Teaching with technology and personalizing learning with choice is essential to Klein ISD learners because many students have already "checked out" by intermediate/middle school level because they may not see education as important or relevant to their lives. Others learn more quickly (not challenged) or at a slower pace (needing more support). We want our learners to embrace challenges and think critically, and while this can be done with traditional methods, students may be more engaged using technology and choice. Instructional methods like choice menus can help students develop problem-solving skills in context of the content and can utilize student interest and ownership to encourage engagement with the content. Technology allows our students to collaborate and learn from their peers and it allows the teacher to assess learning more quickly and provide feedback to encourage student growth and provide targeted support for learners.
ReplyDeleteI think it is very important for students to be challenged and technology gives them choices and highly engaged content to spark interest.
DeleteI agree with you about technology allowing our students to collaborate with each other like never before.
DeleteI agree with you that technology allows teachers to access learning more quickly which can help in personalizing instruction for each student.
DeleteTeaching with technology and personalizing learning with choice is essential to Klein ISD learners because it give students a chance to demonstrate their knowledge in a way that is suited to their interests/talents. Some students cringe at the thought of drawing/coloring/outlining a scene depicting life in a Native American village, but they could use a program or app, like Storyboard That, that would give them a digital way to work around a lack of art skills or lack of motivation to complete "another" drawing. Personalizing and technology also gives students time to better pace themselves and to work together (online) outside of the classroom. Many students are motivated by technology and will continue to work on things at home and will seek answers to their questions by looking online or at Google Classroom.

ReplyDeleteTeaching with technology and personalizing learning with choice is essential to Klein ISD learners because that way students are challenged and can focus on topics that interest them. If a student is doing an assignment that truly interests them, they they will be engaged and learn the new information.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kathy's comment - by giving students a choice, they get to work in the way they prefer, yet still learning the content material.

ReplyDeleteI think the C-R-C-D framework is important because their ideas are important, but if you add them to the ideas of other students, they can come up with something much bigger than themselves. The final product can be that much better. It also helps students by making them realize that they don't have to reinvent the wheel. You need to give credit where credit is due, however, you are not alone and you can use the ideas, mistakes and successes of others to help you with your own ideas. Choice menus are vital because it is an easy way to hit the learning styles of multiple students without leaving anyone out. It gets students invested in their learning.
I agree. Addressing the learning styles of students is necessary in both engaging them in learning, as well as assessing what they have learned. Students have different strengths. If they have a choice in how they showcase what they know, the teacher has a clearer understanding of content mastery.
DeleteIt is such a simple way to differentiate instruction and get students engaged!

ReplyDeleteI think that using the framework and choice menus will fulfill part of our promise to purpose vision of a learner. By having access to technology and resources, students have the opportunity to learn at their own pace. They can collaborate with others and make personal connections with the content taught. Students are able to choose which areas to focus in on and have ownership of their learning.
Teaching with technology and personalizing learning with choice is essential to Klein ISD learners because it better engages the students, and it provides a great way for meeting the needs of each individual student. Students have a strong connection with technology, so it is a powerful tool that can immediately grab their attention. Technology also has many advantages including being able to give immediate feedback. By getting immediate feedback teachers are better prepared to identify student strengths and weaknesses which provides a great way of personalizing instruction.
ReplyDeleteI think technology offers so many resources for the students to research and gives them new ways to learn. Technology allows for collaboration and helps personalize lessons. It also helps students stay motivated to learn, as they are drawn to technology. It is an essential part of the KISD motto: Promise to purpose. ---Leticia Pierce Orsoni

ReplyDeleteTeaching with technology and personalizing learning with choice is essential to Klein ISD learners because as babies come out of the womb with technology in hand. Our students' lives are centered around technology. It is very hard for students to go from the fast-paced, animated thinking tech offers to the slow inanimate pen and paper. Incorporating technology in the classroom with traditional learning, offers students variations in acquiring and demonstrating knowledge. It gives them choices that allow them to "show what they know" in ways that are aspiring to them which in turn creates a safe, student centered learning environment.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because students learn very differently and technology offers them that variation. It also gives exposure to those students who don't have the opportunity to have positive life experiences.

ReplyDeleteTeaching with technology is imperative to today's classroom in order to prepare students for the "real" world, which is now a cyber world. While students of today have never known a world without computer technology, applying that knowledge academically or in a workplace setting requires a different skill set. This addresses the "equipped scholar" portion of the profile of a KISD learner.
ReplyDeleteProviding choice boards allows students to showcase their talents, while also growing skills needed to prepare for the future.
I agree that some students transfer into Klein from other districts with very basic technology skills. Teaching students to be tech savvy is something that will benefit them their entire life.
DeleteI think that teaching with technology and personalizing learning is essential because it helps students to own their learning. Technology really assists to personalize learning because students can work from where they are. Websites like quizlet allow students to hear vocabulary words pronounced and students can start with flashcards or move to competitive games. Using a learning menu like the video would be helpful review of a unit and allow students creativity and choice versus just giving a review sheet and a test. It also can better demonstrate mastery of a topic.
