Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others. Students:
a. Plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits.
b. Evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance of information, media, data or other resources.
c. Curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions.
d. Build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions.
I believe I met this standard of being a Knowledge Constructor because I had to carefully research certain aspects of long-term behaviors, including diffusions of innovation, self-efficacy, social proof, and visceral matters. I also found several articles to tie into some of my points throughout this artifact by highly respectable sources, such as Forbes, Become a Writer Today, and Fluentu. Because many students, or people in general, find grammar to be a useless topic to learn about in English, I really had to dive into how I could make grammar memorable for my learners. I also tied in important take-aways about grammar and related them to real-world issues, such as professionalism while writing a document or resume, or simply while talking.
I would use long-term behavior design to help me explain to my students why certain tasks are important and why they matter, as well as how I could implement a task in a variety of ways. It also helps me identify levels of self-efficacy. I would also use this to help me determine any social times I could implement for students and how I could gauge their progress. Overall, I would use long-term behavior design to help me make my lessons more engaging for students and fun to go through so they're not bored the entire time they're in my classroom.
