Given that the current generation has grown up with technology as a integrated part of their lives, it's important to make an effort to include it in daily instruction. With the technology available, students have multiple opportunities to enhance their learning.
Showing students how to integrate AI into the classroom has become beneficial to me. In addition, I would like to try a flipped classroom, but many students wouldn't come to class prepared.
I learned that the Alpha Generation relies much more on technology than other generations. I think using gamification concepts will greatly increase engagement.
I already use gamification for test reviews, but I like the idea of using them as more of an exit ticket. The students see it as a fun game, and I would be getting better data to see just how well the concepts were mastered.
A flipped classroom was the most interesting thing I learned in this module. Initially being exposed to something at home and doing assignments in class sounds like a good idea to me. I can see how it could go off the rails if someone learns it wrong initially, but I would hope for adult learners they would be close to the right path. Not sure if it will be applicable for me to apply but maybe in someways.
Students need to understand what is expected of them. I also learned that there must be some form of technology incorporated into the classroom in order for this generation of childeren to succeed. I will also try to use more interactive tools for teaching and take more breaks during my lecture.
technology is always welcomed in the class room , however, we need to be careful on how to use the technology. Some students can take advantage on that, but some students still need traditional books.
I plan to continue incorporating tools such as Canvas, virtual simulations, and interactive learning resources to make complex Anatomy and Physiology concepts more accessible and engaging for students. Technology can help create a more interactive learning environment while supporting different learning styles.
I can relate to this module. I am a Gen-X I didn't grow up with computers or cell phones. The world is now digital, and with the advent of AI technology, staying current requires adapting to the times in which we live. Flexibility in the concepts we bring to teaching is critical in todays fast paced world.
I learned about an effective classroom management approach is to provide students with as many choices as possible. So, they can practice to make decisions.
I learned that technology in education is more prevalent than ever before. I learned related unfamiliar learning terms, but they're not too complicated. I will learn and use whatever technology is available to add variety in learning. I will also be attuned to younger students reduced attention spans.
Now I liked this segment of training. Even though I am a Baby Boomer who learned the old fashion way from the beginning, of time. I like the idea of hybrid learning. It is smart learning that allows the students to feel empowered to on learning. Wish they had that kind of training when I was in school!
Give students more choices on what assignments to do. This would help them feel in control of their learning.
Technology is most effective when it supports learning and student engagement rather than being used just for its own sake. As a culinary teacher, I plan to use videos, digital recipes, and online demonstrations to reinforce hands-on skills and keep students engaged.
Wow, great module. While much of the content is stuff I already do, I'm learning how much I have forgotten now that I am in a routine. It is time to shake things up by giving the students more choices. I can use AI to gain multiple questions and multiple student product ideas, rubrics, and examples for Learning Quests. I am excited about rewarding students for turning assignments early and on time. I use class time to allow scholars to complete flash cards with the vocabulary word, its definition and the definition in their own words and draw an icon to illustrate the word. I will experiment with requiring that work to be done before class.
I am currently working in a hybrid system, with class time and online activities and discussions which I monitor. I would think a flipped would work best when the out of class portion is more of a review or background information to the activity in class. It can also be a prompt with a question that might pique someone's interest in fining out more in class.
Technology can help increase student engagement and help to make the lesson relatable to real life.
I found that letting the students have some control of their learning is important. The flipped classroom method is a great way to keep students engaged and accountable for a part of their learning.
Student engagement through the use of technology, flipping the classroom and giving choices to students will increase understanding through varied learning opportunities.
