Final Project Narrative: Family Communication

-
            When I started my journey to becoming an educator I was excited to have my own classroom and students of my own. While college prepares future teachers how to write lesson plans and integrate a lesson with multiple contents, it does not quite prepare you for the skill of parent communication. As someone who is not a fan of confrontation, I was always afraid to reach out to parents with concerns about their child with fear of families responding in defense and anger. Even though I knew all of the positives that went along with family communication, there was something holding me back. In fact, my belief is that students learn best when there is a strong relationship and communication with families so what was I waiting for?  For those of us that read and analyzed Sherry Turkle and Dr. Michael Wesch , both emphasize the need for conversation . In an e-mail or text message I can edit and perfect my message and be presented in the profes...

Prensky vs. Boyd

-
    After reviewing the thoughts of Marc Prensky and Danah Boyd in isolation, I am able to make sense of how each idea came together. As Prensky notes, the younger generation is growing up with technology and may be more likely to become more familiar with its uses simply because of the exposure at a young age. However, Danah Boyd makes a good point in her book, "It's Complicated" (2014). Boyd says that assumptions cannot be made about this younger generation's use of technology simply because they are growing up with it (p. 177). There are far too many factors to consider that influence one's ability to use technology. I agree with Boyd when she brings up the issue of access . Every child in America does not have the same uncensored, access to the Internet. Boyd brings up the strong correlations between a child's access to technology and their socioeconomic status (p. 195). Students are being raised in lower-income areas will not have the same technological e...

My Distance Learning Savior: EdPuzzle

-

    This past spring educators all over the world found themselves in a situation no one would have ever predicted. Teachers had little to no time to prepare the rest of the school year online and sharing resources was crucial. Student engagement was a major concern for everyone and  I was finding that when I would assign instructional videos, some students were not watching them and just going straight to the posted assignment.        Enter EdPuzzle .        I had used EdPuzzle so many times before as station activities, but I was finding another purpose during distance learning. EdPuzzle allows teachers to see which students are watching/completing the instructional videos, as well as check for understanding. When students see a teacher assigned an instructional video on EdPuzzle, they know their watch history is monitored and are more likely to watch the video, which is so important when it comes to understanding new co...
