Designing digital age learning experiences can range from simple to complex integrations and applications. This week we will explore and apply some digital tools when planning to teach. This ISTE standard states that "Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the NETS-S." This includes:
|
- designing and adapting relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity
- develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress
- customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources
- provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching
This week the digital teaching and learning work will focus on elearning landscapes, defining and exploring blended learning, examining universal design principles as they apply to lesson and unit planning.
