Communication Plan As a teacher the key component to success is an open line of communicate between …show more content…
the teacher, student, stuff and parent. My communication in the educational community will consent upon many communication barrels for instance. I know there 21st century new technology, but I still think something should be done the old fashion way such as; phone call to parent this will be done if a student is sick or misbehaving, another way would be to communicate by email. I will set up a site that allow parents to see when and where the PTA meeting and parent teacher conference will be held. I will build a relationship with the parents so I can know who has phones and computer because some parent can’t afford internet and phone so I would mail a letter as well as send one home with the student. I will also have a field trip to the library for student with no computer to get a library card. When using technology using technology in a classroom setting there so many way one can communicate in the classroom with the number of different devices such as: E-book reader, computers, calculators, TV projectors. When using e-book reader in a classroom setting can make it easier and much funnier when students are reading old and new books. Calculator is a good from of communicate for math student because every student should be able to use the calculator for job purpose etc. By having TV in the classroom Elementary school student can look at positive education shows while learning at the sometime. When using projector in the classroom it allows the teacher to help the student study for test and asking question while they communicate in a classroom environment. Having a computer for communication is the best way a teacher can Crete his or her website where student can do activate as well as homework assignment and allowing the student to post blogs like another form of Facebook. In the classroom students can be able to use the computer for good behavior and when there no recess do to whether. Students can also become pen-pal and communicate from other student that are in another country. Students can partner up in groups to do group activates such as: poster board assignment, etc. Students can do classroom assignment on website like Edmodo and cool math. Teachers can do website where they can Crete their own assignment for the class can turn their work in and get a grade or teacher can read each other blogs and take notes and learn from each other work.
Integrating Insertional Technology
There are many different pros and cons when using technology to facilitate learning. Some of the cons of using technology to facilitate learning would be using too much technology and not giving student the chance to learn the old fashion way will have them relying on to much technology. Student can misused the internet go on website their not supposed to be on. Student can post negative things on different sites that can get them in trouble such as: Fights, personal information and bullying eachother.When too much technology is used it can take the fun of of learning for instance when a person is trying to learn their time tables, spelling words no amount of technology is going to help them learn that certain activates have to be study and written over and over on paper so the person can process. The pros for technology learning in the classroom is giving the student a chance to be advance in today’s world. Preparing student for jobs dealing with computer skills, clerks, secretary that will provide them with good career goals. Another pro could be giving student that can’t afford a computer to have the chance to work on it in the classroom. Technology in the classroom also helps with better learning the way it is done in the 21st century. The main benefit when using technology in the classroom is teachers are more able to provide information in many different ways. There are so many things technology can do and help teachers in the classroom that projector and smart board just can’t do. The different between wired and wireless technology in the classroom is wired internet just is usually in one area or it will have to be placed in different ports all around the room. Wireless internet can be hook up in one place and can be worked off of a lot of other different devices. Wireless networks are the future of our schools. Wired and wireless internet in the classroom are both helpful but both work in different ways. Wired networks allows student to have access in the classroom but it doesn’t allow student to connect to different devices and be mobile to move around.” FAST! Wired infrastructure can’t go away, but it will continue to be reduced to supporting devices that have to be wired and to support the campus wireless network.” Daryl Session (2015). There are four reasons why wireless internet is better the wired. 1). the explosion of mobile device on campus – college student have at least 3 to 5 devices that are used by Wi-Fi. 2). Lack of wireless network usage- most student these days don’t use plugs for access. 3). Wired Infrastructure costs – the wired network could be a little more when it comes to cost this network can cost $300.00 per connection. 4). Wireless networks are more scale- meaning another user can be connected very easily. “For this reason we believe school networks will continue to trend toward wireless” Daryl Sessions (2015).

Wireless Networks for school v/s wired network; which is better?

One of the most rational ways to do so is by using smart boards in the classroom. A smart board is a digital board that allows students to connect fobs or smart phones to it in order to interact with the skills or lessons being taught by either the teacher or another student all from where they are seated in the class. I feel by bringing one into my classroom it will give my students the opportunity to get more out of both the class and what I am teaching at the moment all the while making it fun for them. As well all know where there is a positive there is a …show more content…
negative. Although there are many benefits there are also some things that people may not agree with. One of those disagreements are cell phones in the classroom while most of the time they can be a distraction with this board they are a part of the learning process but it gets extremely difficult to tell when a student is using his or her cell phone to interact with the class or is using it to get off task. A positive reason to have it in the class is that it prevents boredom or lack of interest in a classroom or subject. It also encourages student teaching or independent learning amongst the students in the class, although they may not see it that way it is really helpful and provides a hands on experience for those students who are visual and hands on approach learners. In a classroom I feel that a teacher should use different style and methods of teaching to ensure that every student can benefit from both the lesson and comprehend what they are being taught no matter what type of learner they are. By adjusting to different teaching styles not only are teachers learning themselves but it prevents a closed minded approach to most topics. By using technology in the class you are connecting with the students by allowing them to learn by using the things they are already acquainted with and are glued to everyday to learn what they need to succeed in everyday life thus getting them to learn what you need them to and showing them how they can apply it to everyday life and the world around them.
It can sometimes be challenging to get students to enjoy what you are trying to get them to understand however using technology can make a difference in how students partake in the learning process or the introduction of new task, prompts, or outcomes. Not always is it about the teacher in is more so about relating it to the students in a way that they can understand and feel like is of importance to them and their future goals and life experiences. That is what technology allows us as teachers to do, create an environment that students feel that the information they are receiving they are benefited by and it is also useful to them. Thus causing them to want to learn.
Self-centered technology in the classroom is a good resource because it allows students to use what they have taught themselves to teach the rest of the class. This is good for two reasons. One some students may learn better by being taught by a peer this is also known as peer teaching. Two it allows students to demonstrate comprehension and understanding of what they are learning and also allows them to put their own personal experiences in to play showing that they are fully knowledgeable.
Technology to assessment The online technology in the classroom will always be advance year by year and it is study changing, there will always be a ways technology can be access by student learning 3 ways such as: Blackboard tests & responding, Clicker and Portfolio. Blackboard tests & responding – allows student to Crete quizzes and tests that can be done online. Clickers is a way student work together in groups to respond and post questions. Portfolio allow student learning and achievement to be demonstrated in records where the students have worked on over a period of time. “Technology can facilitate new ways of assessing student learning by enabling students to share work online, enabling instructors to give feedback online, and supporting real-time feedback”( Technology Teaching learning Group.)
Regardless of subject matter or grade level assessment is always in every classroom. However formative assessment and summative assessment are different. When doing formative assessment help checks student process with the information gain teachers and student are ensured success with more learning opportunities. Formative assessment consent upon: writing assignments, tests, quizzes and asking question. Summative assessment with this assessment student have reach their goal in others word their bermark. Summative assessment consent upon a final project, a written paper, midterm paper or exam.
Using technology to access student learning can be a lot of pros and cons. One good thing about access student learning is the attendance and participation in the classroom. When using via computer in classroom it’s faster. Students can get there work graded after they finish the assessment (meaning less work for teachers the computer grades all assessment objectly.
The cons against student learning can be tests given by computer are limited, the test are multiple choice, and there are no judgment from the computer on project and written answer student summit.
As a teacher he or she needs to be creative and think of many ways they can keep a manful, productive and open educational classroom. Teacher have to be open to all types of learning. Although technology plays a big part in the 21st education a teacher can’t only teach using technology along they must focus on all types of learning.
There are so many approaches to teaching outside of technology for instance: Challenging a student mind, doing tests to see how they memorize things, having group setting where kids read out loud. One of the most important is knowing his or her level so you can help them succeed to their potential.
The important of technology in connection with the ISTE.
The ISTE gives students the knowledge and skills they need to work, learn and teach. There has been a big increase in our society do to technology integration. ISTE can be very beneficial in assess technology by getting student ready for the future by developing student – centered online learning environment, helping student with their thinking skills. What we need to learn and how we learn it can forever change technology. “ The ISTE Standards set the bar for excellence and best practices in learning, teaching and leading with technology in education. “(ISTE
Standard).

Using technology in the classroom can help both teachers and students. It allows you to stay updated with all the new learning trends and accurate ways to induce self-learning. By using what students already are involved in to further their learning and gives them opportunity to show how well they comprehend the different skills and outcomes that were introduced to them over a period of time. Establishing a technology plan within the classroom allows teachers, students, and parents to have an accurate and knowledgeable relationship so that they can stay informed of what is going on in the classroom as well as letting parents know what they can do to help at home. Technology provides open lines of communication all three ways students can use it in case they miss a class or need to reference what they learned at a later time or date to either get a better understanding or to study. Teachers and parents can benefit from a technology based classroom because it allows teachers to directly communicate with their students’ parents to inform them on numerous things like behavior or struggles with certain skills or outcomes that they can work on at home. Although it isn’t the answer to all problems it can solve quite a few and help resolve stress on both teachers and students. Teachers get to learn new ways or show new styles of teaching and students can pace their learning and also practice self-teaching so that they can have questions when it is time to meet as a group again.
Although student and teacher both play a role in education it is a process that using our time in knowledge, implementation, understanding in learning. I think to make our comprehensive work in the classroom it takes a lot of effort on the student and the teacher. Student have to be ready to commit to learning in some ways they might not be used to which may be doing computerize activates online. Teachers have to be willing to keep a good communication open with their student and parents as well as making sure they can keep a daily log on what’s going on with each student. This is where technology plays a big part in the classroom he or she can keep up with their daily path letting a child know how good he or she is doing and exactly what they need improvement on. If everybody playing there part the comprehensive technology will increase the classroom at least 10%. Technology is the best thing that we can use in our classroom because we are living in a world where pretty soon everything is going to be ran by computer so its best that we get our students started early.as we can so nobody want be left behind.
