| This class have been very informative for me. I have learned about so many different types of technology as well as how to use it. In addition, my confidence has increased in regards to my ability to use the tech. I find that I am actually draw to use some of it instead of naturally going towards more conventional methods. I look forward to continuing my journey through the mass tech that is out there and finding things that are aweinspiring and motivational. In regards to the NETS for this semester: I feal as they I have made consideral progress. 1. I have learned how to further facilitate and inspire learning and creativity through technology that is available and how to find creative outlets that can expand lesson plans. 2. I have learned how to design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments. In combination with this class and Instructional Design, I have learned so much about lesson planning and implementation. 3. I have confidently modeled digital-age work and learning through my lesson plans and various presentation. 4. I have promoted and modeled digital citizenship and responsibility through my blog as well as my wiki. 5. I have engaged in professional growth and leadership by being an active member of the class. |

Reflection #11: The Problem with Classroom Technology? Faculty Can't Use It
http://campustechnology.com/articles/2011/07/28/the-problem-with-classroom-technology-faculty-cant-use-it.aspx
How can our professors use the tech when the training that they have received is so generic. The people that are runnng the professional development semarins need to provide specific examples and applications for the technology. It is great to know how to work the technology - but a whole nother ball game when you know how to implement it!

Reflection #10: In Classroom of Future, Stagnant Scores
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/04/technology/technology-in-schools-faces-questions-on-value.html?pagewanted=all
even witih the use of technology - scores can still become stagnant and even lesson. It is important to keep in mind the basics as well. Technology is great, but is can also leave people behind, and allows for a greater probability of forgeting to building up from the base. In order to succeed you need a solid foundation. It you dont have that then no matter what technology you have you still will not succeed.

Reflection #9: The History of Technology in Education
http://edudemic.com/2011/04/classroom-technology/
This is a really fascinating article on the history of tech in education dating all the way back to 1650 and the Horn Book.
Everyone should read this as it will give an insight into where we have been and the leaps and bounds that education has journeyed through in order to get where we are at today.
This would also be a really interesting thing to show children as they try to grasp "the olden days."

Reflection 8: Keeping up with the Jones'
In the early part of the 21st century there was a ton a research saying that PDA's was the trend of the future with technology. This just proves how fast technology changes. What are schools to do in regards to keeping up with technology while keeping up with shrinking budgets?
For those schools who adapted PDA's into their programs, they essentially wasted their money as the hardware quickly got passed up with newer gadets and technology.
I am not sure really how to answer my own question, as I can barely keep up with my kids likes and dislikes as they change so fast.
Currenlty my daughter has a DSi, a Nook Color, an iPod, and a Laptop. All of these were purchased within the last 18 months - costing a lot of money - and all are out of date. If I am fighting to keep up with just one kids tech, how can a school district keep up with financially supporting thousands of kids as the technology changes in a blink of an eye.

Future of Education and Technology
The following article states that "One thing is clear: the time has come for educators comfortable living with the Flintstones to accept the inevitable and "meet George Jetson!"
http://www.wiu.edu/thecenter/articles/thefuture.html
This is very true. Our children and students are going to pass us up. They have a natural connection to technology that we do not. They have access to so much more information and tools, that we couldn't even have fathemed in our school days.
The time is here, we need to not only realize it, accept it, but imbrace it!

NU Educators Panel
Questions I would ask:
1. What is your plan for integrating technology into the classes as the younger generations come into the school in order to captivate their learningn styles and the formats that they are familiar with?
2. What are your goals for expanding the education program here at NU?
3. How can we as students have an active voice in the processes within the Ed Program here at NU?

Educational Blog
I found a really cool blog for special education teachers and using assistive technology.
http://nolimitstolearning.blogspot.com/2011/08/back-to-school-at-integration-projects.html
I commented on the idea of using the Wii and/or Kinect in the classroom, escpecially as an OT tool.
This is a really cool way of bringing something that the students are fascinated about into the educational realm. I know that my daughter would sure like going to OT more if she could play "video games" there.

Bloom's Digital Taxonomy
Going through the revised Bloom's Taxomony that includes technology is very interesting. I am glad that they did this as it is a step forward in progress. As "the older generation" we need to keep up with the youngers in order to remain viable in their world.
Teachers need to be able to relate with their students, in order to do this they themselves need to be able to not only speak the language, but teach within the language as well.

"Caught on Video"
I love this concept of video taping students as they go through the year.
As I was reading it all I could really think of was the video's that my six year old is currently addicted to making of his Lego creations and the story lines that go along with it. I will cherish these forever and look forward to watching as they progress.
As a teacher this would be a fabulous tool in communicating with parents and keeping them abreast of their students progress and abilities. In addition, this provides for a visual tool with non-English speaking parents in order to keep them up to date on how their child is performing.

Reflection 7: Pic Lits - Check this out
It is really an amizingly moving way to teach about the various forms of english language
What? Pic Lits used to help teach the different parts of language, vocabulary, etc.
So What? This could be an amazing and new way of integrating technology into the standard English lessons
Now What? I look forward to using this as it provides for a visual representation of words. I am a visual learner and this would have totally helped me to learn the various parts of speech.

Reflection #6 The Wires Growing Out of Our Children's Ears!!!
Does it seem to you like kids these days were born with wires coming out of their ears?
That is because they are so connected to the iPods that they seem to not be able to function in life without them.
So as teachers, why don’t we take advantage of that fact. “The iPod Nano and iPod classic are more than just music and video players. iPods have functionality that can be used in many different ways for teaching and learning.”
They have an amazing variety of uses of which include: Lesson Plans, Audio, Video, Podcasting, Notes, Reference, Quizzes, As External Hard Drives
The following website has a vast collection of ideas and links to additional resources for how we can use these wires in the ears of our children to benefit them as well as our overall classroom experience. I have followed the website link with comments from the blog in that I thought might spur your imagination and curiosity.
-
- We use them for many activities, but the main emphasis has been on writing. I have taught students how to record and playback on the iPods. They have recorded their story or writing ideas onto the iPods and then listened back to them when writing. These little devises have been very motivating for reluctant writers!
- - I’m having teachers around the building record stories to place on it (Art teacher reading a book with art theme, Music teacher reading on related to music, etc.) We will create a listening center with a 5-way splinter so that a group can listen at one time. We chose books that we have multiple copies of. I am going to play around with creating epub books so that student original books can be placed there as well.
- - I have been using Tar Heel Readers this year. I downloaded stories in PowerPoint and then saved as JPEG’s and then they can be viewed on the iPod Touch. I’ve also done word lists in PP and then uploaded it to Animoto. I have the Animoto app on the iPod so those can be viewed as well…I need to get over to the IEAR Ning to check out recommendations there…
- - One of my favorites is the Sesame Street podcasts. There is a large variety of videos on different subject such as hibernation and metamorphosis. The kids love them too!
- - We are doing research with Pearl Driver and Word Magic and are seeing good results
- - NCTM has Everyday Math apps available
- - http://www.apple.com/itunes/education/ = App Store Volume Purchasing Program
- - http://learninginhand.com = Tony Vincent’s Learning in Hand explanation of the program
- - …course on Google docs and created a Google site: https://sites.google.com/a/teacher.plymouth.k12.ma.us/elementary-ipads/
I want to further explore this – especially as not only a teacher, but a mom as well.
I wonder if there are classes that you can take that will teach you of all the educational benefits to iPods.
Hay – this is sure a wonderful argument for a kid to use on their parents for getting an iPod.

Reflection #5 Clickers are more useful than I thought
I found this very informative study in regards to using “clickers” in the classroom. The part that engaged me the most was the classifying of the teachers in regards to their usage of the technology in the classroom. In our class, we were introduced to them, but I was unaware of the detail in which they can be used for.
So I went a little deeper in my research and found this resource from Vanderbilt:
This article not only give the gist of how to use the “clickers” in the classroom, but ways in which it can be used. In addition, it provides multiple examples, videos of them in action, as well as suggestions and links to further resources and information.
I truly am intrigued by the extent of which these can be used in the class and hope that I have access to them when I am teaching.
Reflection #4 Keeping Up with Generation Technology
Here is an amazingly well written article about the struggles and benefits of teachers adjusting and accepting technology as a primary mode in which children learn. In addition, it contains a list of wonderful resources for us to further look at and see how we can incorporate them into our daily lives as teachers.
Teaching is not just what we will be doing for the kids. All forms of educators need to realize that we not only need to keep abreast in the different models for educating children, but for educating ourselves and our peers as well. We are a community that cannot become stagnant and still remain viable. As this water that does not change, ebb and flow with the tides, we begin to lack oxygen necessary for life and growth.
It is imperative that we all continue to keep up with the generations below us, as they will be much more technology savvy than us. I believe that our main resource should always be the kids in which we come in contact to. Let them educate you. Ask them what types of technology they use and have them show you how to use it. Then run with it. You know that they already have an interest in it, so take that and make it an advantage for you.

Reflection #3 Current Use of Technology in Classroom
My son attends Lakeview Elementary just down the road. It is part of the Lake Washington School District which prides itself on the use of technology in the classroom.
Over the last two years I have volunteered numerous hours in the classroom and never seen one of his teachers using the technology that they have at their fingertips, except for the microphone.
Even as the art docent I have used the Interactive Board and the Document Camera. It is my question, who are they not using these tools? I asked my son if his teachers used them, pointed directly to them and described what they did, he hesitated for a while and then said sometimes. This says to me, that they don't use it very much if at all - otherwise he would have known what I was talking about.
According to their website (http://www.lwsd.org/Parents/Teaching-Curriculum/Pages/Classroom-Technology.aspx) all of the teachers have access to multiple modes of technology within each individual classroom.
With the well documented benefits of technology in the classroom (http://thejournal.com/articles/2010/06/28/teachers-report-educational-benefits-of-frequent-technology-use.aspx) how can we get the "older" teachers to get on board and feel comfortable with it?

Reading Games
Hangman: http://www.hangman.no/
This can be used in order to teach reading. It helps kids to formulate words through site and recognition.
Children use several diferrent pre-reading skills when they play hangman. Including their initial phonitic awareness that they learned, being able to tie words in with culture and so forth.
Also, Hangman is just plain old fun!!!

Generation IM
I found this article inlightening and informative. I took notes of the various sites and am planning on going thru them with my kids. In addition, brain thinking of the endless ways of incorporating technology into the classroom. First and foremost, I might need the kids to teach me!!
For a science lesson, the kids can monitor space activity on the NASA website and have to blog about it or they may use the Google SketchIt program to make preliminary drawing of their projects prior to doing the actual hands on work.

Impact on learning in the classroom:
- average improvement of 17%, and when used 75-80% of time increase was 29%
- improvement in math and science
- girls benefit more than boys, but both had positive attainment
What I learned:
- for special ed students there was an increase in student management, fine motor skill development, classroom participation, focused time on task, on time assignment completion, student collaboration, behavior, and attendence
- ELL students also had significant increase in reading and math
Question:
- What about the children who need additional services for mobility, etc that can have a hard time reaching the board? Are there interactive tablets available?

Reflection #1: Creative Teaching Strategies in the Special Needs Classrooms | Diigo
What: Check out this resource for some simple games: Creative Teaching Strategies in the Special Needs Classrooms Diigo
So What: The Special School District of Saint Louis County has taken the iPod and made changed it from a distraction in the classroom to a major resource. Parents were sent home training information explaining how iPods can be used for building vocabulary skills and reading comprehension. In addition, teachers added video and audio lessons onto the students iPods for the students and parents were able to access at home. The teachers also interpreted stories using the iPod as a video portfolio. They were able to shoot video of themselves and the students performing a specific skill and then send it home to the parents. The iPods also serve as a replacement for written communication logs between staff and parents. By recording a simple voice memo, teachers can quickly record messages about each student. These messages can then be downloaded from iPod and saved for future references.
Now What: Ok, I am so out of touch with this. I must figure this out!! I don't even know how to use my daughter's iPod for music, let alone all this other stuff!! I feel old!!

| Describe relevant aspects of your School & Community that influence and/or impact teaching & learning. (Examples: curriculum, reform models, school focus, community partnerships, community support level) | The classroom that I have is a Special Education Contained Learning Center (CLC). There are 26 students, split equally between males and females. Northshore School District has maintained high standards for technology with the availability of a wide array of technological tools for both the students and the teachers. All classrooms at Moorlands have ActivBoards, both document and digital cameras, as well as a few computers available in each classroom for student use. My particular class has three in which the students can access at various points of the day. In addition to the classroom computers, the children have access to the computer lap at the school. In order to maintain a relationship with the parents, I require that all parents volunteer in some aspect. Some may help after school doing anything from grading assignments to organizing classroom activities. I have three parents that volunteer on a weekly basis in the classroom. One for Reading Groups, another for Science and one that comes on a varied schedule. In addition, I encourage all family members, including grandparents, to assist in the classroom throughout the year. I find that this helps to make the education of the children a community effort. Special services offered for my students are Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, as well as General Education Inclusion. Moorlands student demographics are fairly typical for Seattle’s Eastside region. As of 2010/2011 the school had 579 students with 53.9% of those being male and 72.0% Caucasian, 11.2% Asian, 11.7 Pacific Islander, with the rest of the students primarily Hispanic and African American. As Northshore School District filters the special needs children from other home schools to Moorlands, they have a special education rate of 11.4% for a total of 66 students, with an additional 22 students with 504 accomodations. Northshore School District in general does not hire teachers on an either emergency and/or conditional certificate. Therefore, Moorlands does not have any teachers with these restrictions. All of the classes are taught by teachers meeting NCLB highly qualified (HQ) definition. The majority (63.6%) of Moorlands 33 teachers have Master’s Degree with an average experience of 14.9 years. With the high level of experience, the environment provides for a wealth of knowledge with a variety of opinions and styles in which one can prosper from being around. With high standards for technology the district has maintained availability of a wide array of technological tools for both the students and the teachers. All classrooms at Moorlands have ActivBoards, both document and digital cameras, as well as a few computers available in each classroom for student use. My particular class has three in which the students can access at various points of the day. In addition to the classroom computers, the children have access to the computer lap at the school. Moorlands is located on Finn Hill which merges Kirkland, Bothell and Kenmore. This school is located on the border between Northshore and Lake Washington School Districts. There area is made up of a high population of middle to uppoer class families living in single family residences. In addition, there is a strong presence of Boeing and Microsoft executives within the area. As expected by the parents, the school district has and continues to pass various levies and bonds to fund the advancement of technological education for the students and teachers. | |

My First Blog............
So here I am in my first Technology in Education class at Northwest University.
I am very excited to learn more about technology and how I can apply it in the classroom.
As my gray hairs show my age, I am lagging behind in the cyber world.
I do know how to use a computer, but problem solving seems to be over my head.
The future holds such an amazing realm of possibilities for various modes of education and learning.
It is my desire to be abreast in this area so that I am staying with the times - even if my hair is turning gray.
