...MAE 4310 Individual Lesson Plan – Technology Reflection Name: Lynndsey Wilson 1. What technology did you use in your lesson plan? Please be as specific as possible. In my lesson plan I used the smart board to bring up the http://nlvm.usu.edu/ website. On the website we used the interactive graph, which you can find when click on k-2 and data analysis. 2. Did the technology help you to better understand the content? If so, how? If not, why not? The technology that I used in the lesson did not personally help me better understand the content. This is because the lesson for graphs is just an introduction for first grade, I feel very confident in my understanding of this content. 3. Do you think your technology will better help your future students understand the content? Why or why not? I feel strongly that by using the interactive graph and displaying it on my smart board will really help my future students. I believe that it will help those students who are visual and kinesthetic learners because it is displayed for the students and it is interactive. 4. Did the use of your technology help you devise methods to teach the material to your future students? If so, how? I do not think that the technology really help me devise methods to teach the material to my future students. I came up with how I was going to teach the lesson first. After I came up with the lesson I looked for what kind of technology I could use in...

By using the latest and most age appropriate technology available, my students will leave my class with the confidence of being able to successfully use and employ each technology tool. Vision statement: I will teach my students what they will need in order to be successful in years to come, giving them a since of knowledge that they can productively improve the community they live in by using good communication, and technology skills. Section 2: Communications Plan The development of a plan to integrate technology into the learning environment in a classroom is a process that needs careful research and planning (Vanderlinde& Van, 2013). As a new educator I do feel confident that if set up for success this is possible. When it comes to communication it very important that teachers use technology as a tool to enable communication to take place easier and faster, with their students and parents. Being a teacher I find it necessary to allow all types of communication to be possible. When doing so it is proven that the parent and family involvement leads to better academic achievement (Kervin, Verenikina, Jones, & Beath, 2013). As a teacher I am a strong believer that communication from parent to teacher is a must for students be become stronger learners. Being a new teacher I need the help from parents...

...As educational organizations, especially those concerned with primary and secondary grade levels, continue to increase technology based learning applications into the student’s everyday academic careers, creating the opportunity for parents, families, and guardians have closer involvement with the student’s classroom, and for all educators and administrators to have better communication about individual instructor’s schoolrooms and lessons teachers are taking to the internet and creating classroom websites to services these needs. It is important for one to remember “It is not about the technology; it’s about sharing knowledge and information, communicating efficiently, building learning communities and creating a culture of professionalism in schools” (Ginopolis, 2014). The technological world makes fantastic advances and that individuals and companies use to the advantage of students around the globe to improve their academic and computer skills that are implemented into classrooms and homes. These advances and programs allow educators to maintain student interest in their required subjects thereby increasing their productivity and communication capabilities. Aside from providing parents and students with class assignments and what is going on in the pupil’s classroom and school the teacher may provide an emergency contact list for their class that includes not only teacher and all school district personnel’s workplace contact information but also for the parents of that instructor’s...

...Technology Plan Paper Akosua Adjei Sentara College of Health Sciences Technology Plan Paper Introduction As remote monitoring of patients gradually more becomes a vital part of our health care delivery system globally, and patients become more comfortable to its ease, hospitals, health systems, insurance providers, and clinicians will have to seek out new ways to use the fast developing technology in diverse and modern ways. While telemonitoring technology is gaining interest as a plan to improve the care of patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma, heart failure; they frequently also raise their own different set of legal and compliance challenges, particularly in the area of privacy and security. This paper will analyze needs and recommend ways in creating a remote monitoring program for patients with heart failure with information to how to implement it throughout the organization. What is Telemonitoring? Key information technology application domains in health care include telemedicine and home telecare. On the one hand, telemedicine is defined as the direct provision of clinical care, including diagnosing, treating, or consultation, via telecommunications for a patient at a distant (Wainwright &Wootton, 2003). Remote monitoring, or telemonitoring, can be regarded as a subdivision of telemedicine, which is the use of electronic and telecommunications technologies to provide and support health care when distance separates the participants (Nangalia...

Technology has many advantages throughout education. As future educators, we are preparing our students for the future and technology is becoming more and more advanced. Today’s technology helps the teacher plan lessons and it also helps students gain valuable knowledge to succeed in today’s world. “There is also governmental legislation in place, such as the Enhancing Education through Technology program that requires all students to be technologically literate by the eighth grade. This is ensured by the Government Performance and Results Act program that assesses the percentage of eighth grade students who meet technology requirements.”(www.uscranton.com). There is a variety of technology that is being used in classrooms today. Kid Blogs Kid blogs is a great way to get the younger students involved in technology. It allows them the opportunity to start up their own blogs that are connected to their classrooms. Creating a kids blog in your classroom encourages the students to write more and use their creative side. Teachers are able to monitor all the activity in the blog, and parents have the opportunity to read the blogs as well. The kid’s blog focuses on meaningful writing, but allows students to also work on collaborating projects...

...EDU 225 Comprehensive Classroom Technology Plan My mission is to incorporate technology strategies in the classroom as much as possible, while following the guidelines set out by the state curriculum. My vision is to create a classroom/environment where all students are excited and anxious to learn and that students be able to show what they have learned at the end of each lesson. As technology continues to grow, there will be more and more of a need and demand for technology use in the classroom. When using computer technology in the classroom, one must find the course of action to correctly guide lessons for the curriculum so that students can reach their optimum goals. Ultimately to mark how each student is doing in the classroom we must locate software for formative and summative assessments. After all, a teacher’s ultimate goal to be able to teach our students and also be able to document what those students have learned. In that light one, the teacher must look a number of things, how can technology assist in efforts to assess student learning? What are formative assessment and summative assessment and how do they compare and differ? What are the pluses and minuses of using technology in the classroom? Should only technology be used in assessing learning? These are the questions that teachers seek to answer and justify. First, let us explore assessments in the classroom. Why is assessment necessary? What are formative and summative assessments...

...3D STREAMING TECHNOLOGY AND LIMITATIONS 3D films are not a new technology, but only recently have movies been brought into our homes thanks to the high capacity of Blu-Ray discs and because of new televisions that feature high refresh rates which show films at double the frame rate required for our eyes to distinguish motion. A 3D movie is really two entire movies shown at the same time, one that your left eye sees, and one for your right eye. Special glasses are required to switch between the two in a way that your brain perceives as three-dimensional. Because of this, twice as much data is needed for a 3D movie compared to a 2D one, which presents certain issues when trying to send this data over a medium such as the Internet. Thankfully, several technologies are emerging that will make this possible in the near future and that we believe Blockbuster is well positioned to take advantage of in order to offer 3D content streaming to their customers. The biggest factor of sending a movie over the Internet is the amount and type of compression that is used. It would be impossible to send a fully uncompressed high definition movie directly to your home, whether or not it is 3D, because the amount of data is staggering. In order to make the files smaller and able to be sent in small pieces, companies like Netflix use compression formats such as MPEG or AVI which use special technologies that result in smaller files. This involves limiting the bit depth for colors in a way...
