Standards v. Individual Needs The thought of covering all state standards each year along with differentiating content, process, and product for students’ unique individual needs is a large task. While students need the foundational skills that they learn in school, they also need adults who know and care about them as people and learners. The greatest tool that we have at our disposal is each other. I have learned so much from mentor teachers and brilliant teachers on the internet. My student teaching mentor always reminded me that half the job of being innovative and exciting is copying from teachers that have had success with new or different methods than your own. There is so much room for differentiation when teachers share ideas and experiences with one another. As Roblyer & Hughes (2019) highlight under the Social conditions and implications for educators section, it is important that teachers “create ‘live’ technology plans to share accomplishments and needs withi...

Data Collection & Analysis

February 01, 2021

As highlighted by Roblyer & Hughes (2019) in chapter 4, data collection and analysis tools are beneficial to both teachers and students in their ability to collect, analyze, and visualize data. Primarily, it greatly benefits the teacher in reducing the time it would take to collect, analyze, and provide feedback to students. This is also beneficial to students when they understand the process that is taken to create this data. I collect data from my students every day. For starters, I record their homework/test/quiz/and project grades in the online program Gradelink. In addition, I incorporate virtual activities that are assigned online such as google forms, Kahoot!, and teachers pay teachers digital activities. I love how easy it is to collect and analyze students individually, and comparatively. I agree with Burns (2015) when she states, “Locating the right tool, building data collection into your routine, and making a plan based on student understanding are important steps to fo...

Allison Collins: Hello all and welcome to my blog! My name is Allison Collins and I reside in Stamford, CT with my fiancé Ryan and Australian Shepherd named Gunner. I enjoy my job as a 5th to 8th grade math teacher at a Greek private school in NY. Technology is an important aspect in my daily life and profession. In my personal time I enjoy scrolling on social media, perusing Pinterest, and searching for new recipes! At work, now more than ever, technology is essential to our day to day operations. We are currently implementing simultaneous in person and remote learning. We are using zoom as the platform to communicate with students that choose the remote learning option. In order for students to see and hear us and their classmates, we are using tripod cameras and wireless microphones. I joke with the students that I am their tour guide for the day, but I am happy to be connected with them virtually. In order to keep everyone on the same page we are using Google Classroom for announcements, material, and assignments. To keep track of attendance and grades we are using Gradelink. I find both programs to be very user friendly and helpful during this strange time.
