7.1 Candidates will be able to apply models of technology in school (such as SAMR, TPACK, and/or TIM) to incorporate technology tools to improve teaching and learning.
I took a first grade math lesson and enhanced the lesson by using the SAMR model. I incorporated multiple technology tools to refine the students learning. The students had to collect their data and create a data sheet to document their findings. Then the students had to record themselves explaining their work so their classmates can see how they problem solved. For the “redefine” part of SAMR, the students had to create their own game with rules. Next they played their classmates’ games and gave feedback.
7.2 Candidates will be able to demonstrate the ability to tackle challenging technical tasks.
The link leads to a hyperdoc that we completed in ET660 Innovative Digital Schools. During this activity we had to analyze computational thinking activities and discuss how they relate to the higher-level learning through Bloom’s Taxonomy, Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, and TPACK. We had to connect this new learning to our classroom and how we will make changes to support the higher-level students with technology in the classroom. On this activity, I worked with coding which was tackling a challenging technical task for me. I had to create different codes to make a drome move.
