Digital Blog #K - Chapter 6
The first concept I would like to talk about comes from the section "Managing information Electronically". I believe as a future educator if we are not constantly learning and keeping up with the new rules and regulations we would fall behind as teachers. For example at my daycare we are constantly taking new refresher classes to learn the new rules and research. The regulations are always changing and they are coming out with new discoveries about how children learn. For teachers to be update on these things they are able to give there students the best education. With having such access to the internet they are able to answer any questions their students ask right away. It also makes it easier to store files on their computers rather than stacks of papers and lesson plans. They can just go to the search bar and type in what file they are looking for and there it is, instead of searching through stacks of papers.
The second concept I would like to talk about comes from the section " Building a Standard Connector". I feel like this could be something extremely useful for teachers. If they had one for every department in a school they all collaboratively work on it and put websites on there they found useful. I also feel like this is a great backup plan if computers went down you would not lose all your websites you found, because they would be backed up online. This could also be very beneficial if you went to a conference with lets say math teachers from all over. If they created one, then when all teachers got back to their schools they could all post on there with different ideas on how to teach something. This is a great way to get new ideas from other teachers on how they have been successful with certain topics.
The third topic I would like to talk about comes from the section "Taking Virtual Field Trips". I think this an amazing thing. This could be the most useful in a history or social studies class. When teachers are coming up with lesson plans sometimes students tend to tune out, but if the teacher took them on a virtual field trip they would not tune out. This may also help the teacher explain the different era of time they are studying. It may also help the students understand the architecture of buildings across the world that they may never be able to see. They could also use this tool as a part of a project. Assign a place to a group of students and have them take a tour of the place and do a report on it.

Digital Blog Post #J- Chapter 11
My first concept comes from the section "Test assessments and performance evaluations". I think from being an educator already that there are more ways then just the old fashion test and quizzes to evaluate a students progress. I know working with young students we are constantly evaluating our students in a non traditional way. I am always taking observations to make sure they are developing appropriately or are doing the same things as their classmates. We make it into fun little games to see if they can stand on one leg (to make sure their motor skills are there) see if they can throw and catch a ball when you throw it at them. I personally would rather evaluate my students in a fun way rather then always sitting them down for a paper test. It is not really the same for teacher evaluations. I remember back in high school the principal would always pop into classes just for a few minutes to make sure the class is going smoothly and the teachers are doing the right thing.
For my second concept I would like to talk about comes from the section "Portfolios and refection". This to me seems like it is your resume and kid of like this blog. You get to talk yourself up in the portfolios to sound good for your future employee. For the refection you get to talk about what went good in your classroom what worked and what didn't. This is a great way for a teacher to keep track of different activities they did with the students and how they went over so for the next year you have an idea of how it will go. You can also use reflections to go back and see what you can fix for next time and why it did not work this time. It is a good way to keep all your projects and crafts in order and on track. It also can help if you have a challenging student to write about and then come back to it after you have calmed down and think about how you can change the situation for next time or what you could have done differently.
For my last concept I would like to talk about comes from the section " Involving Students in Learning and Assessments". I am a firm believer that students will be more likely to do their work if you give them to options of what they want to do. I will agree with this section a classroom works better as a democracy. If you allow the students to decide if they are ready to take a test then odds are when you take the test the scores will be higher. Also what I have notices while doing homework with some of the school aged students at my daycare for their spelling homework they are given a paper with several different options on how they would like to do their spelling. The only rule is they have to pick three of the options and have them done by Friday. When I talked to the teachers they said they had seen a increase in students doing their homework this way. I think when students feel like they are also in charge they are willing to work with you and do what you need. In my classroom we use conscious discipline. This is were you give the students choices if they want to do one thing or another thing. This way you are not disciplining them in the old fashion way, but still are with allowing them to pick what they want.

Digital Blog Post #H - Chapter 9
For the first concept I would like to talk about it comes from the very beginning of this chapter, section "Lights, Camera, History". I think doing a project like this class did it great. It allows not only for the students to learn more about history, but it helps them to work on their writing skills, technology, and creative skills. Doing a group project like this allows the students to pick what they want to do their video about and when you allow them to decide what they want to do it on they are normally more willing to do and have more fun with it. This project allows for the students to think outside of the box with how they want to present their skit and what they want to include and how would they write and direct a short film. I would not personally do this project often, but I would definitely do a project like this one at least once a year for a very weighted grade.
The second concept I would like to talk about is from the section " Comparing minimum and multimedia Classroom Technology". I believe that the example they used about the water cycle is very true. If you just show a picture with all the arrows going every which way it is hard to understand. If you are in a classroom that is digitally advanced I believe showing a motion picture video about how the water cycle works along with the picture handout for them to write on is the best way to teach them. It lets them see how the cycle works in real motion instead of just the picture. This can also help teach different learners, before we had technology it was hard to teach to different learners. Now that we have this classrooms with interactive whiteboards and access to computers all the time it is easier to accommodate each student. This would have been very helpful when I was in school, because I learn better by seeing and being hands on.
The third concept I would like to talk about comes from the section "Tech Tools 9.1 Digital Projects and Document Cameras." In high school this was our bestfriend when we had to present projects. It was so easy to switch between showing your presentation to showing the class an enlarged picture of something you brought in. This can be very helpful to teachers, by keeping the students engaged and paying attention. They can use the document camera when they are doing a class discussion and the teacher can write down exactly what the students say. It can also help with if the teacher brings something in that is small to show the class they can put it underneath the camera and enlarge it for everyone to see.

Digital Blog Post #G - Chapter 10
Our question is what is reflective writing? In my own opinion I believe reflective writing is when you read something and instead of summarizing it or taking notes. You think about what you have read and think about how it can relate back to you in some way. It makes you think critically and out of the box.
I think reflective writing is more beneficial than summarizing or note taking. When you reflect you are able to connect it to what is going on in your life helping you remember what you read better. I use to use reflective writing in a lot of my classes like this one for example. When I read the chapter I think about how I can use the new technology in my class I currently have or in future classes. It is a good way to think about what you have done in class and how you can improve it with technology.
The first concept I want to talk about is at the very beginning. When Dan has a dilemma, it is one that every teacher faces. How do we make our classroom so every child has a chance to learn without leaving one learning style behind? I face this issue everyday in my own classroom. Every single student you have is different and learn differently. This is something I struggle with to figure out. I think the best way for a teacher to accomplish teaching every student to their learning way is finding out which way they learn. Then splitting them into groups where they can work with other students who learn the same way as them.
The next concept I would like to talk about is from the section "Multicultural Education in the 21st Century Schools". This section is basically talking about how when we teach a lesson we need to relate it back to different cultures. Even though schools have dedicated months to different cultures they need to talk about them more than just then. I remember back in high school my history teacher would take every opportunity he could to talk about what was going around in the world at that time period with different race. It is good for students to learn about their different traditions and what they have gone through.
The third concept I would like to talk about comes from the section "Creating Culturally Relevant Curriculum and Instruction". It talks about how students remember things the best by when they can relate the things back to them. I remember back in high school I used to always complain about vocabulary words and how we had to put them into sentences we would remember. Still to this day I remember sentences he wanted us to write and the vocabulary words and each meant, because he allowed us to connect it to whatever we wanted. I think when teachers do this it helps to allow the students to relate it back to what they want and care about.

Digital Blog post #D- Chapter 5
The first concept I want to talk
about really bothers me, it comes from the section “e-Books and e-Readers”. I
strongly feel that in this aspect the technology we have is ruining the fun of
reading a book. The statistics are clearly stated that the percent of students
not even picking up a book has increased. I feel like picking up a book at the
end of a night is one of the most relaxing things to do. For young children it
is better for them to have a hard book so they can actually turn the page look
at the pictures more closely than if they were using an e-Book. Yes there are
some beneficial sides to using an e-Book if it is hard to find that book in
stores or a library, but otherwise reduce the amount of screen time a young
child will have in anyways you can. I know growing up we always had the option
to use e-Books for our textbooks, but I would always opt out and use the old
fashion textbook, because I had learned better that way. I feel like if they
made all students use e-Books it would not benefit the students who learn
better from the textbook.
The second topic I would like to
discuss comes from “Becoming Fluent with Technology”. I do agree that students
learn better by doing hands on rather than learning it from a book. In high
school I was put into a lever 2 T.V production class. I had never been in one
before or knew how to work anything in the studio. By the time I graduated high
school I was the best anchor they had and knew how to run everything in the
studio. In some things students would rather do trial and error to figure
things out rather than go by a manual. When you do trial and error you also
find knew things on your electronic to do, which you normally wouldn’t find by
going by the book. It also is more interesting to students when they can figure
it out by themselves.
The third topic I would like to
talk about is in the section “Electronic Note-Taking”. When I did classroom
observations all the students had these computers called cromebooks. They were
laptops the schools gave to the students for homework, classwork, projects, and
note taking. I think in the day in age we live in that students can type up
notes faster and use short hand, then later go back and retype their notes the
correct way. Most students spend more time on their electronics then they do actually
writing so they are faster at it. This could also help minimize the teachers
issues of not being able to read the students handwriting. This also allows for the teachers to keep tract of the students notes and when assignments are due. It shows how many are turned in before the deadline and if students come into class and that number rises the teacher knows they are late.

Digital Blog post #B- Chapter 2
The first concept I would like to talk about is digital
dialog 2.1. I feel like in today’s classroom the mobile computer lab is used
way more than I ever got to use it in high school. Yes there are lots of
benefits to using it. The students tend to stay more focused and do their work
with them instead of using textbooks. On the other hand it is good for teachers
to put the mobile labs away and do things the old fashion way. I remember in
high school when teachers would drawl pictures on the board to help us remember
things would sometimes work better then learning the things from the computer
would. Also we know these students are using lots of technology outside of
school. So why spend all day at school doing the same thing. I believe that
when they are at school they should be socializing during the lesson (when it
is appropriate) instead of having their face in a laptop. I think teachers
should limit how many times they bring the mobile lab in down to once a week or
every other week. Now with the being said I think how many times you bring it
in should depend on how old the children are.
The second concept I would like to talk about is What
Motivates You to Use or to Consider Using Technologies in Teaching? When I was
reading this section I thought about my time in high school. The gap between
junior and senior year is the time I saw the most drop outs. I do agree with
the textbook that it is because students get bored. At this time they just want
to be done with high school and out in the real world. I think if teachers kept
it interesting and involved their favorite thing technology into their class
the students would be less likely to drop out. I remember even being a senior
and getting excited when my teachers would tell us to meet them in the computer
lab. Not much should change from when I was in high school to when I will be
teaching. Teachers could also use these computer privileges as a token economy.
If they used this as incentives if they come to class or do certain assignments
they will get x amount of computer privileges.
The third concept that really hit me was the digital divide.
It makes sense that low income families do not have access to technology that
is need for school. When you are actually in high school and assigned a group
project you do not think about if your other group members have access to the
technology they need. It is not always easy for these students to get to a
library to work on these project or if they can the library many not have the
most updated software they need. There is also not enough time in the day for
the students to do it at school, because when I was in high school we were not
allowed in the library on lunch. Then we had no other time during the day to go
because we were in other core classes that mattered. I think a great way to solve
this problem is if the teacher was able to plan for a day or two for the class
to have the mobile lab or go to the computer lab so these students can work on
their projects without feeling awkward for not being able to do the project for
lack of technology at home. Most high schoolers do not like to admit the fact
they do not have access to the technology they need and teachers know that so
if it was possible to help these students out as much as they can without their
classmates knowing.

Digital Blog Post #A- Chapter 1
The first concept that I encountered was how much time children spend on social media. It shocked me at how much time young children spend playing on computers, but at the same time did not surprise me. Growing up I remember being outside and playing. We did not have access to computers, video games, or social media like children do today. It was a special opportunity to go to the computer lab at school, but now there are computers in every classroom. After reading this chapter I decided to do an observation in my classroom. Almost every student wanted to play on our computers at least once during the day if not the whole time we were in free centers. Also when the parents came to pick up their children at least 6 out of 10 parents would have the child's iPad or electronic with them to get them to go or bribe them with it being in the car to go home.
The second concept I want to talk about is setting up a classroom website or wiki. I wish they had these growing up for me. Being able to post things as a student and having everyone in your class at your disposable to ask for help is great. I remember going into class that next and not always having time to ask one of my classmates for help on the homework, and I could not do it at home, because I did not have any of their information. I think being able to have a class website where each student can post questions about homework or an assignment they are doing would really help increase the grades. Also since the teacher can see what they are asking for help on if enough kids did not understand it they would know that they have to spend more time on that topic. Also if the teacher had extra notes or found a video on the topic they were talking about being able to post it to the website would be helpful to the students at home.
The third concept I would like to talk about is how when students graduate they will go into a field that requires them to use technology. In high school I thought it was ridiculous to have to take tech classes, but once I got into the work force I realized how beneficial they are. I think it should be required for all graduating students to take the basic technology classes whether they think they know what they are doing or not. There are a lot of things I still do not know how to do that I could have learned in those classes if they were required. I also think if these high school students know how to work these computers and websites they will then be able to teach the older generations how to work these. Thus benefiting more than just these future graduates. Now if you introduce these technology classes to 4th and 5th graders it would benefit them more than the high schoolers. They would be able to show their parents how to use the different applications making it easier for the parents to help them. Also if they have these classes for the younger students then come time for high school they wouldn't have to take the classes leave more time for them to take AP or college classes.
I really liked this video because it helped explain how using computers in a young classroom are very beneficial. It is like having another teacher in there. I even notice it in my own classroom; children are more likely to sit down at the computer and play an interactive game about counting or phonetics then to sit down with a teacher and pay attention.
In conclusion, I think they should keep the computers in the younger classrooms, but monitor what the students do on it. They should monitor how much time each student has the computer and make sure no one student goes over a certain amount of time. This chapter helped me to realize how much more you can do with technology in the classroom and how much you could use it for a teaching tool. I am excited to see what other good ideas I can get from this class to help incorporate into my classroom.

I am excited to see what other good ideas I can get from this class to help incorporate into my classroom.
