This week of my reflection on ISTE Students Standards for my graduate work in Digital Education Leadership at Seattle Pacific University, I am focused on ISTE standard five and specifically; how can I implement interconnected digital data collection and analysis of the data collected to help facilitate problem-solving and decision-making in my classroom? ISTE Student Standard … Continue reading ISTE – Computational Thinking -Interconnected Data Collection

Module 3: The Innovative Designer – Building a Tolerance for Ambiguity in Students

Background I started off this module on ISTE 4 Innovative Designer wanting to discover some of the ways that coding, technology, makerspaces, or other innovation age technologies would allow students to demonstrate perseverance and increase their capacity to solve open-ended problems. In relation to those questions, I wondered how the above approaches to learning would … Continue reading “Module 3: The Innovative Designer – Building a Tolerance for Ambiguity in Students”

“But I Just Want to Know the Right Answer!” Teaching is a delicate balancing act. On the one hand, we have to help our students understand content, but on the other, we have to help our students become better thinkers. Sometimes, these goals seem contradictory. The quote above was a frustrated response I got … Continue reading “Living in the Mystery: Ambiguity and Open-Ended Questions and ISTE Standard #4”

Module 3 – Innovative Designer

Ms. K Henderson February 12, 2017 February 12, 20176102, EDTC6102, ELL, Innovative Designer, ISTE, Sentence Frames

This week we were asked to look at ISTE Student Standard 4 – Students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions. Looking more closely at 4d, I questioned, how can I support students to persevere and work with open-ended ambiguous problems. … Continue reading “Module 3 – Innovative Designer”

I initially began by asking myself – “how can my middle school students know and use a thoughtful design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems? Specifically speaking when creating an argument how can my student’s design and test their ideas to solve their genuine problems?” I know there … Continue reading ISTE – Innovative Designer – Deliberate Design in the Classroom to Promote Student Capacity

Module 2: Supporting ELLs as Knowledge Constructors

Ms. K Henderson January 31, 2017 January 31, 20176102, EDTC6102, ELL, ITSE 3, Knowledge Constructor

The internet can be overwhelming for adults to search, let alone asking 7-11 year olds to do their own online research. Add in barriers such as limited English, unfamiliarity with using a keyboard, first time using the internet, language proficiency, first year of formal education and still learning what it means to participate in a … Continue reading “Module 2: Supporting ELLs as Knowledge Constructors”

I have found that most if not all intermediate elementary students really lack the skills to check the credibility of sources derived from the internet. Typically students will type a search term into a search engine, like Google and are then faced with millions of results. Here is a great example of a type of … Continue reading “Module 2: Teaching Content Curation to Empower Students”
