This module taught me that teaching Net Generation students requires moving beyond lectures to foster critical thinking and engagement. I’ll use a flipped classroom model and interactive activities to promote deeper learning. I’ll also motivate students through clear expectations, choice, and positive reinforcement.
I feel this section of the course is a bit outdated as it fails to cover the huge impact that social media, and online discussion sites such as Discourse and Whats App, now has on our student body. However, guiding students to use internet resources appropriately to enhance their learning is important.
Providing a mix of new and old technology can help students just because each person retains info differently.
I learned that students should make their own choices although they might make mistakes because when they go into their careers they will be making their own choices.
I like the thought of webquests, many applications in what I teach
Technology incorporated into class needs to have clear guidelines and examples. Students can be motivated to come to class timely when meaningful content and activities are initiated at the beginning of class meetings, so punishment is not the best way to prevent tardiness.
I love the flipped classroom concept. Will implement an aspect of my class like that in the fall.
I support rewarding students for their hard work; however, if some individuals regularly arrive late to class, it is counterproductive to continue rewarding them. While some situations may be out of one's control, it is essential to remind students that they are preparing for their future careers, where effective time management is crucial for job retention hired.
I really like the idea of incorporating webquests into my lectures - a great way to engage students in a way that they can relate to.
Using old technology and new technology in various ways can be beneficial to a broader generational base of students.
I believe in rewarding students for their efforts, ut if some students consistently come to class late, it would not be a good thing to keep rewarding those late students. Although there are circumstances beyond one's control, students must be reminded that they are being trained for a chosen future career and adapting to specific time management is the cornerstone of keeping a job when hired.
What I am finding with the younger generations is a craving for old-fashioned principles, such as teacher - student relationships and human interaction. Technology is a tool.
Integrating technology into teaching is crucial, as today’s students are digital natives who anticipate its use in the classroom
It is very important to implement technology into your lessons because that's what the younger students will be expecting because that's what they grew up with.
Comment on Mellisa Fish's post: Since I can remember Junior High School and the first Apple computer I knew that technology would impact the lives of us all. But only at the time computers as we may have experienced were more for learning how to write code and mostly for those who could afford them. Because todays computers come in the version of the latest iphones or other available phone/computers its become so mainstream even children have access to them. My point if technology while frightening as it can be for some crossing that barrier is more often than not a worthwhile effort.
So from the lesson the flipped classroom is a way to approach student engagement they will in turn bring into the classroom their experiences learned outside of the classroom setting. It allows the instructor to more or less give students real-life application as it is achieved in the real-world. Thereby, adding the value from the course with respect to the enrichment of the student career perspective.
It is very important to incorparate technology into your lessons because thats what the younger students will be expecting because thats what they grew up with.
Leveraging technology for student success through the flipped classroom model is an application that many utilize today. Pre-recorded lectures organized in online platforms and additional technology-based applications create a learning environment where students take on a proactive role accessing additional resources outside of the classroom. Learning environment continues outside of the classroom. Great way to continuously build motivational strategies to engage students outside of the classroom.
It is important to let students know what is expected of them and those expectations need to be clear to the students.
Also, adjusting our teaching styles based on student preferences.
Technology can enhance a lesson if used properly.
