Tools I will use in my presentation:
1. writing with a pen
2. erasing
3. video
NETS for students:
1. Creative Innovation
d. Identify trends and forecast possibilities.
why: My presentation meets this standard because students are introduced to the various seasons gradually. Throughout the lesson they are able to see patterns in different seasons and then to participate in questions that cause them to evaluate what they already know about the seasons. They also, in the end are able to see the "trend" of the class in that they can see how many students like a certain season. This lesson will also help students to identify seasons through experiences in everyday life such as nature, activity and weather.
3. Research and Information Fluency a. process data and report results. Why: This is true especially because of the class poll that is taken at the end of the lesson. Students are able to understand how to represent data in a graph and also how to organize information. |
NETS for Teachers:
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
b. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
d. provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.
why: This is true because, as a teacher, I am using various forms of technology such as the SMARTboard and video to display an ordinary lesson. This allows students to experience the seasons through technology which in more innovative then merely a book or a weather chart. Also, the questions that the class must participate in help them to assess what they are learning throughout the lesson. This also causes student to have to participate actively in the lesson. Finally they students must evaluate what they have learned in order to form an opinion about which season is their favorite through a poll at the end of the lesson.
How an interactive whiteboard can improve student learning:
No that students are mostly digital natives, it is important to teach in a way that is easy for them to relate to. Interactive whiteboards are easy for students to learn and also connects easily with many of the activities that they already do in their spare time. Students also can easily participate in lessons in a very visual way as they come up to the board and drag objects or play games. This is helpful because students are able to learn both the subject and become technologically savvy. Also interactive whiteboards make thing that would have otherwise been impossible or very difficult possible. This is the case with difficult science experiments that would've otherwise required lots of prep time or space. Also it is very beneficially for the development of global awareness as well. It is much easier to "visit" and experience another country through technology then merely through books because technology is something that we all have in common. I am really looking forward to using the smart board for the study of other cultures and also for science lessons. I think a particularly good way to incorporate the smart board for station work. That way one station can always been on the smart board but the teacher is only dealing with a small group rather then the whole class. Therefore it becomes more manageable for the teacher and the students are able to interact with the whiteboard more. Some examples of what this would look like include having students take polls about likes and dislikes related to subjects. Also I really like the idea of having interactive questions for them to answer and games. I believe this is especially helpful in math and science.
