Blog post #L

It is stated on page 299 of our textbook that in schools there are two technology uses , inclusion and infusion. I honestly prefer inclusion being that students need to learn how to do certain things without technology. I also like they learn to use technology but not get rid of common sense on the way.

Teachers use technology on a lot of their lessons. They can use it at an entry stage in which the teacher pretty much does the whole lesson using solely technology. There is also adoption stage in which she uses some technology such as, video clips,  but continues the lesson without technology. Adaptation stage is when a teacher use "new technologies into traditional classroom practices". Appropriation stage is when a teacher uses technology inside and outside the classroom. Invention stage is great in my opinion because it was when the teacher finds new ways to use technology in the classroom. I would always try to find new ways to intrigue my students.

  1. Assessments - As a new teacher I will be constantly evaluated on how I work with my students. I will also be evaluating my students as they will evaluate themselves. This can be done many different ways. Which brings back testing.
  2. Digital Portfolios - Will be a necessity which I will have to begin building. It will include my resume, my philosophy on educations, references, experiences, and lesson plans
  3. This chapter was actually the first time I had ever heard of a democratic school and classroom. Which is a classroom and school in which the teachers and students come together as one to make important decisions.

Chapter 4 explains how to do many things.
I have learned what is involved in making a lesson plan effective. A lesson plan typically follows one of two different approaches. I have to tell who is going to do what and when will it or did happen how much or how often and how will it be measured or evaluated.
I have also learned how to assess and evaluate students. Three of those factors that play a big role in how teachers teach is,

  1. personal experience
  2. standardized testing
  3. teacher test

Finally I learned how to meet educational standards. Like NET or NCSS
