Digital Blog Post #H- Chapter 9

Digital Blog Post #H - Chapter 9

I used a new web 2.0 tool called emaze, hope you enjoy!

Digital Blog Post #G- Chapter 10

I created a word search puzzle  that covers three concepts in chapter 10:

Concept 1: Using technology with linguistically diverse learners is very important. There are many different ways to help students learn and translate words outside of class and online. For example, Google Translate, BabelFish and other apps that could be found on a cellular device is a great way to practice and learn. There are also multilingual web resources, international newspapers and maps and also English language word origins that can help benefit learning a new or second language. I can personally relate to using Google Translate. A co-worker from Venezuela and I talk by Google translating on the app that I have on my phone and it is very accurate. It also teaches my friend and I different ways to say certain words which is a great way to expand a students vocabulary.

Concept 2: Differentiated instruction is an an instructional approach when teachers create different educational experiences as ways to meet the learning needs of individual students (Gregory & Herndon, 2010 Tomlinson & Imbeau, 2010). I believe that teaching to include different learning styles is the key to successful differentiated instruction. There are four different ways of learning for students such as readiness, interest, learning profile and affect. This is also a way to increase minds-on learning, because it engages student's curiosity.

Concept 3: Writing transformations with technology. This concept is about figuring out a different way to process writing for student writers. In this approach, Internet, classroom computers, PowerPoint, word processing, handheld devices and other technologies provide engaging support to children. Some reasons why some students have a hard time with writing may be pressure, lack of confidence, lack of joy, lack of patience, misdirected self- evaluation and also ideas about being smart. It is important for teachers to reassure students that even when they do not understand certain things, to keep working hard and use the technology available to help!

Promoting Success for All Students Through Tech.
