Week 3 Infograph

 https://create.piktochart.com/output/52193578-my-visual




    In the infographic above, I addressed the 3 main points of chapter 5 in How People Learn ( NASEM 2018).  These three ways are retrieval practices, spaced practice and interleaved practice.  All three points concentrate on the best way to aid students with the recall and retention of information.  I tied the three main ideas with Gura's idea of creativity (Gura, 2016).  Gura believes that creativity aids in retention and belongs in all classrooms.  I also tied ISTE standard 6a to this assignment by listing several different technology tools that can be utilized to aid in the retention of content.
I learned quite a bit this week.  I love the idea of having students learn the curriculum by exploring multiple avenues.  In my content area, I think that a great assignment that would incorporate all of these aspects would be: having students read a passage from The Grapes of Wrath.  After having the students read the passage, they can break into groups so that they can use google docs to write the passage as a script.  After the script is complete, then they can use a video app to record the group preforming the script in a short film.  The films can then be uploaded to youtube and shared with the rest of the class.
By having the same material presented to the students multiple times in different formats, as well as having them use creative measures, the goal would be for them to then have mastered the passage that was originally presented to them.

    Hi Gina,

    I thought your lesson plan was unique and engaging! Having multiple avenues can test a wide variety of skill sand retention/ comprehension and hopefully grab all student's interest! Nice work!

    I thought your infograph looked very professional and well organized. I really related to retrieval skills and the app Anki you spoke of because I used and app in my undergrad that I could create flash cards on. I also like Quizlet on how you can create your own flashcards on there and even create your own tests to become a better test taker and reduce anxiety.

    Hi Gina,
    Your infographic is attractive and informative. You have created it in a way that breaks down the needed information in a colorful and easy to read format. I especially appreciate your “Try” and “Recommended” blue sections. Very well done!

    Your infographic is professional looking and eye-catching. My favorite part of it is the sections named try these tools and recommended practices. These will give students an exact, concise way to apply the knowledge they learned from the infographic. Without those sections, students may read over the content but struggle with the application of it. Great job!

WEEK 2

I.     Authentic Intellectual Work involves the original application of knowledge and is NOT the routine use of facts and procedures. The main difference is that most traditional methods involve rote memorization and recall of facts.  AIW revolves around building knowledge through critical thinking. It is comprised of three main component s according to creators (Newmann, F.M., King, M.B., and Carmichael, D.L. 2007).  Those three components are construction of knowledge, disciplined inquiry, and value beyond school.     Construction of knowledge is using things that the students have learned before to solve new problems. In essence it is increasing knowledge by building off of past experiences.     Disciplined inquiry itself contains three main components. prior knowledge (knowledge that is normally gained through a variety of experiences and basic knowledge), in depth understanding (what the student develops as they look for key facts and concept...

Week 5

  Part 1 This week’s reading covered Universal Design for Learning:Guidlines for Accessible Online Instruction (Rogers-Shaw, C., Carr-Chellman, D.d., &Choi 2018).  There were several things that really stuck out to me and connected to the lesson that I am currently working on.   The first connection was the Goldilocks metaphor (Edyburn 2010).  This tied learning to the classic children’s story. Learners need to try multiple avenues until they find the one that works best for them.  Sometimes they need to try several different ones until they find the “just right” one.  In my lesson plan, I present the materials several different ways.  The students will be able to watch exercises stressing proper throwing mechanics, they will have the opportunity to listen to a subject matter expert speak about the importance of and some exercises stressing proper throwing and mechanics, and thirdly they will be presented with a handout that shows in graphic...
