
I think being on the other side is a bit scary this article made me aware of that. I was once the one who knew ALL technology, now I am the one learning it and my students will be very tech savvy.
