M15 The integration of the wii found in the interesting ways web resource was a great idea of incorporating math lessons and sequences with the bowling game. The webtools page has a plethora of resources for all occasions and learning types. This is beyond necessary. #cit602

@reena5770 Which enable new learning spaces for the student as well as the instructor.

M14 it was inspiring to see the amount of successful learners with disabilities utilizing assistive technology. It is crucial to be able to identify which devices utilize their abilities physically and mentally in order to effectively comprehend, communicate and master.#cit602

[Jon Penas @JonPenas]

@reena5770 definitely a different way of thinking when trying to utilize tech within the curriculum and in the classroom setting. I think we should be comfortable with never becoming experts due to soft/hardwares changing but willing adapters/adopters/facilitators of tech

[Jon Penas @JonPenas]

@Francis96600393 It is definitely our responsibility to know the technology that is appropriate in all situations and learning environments. Its also a responsibility to properly identify disabilities early so that students will be able to become accustomed to master the technology.#cit602

@amandad87019027 I highly agree with your statement. It is also essential for students to learn how to give proper credit and avoid things like copyright infringement upon content they are sharing. Those lawsuits mentioned in the music industry affected a very young age group. #cit602

[Jon Penas @JonPenas]

M13 copyright and fair use issues in the classroom is an extremely important aspect when creating content. It is crucial to note the amount and limitations of content teachers can use. Creative commons is a great resource to utilize when searching content. #cit602

@BaldomeroCoron3 @unlvpg I also liked that analogy made in the video. The emphasis and control truly rely on the driver of the technology which is indeed the human mind. I also agree that coding enables students to see an applicable perspective in problem solving. #cit602

[Jon Penas @JonPenas]

M10 Coding to learn was a powerful concept. The misconception that the new age are literate in technology but the majority are actually just users being able to read and use interfaces but not able to write in the universal language which enables endless possibilities. #cit602

[Jon Penas @JonPenas]

@amandad87019027 I agree with your standpoint especially when it comes to math games. With the timed aspect of it and it portraying as a quiz really doesnt give students an incentive to want to play or navigate the site. Thanks for your honest review. We might as well drill and kill. #cit602

There are great games on place values and fractions on this site. FISHY Fractions is interactive and challenging although did not view well on a desktop. Would recommend for algebra section. #cit602

M7 It's definitely important to incorporate the aspect of digital story telling. Students need to not only be consumers of content but the producers and creators as well. It's not only engaging but it also gives students the opportunity to be creative and articulate. #cit602

@reena5770 I agree with your stance on hitting all interests/autonomy when it comes to learning mathematics. My focus is to change the attiude on learning in general to see mroe engagement. It can be difficult making real-world connections with some of the standards being so cemented#cit602

M5 The concept of udl encompasses differentiated learning to meet the learning abilities of students in the classroom. If it is utilized effective forms of assessment are deployed which can be broken into assessment strands to accurately measure cognitive abilities #Cit602

@unlvpg Other than understanding and being able to maneuver UI's and utilize applications for business purposes or personal gain, should the goal also be knowing the true makeups of software and hardware in regrads for probing innovation? #cit602

[Jon Penas @JonPenas]

M2 It's an overwhelming realization that 21st century learners must master skillsets and information beyond the core curriculum. Current educators play a vital role in employing learning activities that spark discovery, creation & innovation. Tech is the golden platform. #cit602
