MY TEACHINGS EMULATE THIS PRINCIPLE THROUGH THE FOLLOWING PRACTICES:
MY TEACHINGS EMULATE THIS PRINCIPLE THROUGH THE FOLLOWING PRACTICES:
Here are some of the ways I will make changes to my course to be more dynamic.
- Use digital tools and media effectively and incorporate a variety of platforms.
- Celebrate students for their accomplishments.
- Record videos and include captions with videos to make it more accessible to all learners.
- Make learning meaningful, relevant, and motivating to engage learners.
- Create a learning space that has meaning and purpose for all students.
- Use course analytics and assessment data to guide learning opportunities.
- Allow students to share their thoughts, videos, and written works with others.
- Construct learning experience around collaboration as a means to deeper understanding.
- I will continue to reflect upon my course design and refine my course content each semester.
This Introduction to Education video provides essential course information to students. I want my students to feel like I created the video's content specifically for them. I believe that this will make them feel valued, and that it will strengthen my relationship from the beginning with them.
With universal design in mind, I want to make sure that my introductory video is accessible to all learners. By adding interactive elements to my course, I can better understand exactly where my students are and what additional supports they might need. When quality videos are intergrated into a course, student commitment and engagment increases. By including audio, video and close captioning, I feel that I have addressed all of my learners needs.
Discussion boards are a staple in any online program. That is the reason I usually begin my first week with an introductory discussion board so I can get to know my students and they get to know me as their instructor. To support student engagement, I try to tap into my student's prior knowledge or ask about something that they already know. I feel that each student is unique and is motivated by various factors, and that by personalizing the assignment, I will increase my opportunities to engage with them.
In future discussion boards, I provide opportunities to have them work in small groups so they can collaborate and research educational topics. This gives them an opportunity to talk with each other and play an active role in their learning. This is a great time to give feedback to students and let them know their learning is important to you.
Peer Review is a valuable and effective tool to help students collaborate and review each others work. Having my students be a part of this process allows them to take a glimpse of others viewpoints as well as to see where their own work may require attention. I also find when students are meaningfully engaged with their peers, it is even more beneficial to their learning as they make comparisons to their own work. I believe by having students provide feedback to their peers, they feel a more valuable part of the process.
Lesson Plan
Lesson Plan
In my course we have been covering the six Standards for the teaching profession for a few weeks. Standard 4 is one of the most difficult standards to understand and apply in practice. Prior to this assignment, students will have had to have created a math lesson plan for a specific grade level to use.
Learning Objective: After completing your lesson plan, students will write a one-minute paper about their lesson planning experience. Students will respond to two questions on Padlet.
Directions: Once your lesson plan is complete, write a brief one-minute written response on Padlet about your lesson planning assignment.
Today, I am going to ask you to complete a one-minute paper called “The Minute Paper.”
Here are the instructions for you to complete that assignment.
1. Sign into Padlet. (I will provide link information here.)
2. Once you are signed into Padlet, use Padlet to write a brief one-minute written response about “What was the most important thing you learned about lesson planning and creating your lesson, and “What questions remain unanswered for you?”
3. Use the plus icon at the bottom of the page or double-click in the box to leave your response.
Due Date: The day the lesson plan is due is when I will ask my students to complete this formative assessment.
Grading Criteria: Complete or Incomplete
*This unit is ongoing as we write and improve several lesson plans.
