Week+5+-+Reflecting+on+using+Technology

Week 5 – Reflecting Upon Teaching In Technology This week I learned how to reinforce student’s efforts. One of the readings expressed how student do not realize the importance of effort. Most students try to blame certain factors as a reason for not applying themselves. One example was taken out of “Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works,” by Pitler, Hubbell, Kuhn and Malenoski – stated that some students have misconceptions of certain backgrounds excelling in a curricular area. Educators are encouraged to teach students about effort, and there are many useful technology tools that can be used such as spreadsheet software, and data collection tools to reinforce feedback, and to keep track of all student efforts. I also learned that authentic testing can prepare students for standardized testing.
