Firstly, I will be explaining how visual learning styles helps to aid your learning. Visual learning mostly learn more things when they see a graphical image, meaning that they will be able to get more information from looking at them than just reading something. There are two categories for visual learners these are linguistic
Using technology can increase our access to information, improve teaching efficiency and can make learning more enjoyable. At the ASMS we use technology to enhance our learning during school assignments ad tasks. Maths and Abstract Thinking, a central studies topic, gave me the opportunity to use technology to create a company log during a functions and graphs folio task. Using GeoGebra , mathematical software, and my knowledge around functions and graphs I created a logo for a self-created business ‘Ashley Platt’s Delectable Delights’ (see figure 1). Using technology allowed me to plot inequalities and line equations, skills gathered during the topic, with ease to create an accurate and unique design that met the requirements of the task.
My research will study the impact of coding on the ability of fourth graders to recall multiplication facts. The question I will answer is, How does Scratch code impact multiplication fact automaticity in fourth grade math students? I will determine whether the use of Scratch coding can increase the ability of fourth grade students to recall basic multiplication facts within a specific time period. To do so I will have students complete a timed assessment of 50 basic multiplication facts between 0 and 9. I will also study student comfort levels with learning math, and in particular recalling multiplication facts.
Our students have become accustomed to using anchor charts to recall skills. One area of our room I am very proud of is Ms. Minor’s creation and use of an interactive Focus Wall. She has created a way to bring life and interest to lessons, I Can Statements and vocabulary
Summarizing will first be modeled for students, followed by many opportunities to practice in small groups and individually. Graphic organizers will be used to provide students with supports that can be scaffold as needed.
Stan Lee is a man with an imagination, a creator of the best comics the world has ever seen. Meet the man who created the greatest superheroes ever known to man. Stan Lee was a prominent American figure in the comic book and movie industry for almost 60 years, arguably, the most influential person in the industry. During his time, he created nearly 300 new superheroes that kids still watch these days. During these 60 years, the movie industry grew in billions of dollars at the box office and helped grow the comic book sales increasingly.
Because technology is part of student interest, the U.S. Department of Education believes that student interest and motivation during the learning process has improved because of the integration of technology. Because the students are so fascinated with technology, their interest remains active and test scores rise. With this, teachers can then move forward and incorporate visual support and tech centered activities that can encourage students to gain successful knowledge and
Visualization is coming of age. With visual depictions being seamlessly integrated into documents, and data visualization techniques being used to understand increasingly large and complex datasets, the term "visualization"' is becoming used in everyday conversations. But we are on a cusp; visualization researchers need to develop and adapt to today's new devices and tomorrow's technology. Today, people interact with visual depictions through a mouse. Tomorrow, they'll be touching, swiping, grasping, feeling, hearing, smelling, and even tasting data.
Turkle gives another great example of how technology has caused loss when switching from lectures to PowerPoints. He believes that PowerPoint “encourages presentation, not conversation.” (289) In keeping everything crisp and clean with bullets and pictures there is little room for grey areas, it is either black or white. Students do not take the time to question information that is displayed as clear cut
For example if a teacher has an anchor chart with that steps in takes to solve a long division problem the student can- after solving a problem- go back and take a look at the anchor chart to self- evaluate and see if they completed all the steps to get the correct answer. Anchor charts also promote independence because if a student forgets a rule or a concept that they were previously taught they can easily go and look up on the anchor chart in their classroom and be reminded of the concept or rule instead of having to ask the teacher to go over it
I was able to observe this through the student’s responses to my questions when we completed the graphic organizer together. Additionally, I observed the student’s comprehension of the skill through grading the formal assessment and the extension. 2. Did you achieve success through the use of your assessment? How?
With decades of research, it came to a conclusion that not all students learn the same way. Jeremy Roschelle is co-director of the Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International. In his research, he examines the classroom use of innovations that enhance learning difficult ideas in mathematics and science. Chad Lane has a Ph.D. and M.S. in computer science and wants to create educational technology that will compelling and engaging.
As a PACE participant I have learned lots of ideas from the seminar lessons and tried to incorporate lots of those ideas into my lesson I teach in my classroom. When I first started teaching I had some idea what I was doing, at least I thought I did until I started PACE. With PACE I have learned a lot about best practice, differentiated instruction, and curriculum integration. This paper will explain how I tried to incorporate these instructional elements in my lesson regarding the state standard of creating a document using Microsoft Word. First, I will start off with explaining how I incorporated best practices, curriculum integration, and differentiation of instruction into my lesson of creating a Microsoft Word Document.
Design Technology’s Impact on the Graphic Design Industry Graphic design is a visual communication methodology and problem solving using type, space and image. It is a subset of communication design and visual communication. Graphic designers use typography, page layout and visual art techniques to produce their final results. Technological innovation has affected the graphic design industry in America among other countries. In today’s world, technology has been applied in people’s lives either as socialization or as a working tool.
Stations or centers might be teacher-led if new knowledge is to be given or student-led if mastery is to be obtained on the information given by the teacher. Project-based is another strategy and one of the best ways to differentiate instruction due to the students’ needs and styles are addressed. Projects internalize help and support among students beside some academic skills. Tiered Activities, on the other hand, are based on the learning tasks designed at different levels of complexity according to students’ readiness levels, i.e. to be gradually given to the students ,whenever the student finishes one stage, they transfer to the other one until the task is done, or at times keeping the learning outcomes same the learning tasks can be designed according to students’ learning preferences viz. Learning styles or Gardner’s multiple intelligences.
