Learning movements through the use of technology

 

Analyze Learners:

1.     17 Students in class

2.     10 Male/ 7 Females

3.     5-6 year olds

4.     1 student-learning disability

5.     Majority of the class is in the normal range of learning and displaying learning capacities.

o      11 Chamorro, 2 Filipino, 1 Yapese, 4 Chuukese

5.     Current knowledge is that most of the class is up to speed with what lessons are being taught. We are going to learn about what are movements and know the difference between movements and no movements through actions physically and in pictures.

o      Visual 50%

o      Kinesthetic (Hands On) 50%

 

State Objectives:

1.    Students will first pay attention to the presentation the teacher will show different pictures about movements and no movements using SlideShare, & the many other different was you can see movement(physically-body movements with streamers, movement on paper using objects and paint).

2.    The students had a brief introduction a week ago about the SlideShare and now the teacher will review the process of the use to SlideShare and how to upload the pictures they have chosen for their presentation in the end.

3.    After the brief presentation by the teacher, the students are placed in groups of 3 and will choose out of a basket what movement is assigned to their group (ex: hip movement, feet movement, etc.).

4.    Then the “kidz Bop” music will be playing from an iPod on an iHome.

5.    The students will have to “Freeze Dance” to the music using their streamers and movements assigned to them as well as following the beat of the music. Each group will have a chance to show their assigned movements inside the circle and each group will have the same opportunity to go in the circle.  It is called ‘Freeze Dance’ because once the music stops all the students have to freeze in the position they are in. 

6.    In a couple of seconds freezing/staying still the teacher will ask the students which part of the freeze dance showed movement and which part of the dance showed no movement.

7.    After the freeze dance the students will go to a corner of the room and each student in the group will have the chance to use the digital camera as well as pose for a picture. Each group is required to have 3 pictures of each student in the group showing movement in the picture and 3 pictures of each student showing no movement.

8.    When all the 6 pictures are completed, as a group they have to decide 3 other pictures that show either movement or not movement by using the pictures in a book, magazine, etc.

9.    Having the 3 pictures from a book, magazine, etc. as a group they will help each other scan the picture along with some assistance from the teacher then upload their 6 photos taken by the digital camera and create a slideshow of their pictures using slideshare and again with teacher’s assistance.

10. Finally, when all the groups are done they will have a chance to present their pictures to the class and explain why those pictures they chose show movement and why it doesn’t snow movement.  They will use a projector so the whole class can see and follow along with the pictures.

11. For the student with learning disability, she will be partnered up with a high functioning student and work together to accomplish and complete their group assignments.

Media, Methods, & Materials:

We will be using

·       Computer [slideshare]  

·       iPod

·       iHome

·       Digital camera

·       Scanner

·       Magazines

·       Books

·       Streamers

 

Utilize Media, Methods, & Materials:

·       Computer: to show an example of the lesson through the use of slideshare and knowing the pictures of people, things, etc. that show movement and what doesn’t show movement.

·       iPod: to play a “KIDZ BOP-REMIX” music while the students dances around in a circle along with each groups assigned movements.

·       Digital Camera: to take pictures of each student in their group showing any kind of movement and capturing an image of it.

·       Scanner: students will choose additional 3 other pictures from a magazine, book, etc. and scan it to identify the movements they chose.

·       Streamers: to use when dancing to the music and learning movements through their body movements.

Require Learner Participation:

1.     Explain to the students what assignment they will be doing and what multimedia tools both the teacher and the students will be using.

2.     I will then show the students a slideshare of pictures that show movement and no movement as well as the lines that can be drawn to show the picture moving. (straight lines under the picture, wiggly lines, zigzag, etc.).

3.     I will have extra blown up pictures on a butcher paper and have the students come up to the board and draw the lines to show the pictures provided moving, or showing some type of movement.

4.     Finally, the students will draw their streamers they will have from the freeze dance activity and split the paper into half.  Having the paper divided the students will have to draw on the top portion the streamer showing movement and then the bottom portion will have the drawing of the streamer showing no movement. 

5.     Teacher can ask the students to pick up their streamers before beginning and have them see it moving and staying still.

Evaluate and Revise:

 

1.    As students are working on their activity teacher goes around and makes sure students are on task and working together as a team.

2.    Finally, we will all review the assignment and what we all learned as well as have an open discussion about the assignment and any comments about what they learned about the activities and using multimedia tools to help them complete their assignments.

3.    In addition,  the teacher will also ask the students what were the good and bad things about using multimedia tools to do their assignments.  From their feedback the teacher can make some changes on the lesson plan for the next time an activity will involve the use of technology.

It is located on the upper right side of your computer screen after downloading and all you have to do is point the arrow to the icon and click on one of the 3 rays provided because it looks like a sun, and it is almost like cropping a picture. Jing is the same concept except the original picture will still be available and on the other hand using jing will save the desired image you cropped anywhere on your computer. If you don’t want to save the image you can just simple click the copy button and go to your website, or wherever you want to paste the image and either click (command V-for mac users) or edit-paste. The image will automatically appear! I use jing all the time and I am glad I was introduced to it. Jing has helped me a lot for presentations as well as my online class when wanting to post a graph, etc.

Prezi has taken a step further in technology and provides users to create their presentation on the web and from scratch. All you have to do first after signing up is choosing a background then getting started. Your able to put any topic anywhere within your prezi presentation and in the end all you have to do is create a path to which word(s) you want to show up first or even picture and it doesn’t matter if your layout is not organized, the path you set it to will show up the in the order it was set to. Prezi can be live on the web presentation oryou also have the option of downloading your presentation to your computer and that can be used for backup incase the internet goes out. Overall, I love using prezi and I feel this is the next step to great, eye catching presentations. 

Incorporating The Use Of Technology In My Lesson Plan

 

The use of technology has taken lesson planning to a whole new level of learning.  Incorporating multimedia tools into my lesson plan has not only helped myself in broadening my mind when creating a lesson plan but also for the students to get use to the use of technology now and let them be aware of the different ways of learning and doing activities not only using paper, paint, etc. but technology itself which is being used often around world.  Why not start at a young age?

            There are always going to be some difficulty when creating a lesson plan using multimedia especially if the student has never used one before.  This will be a challenge but in the end as a teacher I will always keep in the back of my mind that this student will become technologically savvy one day and I can count myself as one of the people who helped him open his mind to new things when learning and that there are many ways that technology can help one in the future when creating presentations, etc. 

            I have learned a lot working on this lesson plan.  This will be the first to actually incorporate 4 multimedias in a single lesson plan.  We all know that schools can’t always provide multimedia tools but as a teacher I feel that sometimes we have to go out of our way to help the students have more opportunity to use multimedia tools in the classroom and what better age to teach students about technology and the use of technology then at the elementary level.  In this way they are better prepared for any multimedias they will encounter in high school, workforce, etc.

            Technology is used often in a resource room and having a student with a disability in a regular classroom seeing all the multimedia being used will gain more motivation for the students.  Maybe the student had some experience with technology in the resource room and can share with the students about how useful it was and have the rest of the class motivated to trying out more multimedia, exploring, learning and having fun at the same time.

            It is a step by step process when using multimedia but the more the students practice the more lesson plans the teacher can make incorporating multimedia tools and having the opportunity to do more  with the students when learning new things. 

Becoming more aware about assistive technology

There are a lot of things you can learn about assistive and adaptive technology and the many ways it can help individuals with disabilities broaden their opportunities in life, to be more creative in the many things they can do, communicate with others as well as become more independent in the number of things one can accomplish.

It is always important to know your students as a teacher and learn more about the areas they are weak in and where there strengths are. Students with disabilities are one in particular teachers must know and understand the type of difficulties they encounter when trying to learn things. It is crucial to know exactly what areas does the child need help in to make their learning easier on them and successful. There are a number of assistive technologies that can help a student learn at their own pace and easier to understand. As a future special education teacher, I will always put my students needs first when it comes to learning. Nothing is more important then teaching the students a number of fundamental knowledge that will help them later in life and what better way to help them learn then the use of assistive technology. In my lesson plan for each day I will always keep in mind what my student's strengths and weaknesses are and if I go fourth with my lesson plan will all my students get something out of it. Being able to help make it possible for the students with disabilities have the opportunity to learn new things everyday, being able to communicate with their peers, and built more confidence when thinking about their future and what they want to become is something a teacher will be most proud of. Because helping a child with a disabilities learn and do things they once thought they couldn't do has finally been accomplished by the teacher is simply priceless!

This video broaden my mind more into searching for the many assistive technologies that are made all over the world to help the students with disabilities move forward in life and become someone important and successful. Still today, many assistive technologies are being thought of and created to accommodate the students with disabilities. When my time comes to finally become a special education teacher I will be one to go out of my way to make sure each of my students have the opportunity to experience learning and interacting just like a regular student without a disability can do.

Overall, this video helped me to understand and know more about the many devices out there and that everyday I can learn something new about assistive technologies and how effective and beneficial they are.

Stepping Out Of My Comfort Zone

ED451-Audio Visual

Learning is a never ending process and lesson planning is one of the keys to becoming a well organized, successful teacher. We constantly learn new things everyday and I learned a great deal on creating a good lesson plan that is detailed and if other teachers would look at the lesson plan they would easily know what its about and know exactly what to do by following the objectives.

My experience working on my first lesson plan I decided to use the Model Digital-Age Work and Learning from the NETS*T Standards. I chose this particular standard because it best describes what I want my lesson plan to reflect on and my objectives for the students learning. The standard simply states that the teacher will “ (a) demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations, (b) collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation, (c) communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats, (d) model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning” (nets for teachers 2008).

We all learn new things every day and every time I create a lesson plan I always learn something new. Stating learning objectives are very important when creating a lesson plan and I learned to always make sure it reflects on the assignment and is detailed enough to understand. In addition, when creating a lesson plan I learned to always make sure that the lesson is at the students level of understanding as well as keeping the lesson fun and interesting. Also, to make sure that before beginning a lesson the students are introduced to the new tools that are going to be used in the lesson activity such as using Excel to create a graph and learning all the steps (Microsoft).

There are always the good and bad things in creating a lesson plan depending on the topic or activity. In the lesson plan I created I enjoyed refreshing my memory when gathering data and creating a graph. I took myself out of my comfort zone and added creating a graph on my lesson plan. On the other hand, I am not really good in math so gathering data and creating a graph or chart is not really something I find fun or exciting. Overall, I learned to step out of the box once in awhile and do things I don't normally do for the purpose of the students learning and broadening their minds in using technology and the many other different ways in gathering data as well as the variety of graphs that can be explored and used.
