Gaming in the Classroom

February 15, 2021

https://youtu.be/ECFRcFkymNo Gaming in the Classroom Gamification and gaming in the classroom are relatively novel topics in education. Many believe that gaming in the classroom engages and motivates learners, leading to student enjoyment and learning. However, many are cautious about the content, context, and connection to standards and curriculum. With little research and evidence in this area, teachers must be thorough when investigating the use of games in the classroom. In my opinion, when done right, gaming in the classroom benefits all relevant stakeholders. Students are engaged and motivated, teachers have the opportunity to collect data on student responses and performance, and parents hear and see the excitement that their children have for school. In addition, students may be able to use these games/websites at home for further reinforcement. Roblyer & Hughes (2019) highlight some of the challenges associated with gaming in the classroom to be: focus on learn...

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.

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.
