Capter #6 reflection / 7266 edu


In recent years the internet-beads deployment rapidly and now almost everyone can easily access to information so, we have to managing information that can include organize, storing, and curriculum resources. In the chapter talk about bookmarking, social bookmarking, and information alerts , When I read every one of them I found these information is old for me specially bookmarking ,but I don’t know about that social bookmarking allows us to create public list can everyone to see and  to be part of community . Also, I don’t know there is such like Google alert I think is useful to know about what is the new information online

Building my own standard connector to have powerful learning. I think when the teacher build her own standard connector she will help her student to build unforgettable learning experience and help the teacher to located and store web-based academic through curriculum framework.

There are many ways to engage and interaction student learning and one of these way is webquests I think is creative to design webQuests because it guide student to assess and search for academic information . So, the classroom will be active. When I read about virtual field trip and video conference and how can take the students from all over the word without leaving the classroom and how professional can talk with student through internet, I thought why we can development this method and see things we cannot see usually. For example, what happens inside our body or see what happens under the earth by using technology.

I understand that teacher can use education web-based as source of internet-based digital content to teach K-12 learning curriculum and can present excellent website to interactive, exploring their own question by self-direction, engaging student with materials through mysteries, stories, and controversial issue.

When I finished from the reading I realized that we need to know more about education websites and other online resources in higher learning to improve teaching practice and help student to development the understanding of their learning.

 

Chapter # 5 / 7266 edu


The existence of the internet in schools make the learning enjoyable and active because internet a richer information that serve topics learning. Teachers and students can be able to access web-based resource to help them finding information for doing learning task but not all information in the we-based can be trust. So, how can we protect our children to read untrusted information? According to the chapter we should teach our students to assess resource and materials they found it online, in the TV, or reading newspaper and Magazine to analyze and interpret materials. In other words, to be able to do information literacy. Also, before using and present online information to student, teacher see if it trusted and reliable or not.

Now days, almost all school and classroom able to access into the web-based and that can give area to learn new information processing skills to retrieval and assessment information. I think teacher should develop information and media literacy skills start with first level grade to prepare today’s generation for future to assist the economic growth and better education, and to live and work successfully. So, our students need to know the basic competencies of reading, writing, analyzing, and solving problem by knowing new technology-based literacy for learning and working in the modern world.

“Let me try “I agree with this sentence because it allows students to learn from them mistake and learn to learn dependably to affect more on students learning. I think is better than taking lecture in class or doing worksheets assignment .So, integrate technology-based activities help internal learning.

I know now that search engines saves time and effort to retrieval information because it is speed, and able to located topic – related website. So, teacher and students can find specific academic information by typing words and phrase in keywords to locate matching web pages. After that teacher and students can save and organize written materials by taking electronic note.

I read in the chapter that Google’s system is the most popular online searching in the world and is very useful for many things, I agree with that I use it every day. When I became a teacher I will search with my students to inspiring them knowledge and teach them how to search for information , but before doing that as teacher I have first to sort through masses  of material to present what web pages is good for helping students to learn? . If teacher found unappropriated web site for students she might block ,censorship, filter, partitions ,labels or critical reading it because some website content informing that focus on incomplete, misinformation, harmful information, poorly organized , trivial information .Also , we do not now who is the writer that behind the screen . We need strategies to evaluate internet information.

The most interesting part in this chapter for me is recognize the URL because finally now I know what dose these symbol means (com, org, gov, net, edu, and mill).  Plagiarism is popular among students because it is easy and fast to do homework .So , I Think we have to reduce it by giving homework depend on thinking and solving problem .

Chapter#9 / EDU-7266 / Reflection


 

Reflection of creating and shearing information with multimedia technology


The connection between Technology and education this days are very strong. Every teacher prefer to use multimedia technology that help the teacher to do his job more easily and put the spirit of enjoyment in the class and makes the lesson more effective. At the beginning of chapter nine mention example of using camera for design film and photo in a history class, is an interesting way to understand and memorize the lesson. also, I think it is better than lecture the history event or see it in video form YouTube .i remember I have seen a movie long time ago  but I do not remember the name of the movie . in the movie there a teacher who want to explained the first war world .so, he decided to let students act  it  like they are really in the war .as result students will remember the events for long period of time ,but I prefer if the teacher in the movie record it to review the events .

I agree when teacher uses multimedia technology in class because that will promote teaching and learning, it help information contact. When teacher combined between tow tools in the lesson we called that Multimedia and if the teacher use one tool in class that called single- mode, but multimedia is more interactive.

Using PowerPoint in teaching is useful for student who do not concentrate in class because it contents pictures, video, and sound display on large screen. PowerPoint is the most used in the world. to present we have to know what we want from student to learn  and  this goal is  achieved by use visual text generate class discussion-promote visual analysis of discussion topic- display question or comments for short writing assignment-use the slides attention –develop  your own PowerPoint learning .All these things help discussion in class .So, student can control of PowerPoint he can play or pause the slideshow to see each movement of the presentation and they can design them own PowerPoint to encourage the creative of the students .

I believe Using video in class has a significant effect on students learning because it attract students to become participant in classroom not just scenes .moreover,  the videos always available in school, abundance of resources, gain student experience, and allowed to know what happened from changes in the environment around us .i will combine technology in my class to have interactive lessons.

I understand that to have experience, unforgettable learning, and to become creator of visual I should use camera to take photo and make movie regularly and I can make to my student in kindergarten alphabet book to help to read and write.

In the end of the chapter was talked about podcasts and vodcasts as tool for teaching. I was surprised to know that we can use them to listen missing class by putting the podcast in the website and another examples was mention in the chapter. I think podcast better than video when students use them because with podcast students become comfortable with talking.

Chapter #3 reflection / EDU-7266


                                             Reflection of developing lesson with technology

According to chapter overview “ How teachers plan, deliver, and assess lesson that engage students and teacher academic content while integrating into all aspect of lesson development”. I agree with this sentence, integrate technology to develop lesson can increase the technological skills of teachers to know the educational concepts and help the teacher to change the old ways of teaching. So, when the teacher change his method to become convoy of these days by using technology. In other hand, it could be that teachers are able to use technology, but sometimes they have a weak plan in teaching and this is not helpful in terms of students because that will distract students and the objectives of the activity won’t be in clear vision for students. Nowadays, education have changed from a lecture or assess and evaluates students because the improving of lessons and the use of technology.

Teachers should be aware of developing lessons to create design and decision-making involve three elements to teach and technology supports each one of these elements in teaching:

- Academic content (what to teach) the teachers to be taught a lesson in the framework of the curriculum and integrates the internet to learn new way of teaching.

-Teaching goals, method, and procedures (How to teach).

- Learning assessments (Knowing what students have learned).

The goals of the teachers that provide learning for management and effective lessons in three planning lessons: learning objective shows the emphasize outcome of students learning object to assessment the information and skills of the students capable of use in school.

Planning understand design (backward design) the teacher set her goals of the curriculum before choosing instructed methods. .in the chapter there are backward design that include three element for improving the curriculum. .

Using technology in lesson planning I agree with this point strongly because the using internet to plan lesson  helps the teacher to find information from around the world in short time and it provides  more than one way to teach.

I think using technology to make decision about meeting educational students in lesson plan is very useful to keep lesson in the curriculum framework of national, stat, and local curriculum. To be honest, it was little confused to understand the national curriculum standard, maybe it is quite different of Saudi standards.

How can teacher assess and evaluate students? This question contains a lot of information and through the chapter we can answer this question there are three facts that affect the teacher’s thinking when they assess and evaluate.

-              The teachers Evaluate in traditional way.

-              Standardized testing it helps to know the teacher’s ability to education. I have learned through this part of the chapter that the assessment is done in the end of the lesson and teacher assess students’ knowledge in a particular time in particular subject and evaluate the performance of the student in the classroom .moreover, to evaluate students’ knowledge we use multiple forms of evaluate data with national or state or local curriculum test.  In other hand evaluate performance will assess students activates and the assess test be in learning. The performance rubrics assess student work to know what we want from student to do in class or doing them homework.

In my opinion, technology save from lost time and effort for teachers to evaluate the students .Also, it helped the teacher to know the strength and weaknesses of each student to improve their performances.
