ETC 447 Final Video Script

Video	Audio
Standard 1, Part 1 Promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. What slide/graphics:	A Def: To me, this part of the standard represents the teacher utilizing technology boldly and confidently in their classroom. When teachers show their students the endless tech possibilities and everything they can accomplish together, they are demonstrating innovative thinking and inventiveness. B Example: A teacher could give their students a common problem and have them use technology to solve it.  For example, the students could design a machine that could help mothers get ready in the morning.
Standard 1, Part 2 Engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. What slide/graphics:	B Def: To me, this standard represents the idea that students can use technology to explore our World.  With this, the students can get interested in different problems around the world and work towards solutions. A Example: A potential lesson for students is having them research current news through an unbiased resources (NPR, The BBC) and study the real-world issues. After using technology to deepen their understanding, they can create some kind of blog, news report, etc. with their authentic solution as a demonstration of their problem-solving strategies.
Standard 1, Part 3 Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. What slide/graphics:	A Def: Promoting student reflection is an essential component to teaching. When teachers utilize collaborative tools such as blogs, surveys, or a feedback form they are helping their students to clarify and deepen their understanding throughout the entire learning process. B Example: For one of our lesson plans, Amanda had her students create dinosaur blogs.  This depicted their conceptual understanding of their chosen dinosaur, as well as allowing the student to communicate with each other.
Standard 1, Part 4 Model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments. What slide/graphics:	B Def: The most important part of this stand deals with building the students collaboration skills.  These skills can be developed through multiple strategies - face-to-face or virtual. A Example: As a lesson this could look like student’s having a virtual penpal that communicates through email, engaging in people’s blogs by responding and creating their own posts, or simply watching educational videos like TED Talks and engaging in what the speaker has to say. There are a multitude of ways for teachers and students to engage in virtual realities
Standard 2, Part 1 Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity. What slide/graphics:	A Def: Technology is everywhere and in order to properly prepare your students for their futures, they need to be savvy with technology. By having digital tools and resources throughout lessons and in your classroom, as a teacher, you are exposing your students and helping to get them interested in a variety of technology B Example: Instead of having students fill out an exit ticket using a slip of paper, a teacher could post a question on various social media and have the students solve it there.  This would help connect their interests with technology.
Standard 2, Part 2 Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress. What slide/graphics:	B Def: This standard puts the students in charge of their learning through their goals, management, and keeping track of progress.  I think this standard give the students the biggest choice and most control in their education because it focuses heavily on their personal interests. A Example: To me this would look like having technology readily available to students at all times. That could be by having a computer section in your classroom, having a cart of ipads for students or chromebooks, letting them interact with the smart board. It’s encouraging students to use the tech in the classroom and surrounds areas to deepen their understand of the world and become excited about all the information they can uncover!
Standard 2, Part 3 Customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources. What slide/graphics:	A Def: Not every student in your classroom is going to have the same learning styles. Instead of trying to teach a “one size fits all” curriculum teachers need to customize and personalize learning activities. They can do this through utilizing technology and having students use the tech and tech settings that work best for them to maximize their learning. B Example: When completing a unit on Sea Life, a teacher could have her students film a movie, make a powerpoint, create a brochure, or video game to display their knowledge of the subject.  The key is to allow the students to shine in their own ways with their diverse talents.
Standard 2, Part  4 Provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching What slide/graphics:	B Def: Testing is key in guiding instruction and what better way to test your students than using technology!  A teacher must use various formative and summative testing to spice up the student’s education - it’ll prevent them from getting bored too.  There have been a variety of apps created to integrate technology into the classroom. A Example: The teacher can create a variety of different activities and tech based projects to have students showcase their knowledge. The teacher can also create different surveys and feedback forms for students to fill out to gage what they enjoy, what they want more or less of. This helps create an inclusive tech based classroom community where students are learning and teachers are receiving authentic assessments.
Standard 3, Part 1 Demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. What slide/graphics:	A Def: This is a really important part to the standard. By becoming fluent in specific technologies, it is much easier to work other forms of tech. This is important once a teacher to model and teach to your students. B Example: Throughout the semester, the students will build their technology proficiency.  This can be monitored by teaching the students how to use iPads and then switching to Google Chromebooks - they’re both owned by Apple so they will operate similarly
Standard 3, Part 2 Collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. What slide/graphics:	B Def: This standard focuses on student collaboration again - they need to get used to working with their peers for group projects!  It is important that they learn to use various technologies in a creative manner with their partners. A Example: Collaborating with others is a critical component to teaching and learning. As a teacher I plan to have and continuously update my teacher website filled with critical information. I will also utilize some kind of platform like Class Dojo to keep parents always up to speed on our class events and send them pictures of students and what we are doing. This helps keep everyone in the loop and connected to our classroom.
Standard 3, Part 3 Communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. What slide/graphics:	A Def: There are many ways to relay information to students, parents, and peers. By using different forms of tech (class website, digital newsletter, Remind 101, Class Dojo). It is imperative that there is an open flow of communication between teacher students and parents. B Example: Creating and Posting a class website will help students, parents, etc. stay up to date on upcoming and past assignments.  Trust me, parents will love this!
Standard 3, Part 4 Model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning. What slide/graphics:	B Def: It’s time to get tech savvy!  It is important for the teacher to brush up on a variety of technologies to make sure the students are understanding them and using them to their advantage. A Example: It is so important to always try to improve your practice. By trying to stay on top of the digital world and new technologies being worked on or released, helps model that excitement for students. By following tech blogs, watching videos, and subscribing to newsletters and magazines immerses your classroom with the important of up and coming technology.
Standard 4, Part 1 Advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources. What slide/graphics: Screenshot of first powerpoint	A Def: Being safe on the internet is a must for every digital citizen, especially our students. With the internet comes great responsibility. When technology is utilized in the classroom students need to know what is expected of them when researching or simplifying exploring. Educating on copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources is a must for all tech users. B Example:  In terms of ethics, it is always fun to relate examples to your students lives!  For example, which of these are good used of technology?
Standard 4, Part 2 Address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources. What slide/graphics:	B Def: Each of our students brings a variety of skills and needs to the classroom - we need to figure out how to juggle them to support our kids! A Example: Since there are so many different technologies available to support students, they need to be utilized. We have equipment that can help our students be successful, schools need to do everything in their power to make certain that they do. This could be laptops or ipads for every student, sprouts, virtual reality goggles, smart boards, interactive tables, the list goes on. Appropriate digital tools for all our diverse learners!
Standard 4, Part 3 Promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information. What slide/graphics:	A Def: Since there is so much access to the digital world, students need to learn how to appropriately use it. Cyber bullying is a national problem. By modeling and promoting digital etiquette and social interactions we help students learn about how to be kind and respectful to one another regardless of if it's a face to face interaction or between screens. B Example: In this movie, the main character becomes a victim of cyberbullying.  This movie will put cyberbullying into perspective for your classes.
Standard 4, Part 4 Develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools. What slide/graphics:	B Def: It’s time to get multicultural!!! This standard deals with the teacher building ties with people of different cultural backgrounds in order to bring people together. A Example: Creating a classroom that is connected to not only their communities but communities around the world is a great way to promote global awareness. In the future when Brenna is teaching in Korea and I’m either teaching with the Department of Defense or in California, our students will be pen pals. This will help our students connect to one another regardless of distance and promote cultural understanding.
