Communication & Technology
The teacher uses knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, and media
communication techniques to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and
supportive interaction in the classroom.
Belief
Statement: Communication
is key to reaching students in a way that will convey what students need to
know. Everything that teachers do carries a message to students. It is a fact
that most students resave information through nonverbal communication; teachers
need to watch what they do. Teachers must also use all types of technology and media
convey the information. These technologies and forms of media can connect to
students in ways that just lecturing does not.
Artifact
1: Lesson on notetaking with Livescribe pen
Reflection:
In this lesson
students will learn important tips on taking good notes. They will also be introduced
to a technology tool to help students take more effective notes: the Livescribe
Smart Pen. The Livescribe Pen records audio and connects the audio to writing
and can be uploaded onto a computer to be shared with the class. As a way to ensure
that students practice taking good notes, each student will take the smart pen
for one class period and take notes to be shared with the class on the class website.
This will be a resource for students that missed a class and to review impartial
notes.
Although
this has not been implemented in my classroom, it is a great technological
resource for students and helps students take notes. There may also be problems
with students that do not wish their notes to be put on the website. The way I
intend of dealing with this issue is to make it optional for them to put it on
the website. If they just tell me on the corner of their notes, I will then put
the notes from one of the other classes’ so that there are no missed sets of
notes for each class.
