3. ELA Technology Standards


During the afternoons, on Monday - Friday, I work with the Boys and Girls Club after school. At the Boys and Girls Club, I work with a group of 12-15 2nd graders. Therefore, I looked up the ELA standards for grade 2. The ELA standards for 2nd grade seem pretty simple to me. 
Although I am not a technology expert, I am able to, and would be prepared to teach, students how to use information gained from the illustrations and words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot. This will be simple to me because throughout most of my years in k-12, I have been required to look at documents to determine the meaning, characters, setting, or plot. Throughout my college experience, I have gained a great deal of experience using information from digital to determine the meaning, characters, setting, or plot. Throughout my college experience, I have also had the opportunity to easily understand how to use various text feature to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently, use a variety of digital tools to produce and publishing writing (including collaboration with peers), and how to describe key ideas from a text orally, or through media. 
A standard that I am not familiar with and would not be prepared to teach would be, LAFS.2.SL.2.5, adding drawings or other visual displays to stories of experiences.  I would not be prepared to teach this standard because I am not familiar with interactive storybooks and never have been required to use one. In order to teach my students this standard, I would have to better familiarize myself with interactive storybooks. Besides this one standard the rest of the ELS technology standards for 2nd grade are easily reachable for me as I have been mastering them throughout my school experience.

ILP "Design" - Class Dogo

The link below gives an inside look into the resource, Class Dogo. Class Dogo is a website and app that allows teachers to share with their students, parents, and school leaders what they have going on in their classroom. Teachers can make posts, message parents, and assign work, all on class dogo. When I first heard about class dogo, through the grapevine, it sounded cool. However, it was not until I actually tried it for myself that I realized how useful, effective, and interactive, the app is, how much it does the same to make the classroom more interactive and communication with the parents more effective. In the link provided below, I show you how you can add your class and connect with your parents through messages and your story. I believe that class dogo is an awesome resource.  I recommend it to all teachers. https://voicethread.com/share/12190585/

ILP "Participation - Teacher Interview"

For this  voice thread , I decided to not go on lnyda.com or MOOC because instead of testing something out for myself, I wanted to see what the professionals were actually doing. For such reason, I decided to interview a 1st grade teacher on her use of technology in the classroom. I interviewed a first grade teacher because I currently work close with that grade level and may be interested in teaching elementary one day. I was surprised by many of my discoveries of the educational technology being used in elementary school, and how it is fairly similar to some of the technology used in college. Take a look! https://voicethread.com/share/12396638/

Diigo so far has been a great tool and resource to use to share links and web resources. Diigo has been also a great tool to use when to look up other resources. With Diigo you can look for references using several different tags, separating them using quotations. Once you have found a resource that has been started that is relevant to you, you can see what others have posted or commented that stood out about the site. All of these points that I have covered is the reason that Diigo would be and effective and efficient for team members, classmates in a group. Diigo allows for users to create groups. In these groups, resources are only shared amongst group members. Powerpoint is a very useful tool and can be used to support learning at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy. To implement the first level, remembering, I would show my 2nd grade math class, a link to a video that would help them remember their multiplication facts. For the second level, understand, I would upload an image of...
