This week we were introduced to ELA standards. I chose the seventh grade technology matrix. One of the standards listed is LAFS.7.SL2.5. This standard says that you must incorporate multimedias in the form of videos and such in your presentations and demonstrations in order to further drive home your points. I do feel prepared to implement this kind of technology in an educational environment because I have worked with programs such as imovie and I know how to make online posters now. It also mentions knowing how to work audio recorders and I am comfortable with doing that.
The next useful tool we learned about was the CPALMS website for educators. I chose the seventh ,grade once again, as well as language arts because that is what I would want to teach. There were 39 original student tutorials for language arts. I looked at the tool titled "writing a great paragraph". This tool came with multiple step by step videos that would help aid students in improving upon their paragraph writing skills. I would use this in my classroom as an introduction to warm students up to what we would be focusing on in the upcoming lessons. I believe it would be useful because it gives students a good understanding and allows me to answer any questions after the video and fill in gaps the videos could not.
Internet searching is a skill that I had not realized was so important up until recently in my college courses. This class has shown me how much easier it can be to find the exact things I'm looking for without wasting time. This is important in the classroom so your lessons run smoothly and you can better help your students find what they're looking for online. One of the most important search skills in my opinion is putting quotations around a text to make sure only that specific wording shows up. Another tip i found useful was using * * when you're missing a word in your search. I never knew about that skill and i see how useful it can be.
