Collaboration as a Constant
Below you will find many examples of collaboration I have taken part in during my coursework at UNK as well as during the summers as a curriculum writer, and in my classroom.
Throughout my classes for graduate school, I have participated in numerous collaborative projects and projects that required interviewing my district's staff. I have found at the coursework level, this has given me an opportunity to learn from my classmates to share practices in instructional technology and gain understanding and at the district level, this has giving me insight into the technology decisions and lessons learned.
As an EL teacher, it is imperative that the classroom is a welcoming space for students to learn. Part of that includes providing students opportunities to engage and even steer their own learning. Within my course, "Academic Language Study," which is a highly scripted course practicing strategies to improve students academic language, the students proposed an experiment for their class. This provided an in-depth learning experience that also helped them internalize the subject.
Finally, as a curriculum writer, my work has provided me with growth in how to provide useful resources to other staff and push myself in utilizing new technology and apps to grow students in their problem solving and language skills.
Collaborator
Educators dedicate time to collaborate with both colleagues and students to improve practice, discover and share resources and ideas, and solve problems. Educators:
4a
Dedicate planning time to collaborate with colleagues to create authentic learning experiences that leverage technology.
4b
Collaborate and co-learn with students to discover and use new digital resources and diagnose and troubleshoot technology issues.
4c
Use collaborative tools to expand students' authentic, real-world learning experiences by engaging virtually with experts, teams and students, locally and globally.
4d
Demonstrate cultural competency when communicating with students, parents and colleagues and interact with them as co-collaborators in student learning.
Artifact 1: Integrating of Curriculum Technology & Media TE876 - Group Projects (Summer 2021)
The following presentations highlight my and my group's understanding of past and present strategies in teaching technology and understanding of the ISTE standard. In the "Empowered Professional and SAMR Model" presentation, I created a video highlighting some of the apps I had incorporated into my classroom at that time.
Artifact 2: TE878 Leadership in Instructional Technology - District Technology Interview and Reflection (Summer 2020)
This artifact was completed my first year of my graduate program and it was another insight into my personal interest of a Flipped Classroom model. In EL there has been historically a lot of guided "hands-on" teaching that I thought could be done through the use of media available online for review. I sought this former teacher because of his successful implementation of the model in the past.
Artifact 3: TE878 Leadership in Instructional Technology - "Remote Learning" Implementation Interview (Summer 2020)
My goal with the following paper was to examine the districts actions around the remote learning that happened during the last half of the 2019-2020 school year and for most of the 2020-2021 school year. This gave me perspective on the needed growth of use of technology in the district and helped me to understand the direction OPS was committing to in the future.
Artifact 4: Academic Language Study Sleep Trial (Fall 2021)
This is a presentation that was created to show students the results of their study. In the first Unit of the course students are asked to read, annotate, analyze, and discuss three articles about sleep deprivation in teens. After the second article, one of the students suggested after learning how most adolescents suffer from sleep deprivation that we have a "sleep" day to help everyone. I liked the idea and told them how we can create a simple study. The students helped to create the original question and the questions in the pre-survey and post-survey. Afterwards we talked about the data we collected and made conclusions. This presentation below was to help us create further questions that were added at the end. It was a short but enjoyable collaborative project.
