M15 The integration of the wii found in the interesting ways web resource was a great idea of incorporating math lessons and sequences with the bowling game. The webtools page has a plethora of resources for all occasions and learning types. This is beyond necessary. #cit602

@reena5770 Which enable new learning spaces for the student as well as the instructor.

@reena5770 definitely a different way of thinking when trying to utilize tech within the curriculum and in the classroom setting. I think we should be comfortable with never becoming experts due to soft/hardwares changing but willing adapters/adopters/facilitators of tech

M14 it was inspiring to see the amount of successful learners with disabilities utilizing assistive technology. It is crucial to be able to identify which devices utilize their abilities physically and mentally in order to effectively comprehend, communicate and master.#cit602

@Francis96600393 It is definitely our responsibility to know the technology that is appropriate in all situations and learning environments. Its also a responsibility to properly identify disabilities early so that students will be able to become accustomed to master the technology.#cit602

... students can think, create and explore. Technology is to be implemented in our curriculum;thus, our job as educators is to know as much about it so that we can have the right tools to aid in the education of our students as there are advances that can benefi them. #cit602

@amandad87019027 I highly agree with your statement. It is also essential for students to learn how to give proper credit and avoid things like copyright infringement upon content they are sharing. Those lawsuits mentioned in the music industry affected a very young age group. #cit602

It is very important for teachers to abide by copyright laws, because I think it sets an example to students to always give credit where credit it due. #cit602

M13 copyright and fair use issues in the classroom is an extremely important aspect when creating content. It is crucial to note the amount and limitations of content teachers can use. Creative commons is a great resource to utilize when searching content. #cit602

@BaldomeroCoron3 @unlvpg I also liked that analogy made in the video. The emphasis and control truly rely on the driver of the technology which is indeed the human mind. I also agree that coding enables students to see an applicable perspective in problem solving. #cit602

M10 Coding to learn was a powerful concept. The misconception that the new age are literate in technology but the majority are actually just users being able to read and use interfaces but not able to write in the universal language which enables endless possibilities. #cit602

@amandad87019027 I agree with your standpoint especially when it comes to math games. With the timed aspect of it and it portraying as a quiz really doesnt give students an incentive to want to play or navigate the site. Thanks for your honest review. We might as well drill and kill. #cit602

#cit602 maths quiz is a game where you answer questions against the clock and get a grade at the end. This helps students process math quicker and it is able to give a letter grade at the end. I did not like this because I don’t think it is suitable for a

M9 Free Training Tutorial Free-training-tutorial.Com Games on various math subjects There are great games on place values and fractions on this site. FISHY Fractions is interactive and challenging although did not view well on a desktop. Would recommend for algebra section. #cit602

@reena5770 Wonderful! Thank you so much Reena!

@JonPenas Sorry JP just saw this and filled it now.

#cit602 Please fill my Survey: Getting to know you docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@SciasciM @unlvpg Just submitted. Can you please fill my survey out? Thanks. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@jcflores630 just submitted if you could fill out mine as well. It is much appreciated. goo.gl/forms/tfmsoEoI… thanks

Here is my survey... docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #cit602

M7 It's definitely important to incorporate the aspect of digital story telling. Students need to not only be consumers of content but the producers and creators as well. It's not only engaging but it also gives students the opportunity to be creative and articulate. #cit602

Hello all in #cit602 Please take the time to fill out this short survey. Your responses are greatly appreciated. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@reena5770 I agree with your stance on hitting all interests/autonomy when it comes to learning mathematics. My focus is to change the attiude on learning in general to see mroe engagement. It can be difficult making real-world connections with some of the standards being so cemented#cit602

Module 5- Interesting to know that the what’s, the how’s, and the why’s are processed by three different parts of the brain. I’d love to let students explore their own interests and autonomy while learning algebra but can I? 9 months just isn’t enough to hit all standards #cit602

M5 The concept of udl encompasses differentiated learning to meet the learning abilities of students in the classroom. If it is utilized effective forms of assessment are deployed which can be broken into assessment strands to accurately measure cognitive abilities #Cit602

@unlvpg Other than understanding and being able to maneuver UI's and utilize applications for business purposes or personal gain, should the goal also be knowing the true makeups of software and hardware in regrads for probing innovation? #cit602

@JonPenas Good thought Jon. The big risk I see is assuming students know tech, just because we live in a digital age. That assumption could lead to weakened training, poor preparation, or wildly unrealistic expectations. #cit602

M2 It's an overwhelming realization that 21st century learners must master skillsets and information beyond the core curriculum. Current educators play a vital role in employing learning activities that spark discovery, creation & innovation. Tech is the golden platform. #cit602
