As I plan and think about this coming year, I am excited for the opportunities to differentiate lessons and work one-on-one with students. https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1058678 https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1058678 I look forward to figuring out how to use the technology, if possible, to bring math to life and create a hands-on learning environment from home. Wed, 22 Aug 2018 07:31:01 -0400 Upon joining the JIA team this year, I relied on my fellow teachers for guidance in the areas of technology and lesson structure. https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1058677 https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1058677 With JIA rolling out new programs this year, it became even more important that I communicate my ideas and struggles with my team. Wed, 22 Aug 2018 07:31:01 -0400 I think that there is a freedom to be creative with the technology and use it in such a way that brings the students and parents into the curriculum. And I agree with the flexibility element that students can work at their own pace. https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1058676 https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1058676 My concern is that students may take advantage of this or expect us to be accommodating without a fault. Wed, 22 Aug 2018 07:31:01 -0400 The phrase that an effective classroom requires more than technology resonates with me because in today's society I think we get consumed with making it quicker and easier, and not always the most engaging or effective for students. https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1058674 https://nowcomment.com/documents/107104?scroll_to=1058674 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 07:31:01 -0400
