Mod 8: A digital learning environment is any space in which student tele-communicate with someone else for the purpose of sharing and gaining information #FCPSDLE
@Katheri65246500 I like how you said to establish these rules from the beginning. I am teaching an online algebra course this school year and your post made me realize I need to include my digital rules from day 1, thanks for the reminder!
@DRossTeaches So I have always liked this idea of creating rules as a class but I have never been able to do it with success. I think I just need to let go of some control, lol.
Mod 7: Some good procedures for a digital environment should be to arrange the classroom to monitor student activity, to get a screen monitoring app for teacher computer, and to praise students for proper use.#FCPSDLE
Module 6: Just recently started to use google forms as a form of assessment. It helped me to assess knowledge quickly as well as get students familiar with how a problem could look on the PARCC #FCPSDLE
@Katheri65246500 I agree, use of technology is a great way to engage students. I also always am surprised when I realized how few students really know how to use the different technologies around them.
@DRossTeaches Yes, agreed. That aspect of getting students to discuss is still such a challenge for me. I have realized that I need to give sentence starters to help me and the students get started.
Module 5: Support for framework can be seen in many ways, "Demonstrating Knowledge of Resources" by accessing variety of digital resources and by "Establishing a Culture for Learning" outside the classroom walls in the digital world #FCPSDLE
Module 4: Students could use it to post questions they have about assignments or about things in a reading the do not understand and others could thenr respond#FCPSDLE
@MsMsaysREAD I like the idea of using it as an exit ticket. I often run out of class time to do one so twitting it would be a great time saver. #FCPSDLE
reply to Donna Ross: I agree. I think just simply talking about bloom's taxonomy with students can be one way to help them write better questions. #FCPSDLE
#FCPSDLE Module 3 For helping students write better questions I like using sentence starters. It gives the students a helpful hint on where to go when trying to write their own.
@Sara_Shunkwiler#FCPSDLE I acutally think this would be a great tool to use for module 3 question. You and the student can open the doc together and go back and forth writing and answering each other's questions!
@MsMsaysREAD I love sticky notes! #FCPSDLE When working through an assignment I write each question to answer on a sticky and then place them in the text where I think it gets answered.
@MsMsaysREAD Sticky Notes Rock! I will each question I am trying to find on a different sticky and then attach them to the page or part of the text that I think answers it!
@DRossTeaches Online learning is now a new skill that is important for us to teach our students. Sometimes I forget this and just assume since they are young they know how to navigate and comprehend the online word. Rock on to mentoring students with this over the summer #FCPSDLE.
Module 2. I love using Ted Talks. The presenters are always so dynamic, many using visuals alongside their verbal explanations. I also use TeachersPayTeachers. The site allows me to find several different formats to explain a skill while also supporting my community. #FCPSDLE
@mrskaveney#CCSS definitely forces both teacher and student to fully understand the content to be then be successful on assessments. A more focused and in-depth understanding is now a necessity for all involved #FCPSDLE
