My proposed elective plan is as follows:
EDUC 914 Differentiate with Technology alongside the Google & YouTube class (11/27/16)
TEC 977 Cloud Computing in the Classroom alongside Leading Edge Certification (2/26/17)
TEC 982 The Flipped Classroom alongside Mobile Learning (4/23/17)
I believe these are the best selections to align with my professional development goals. I'm planning to take Differentiate with Technology first because I should have time to work on differentiated mini-units over the winter break. that I will be able to use with my students in January. I have been making good strides in differentiating my reading instruction, and I want to use this class to focus on Math.
Cloud Computing interests me because the devices that students have available to them are Chromebooks. I am always looking for cloud-based tools where my students can create, store, and share.
I decided to finish the sequence with the flipped classroom because by this spring I should have more information about new curriculum adoptions for my district. Next summer would probably be a more reasonable time for me to think about creating videos and lessons to flip instruction in my classroom effectively and align them with the new curriculum.
