My principal loves Twitter, and frequently lauds it as one of the best places to access professional development. This endorsement led me to approach social media as a professional development tool with an open mind, and I find that I return most frequently to TikTok. But social media app like
Well it is winter quarter in my master’s program at Seattle Pacific University and we are focusing on ISTE Coaching Standard 5: Professional learning Facilitator Coaches plan, provide and evaluate the impact of professional learning for educators and leaders to … Continue reading
Designing Meaningful PD for Teachers – What’s Out There? by James Bettis From my interpretation of the standards, ISTE 5 is about how teachers model lifelong learning and engage in learning to benefit their school or community through the use of digital tools. I wanted to find what districts might do to craft the best … Continue reading “Module 5: Designing Meaningful PD for Teachers – What’s Out There?”
Riding the Wave This week’s question for EDTC 6103 was pretty straightforward. Given ISTE standard 5, I wanted to focus in on indicator C, which called for teachers to “evaluate and reflect on current research and professional practice on a regular basis to make effective use of existing and emerging digital tools and resources in … Continue reading “Surfing the Wave: Keeping Abreast of the Digital Ed Field in ISTE 5”
My last blog post about the ISTE Standards for Students I had to choose to reflect on Standard 6 Creative Communicator or Standard 7 Global Collaborator. What a tough choice! Both standards are of course extremely important and given the time I would post about each, but with the time constraints and our quarter winding … Continue reading “Module 5: Students as Creative Communicators and Contributors”
Once again in investigating computational thinking and ISTE standard for students number 5, I was surprised at just how many different directions I could have gone in the search for answers on computational thinking. I was hoping to find some ways to integrate computational thinking into my classroom practice in order to build on the … Continue reading “Module 4: Computational Thinker and Mindful Teacher”
“Students formulate problem definitions suited for technology-assisted methods such as data analysis, abstract models and algorithmic thinking in exploring and finding solutions.” ISTE Standard 5, indicator 5a (2016) “This kind of thinking [computational thinking] will part of the skill set of not only other scientists, but of everyone else…computational thinking is tomorrow’s reality.” Jeanette M. … Continue reading “I, Robot – or at least thinking like one: ISTE Standard #5 “Computational Thinking””
