Journal 1 NETS-T 4


Green, T, Donovan, L, & Bass, K. (2010). Taking laptops school wide: a professional learning community approach. Learning and Leading with Technology, 38(1), Retrieved from https://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Publications/LL/LLIssues/Volume3820102011/August_No_1_3/L_L_August_2010.htm 



Standard
I believe that this fulfills NETS-T standard 4 b. If there were one to one laptops for students then all the students would have the ability to use learner-centered strategies in the classroom. THe students would all have equal access to digital tools and resources

 Summary

The first journal is “Taking laptops school wide: a professional learning community approach” by Tim Green, Loretta Donovan, and Kim Bass. The article talks about the four tools to integrating technology successfully into the classrooms which are first progression of use, second school climate, third communication and fourth collaboration.

What kind of programs could I integrate into the classroom?

I always think math is such an important subject for children to feel confident in and if parents were able to see the exact types of problems their children were having problems with or if the children were able to get immediate feedback as to how they did the problem wrong and the correct way or a correct example then I think that would be very beneficial. Also by doing it through the computer it may be quicker feedback to me as the teacher.

How could I help the students’ parents benefit from this?

I think parents could benefit from the above programs if there was a way for the parents to also see their childs performance in the classroom so they could easily see where the child needed extra help outside of the home. Also I think parents would appreciate the ability to check notes from the teacher and assignments all posted online through a blog. If children posted on it during school and parents later had access to it through their own computers I think it could make communication between parent, child, and teacher much easier.
