Mobile Technology Platform Challenge Submission Here is a quick look at how we will use the Acers at school to apply learning skills that will prepare us for the future!
Slide 3:
Aspire:
Technology helps me set creative goals and strive to do my BEST!! Authentic Learning:Outcome Based projects/electronic portfolios. Achieve:
Success for all with the ability to differentiate instruction and assessment. Apply:
Apply the skills I learn in computer lab to real projects and presentations. Analyze: The Internet and safe search engines let me gather facts on my level so I can draw conclusions and ask more questions. Activities:The internet has wonderful links and resources like Thinkfinity and Webquests . Actively Involve:
Hands-on/ Minds-on creativity! a
Slide 4:
Communication:
My parents, grandparents and others can see my work and I can work with my classmates. Create:
We can make our own presentations, graphic organizers and work on projects online. Collaborate:
The Acer helps us to talk/chat with others so we can succeed socially and academically. Complements Current Curriculum:
We do not have to reinvent the wheel- the Acers just make it better!! Curiosity:
Inspires me to take risks while I learn new technical skills. Cultural Literacy & Awareness:
Let’s me Skype or email (epals) and interact globally. Coach:
Let’s us participate in student-centered lessons with my teacher as a facilitator. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: Where we can search for answers and evaluate the facts. c
Slide 5:
Engage:
What I do I retain in my long term memory. With the Acer I am engaged in activities that “inspire” and motivate me ! Explore:
A place to search for answers and organize my ideas while I learn. Evaluate:
My teacher can give me constructive feedback when we use outcome based projects Expression:
I can engage in online research digging deeper beyond the facts in my book. Then I can create my own unique materials with my data and pictures. Effective Written Work:Where I can write and learn to speak digitally . Enrich:
We love the simulations online, interactive learning sites and with the Acers we can create our own projects. Excite:
Let’s me take my learning outside the four walls of our classroom and share all the neat things I am learning. Etiquette:
Where I can learn and practice digital citizenship. e
Slide 6:
Research:Let’s me have research driven lessons and not just text book driven instruction. Responsible:
Puts me in the drivers seat where I am involved and responsible for my learning and then able to share it with others everywhere that there is an Internet connection. Resources:
My teachers and school have awesome websites. The Acers will let me access them and help me to acquire the digital literacy I need to become a life-long learner. Rejuvenate:
Now your talking. When I walk into school I do not want to be taught the way my grandmother was taught. Technology is meaningful to me ! It motivates my learning and makes me want to come to school! Real Life/ Real World:
Technology is everywhere. It is what I like and understand. I can work with on-line tools and simulations like LEGO and other tools. r
Slide 7:
THANK You again for the Opportunity to apply for your grant! The
Acers address the skills in the NETS-S and Missouri’s Information & Communication Goals We love working on the computers and appreciate your considering us for your grant! Our state requires we take a Technology Test in 8th grade. The Acers will help me to be prepared to succeed on the test and with all my digital assignments. This grant will help to meet the needs in the district. We have one lab and many many students who would like to use computers. Technology prepares us for the future. acer
