...Mitchell’s classroom, I asked her how she plans her lessons for her classroom, and she told me that she and the rest of the teachers at Northeast Lauderdale Middle School formally group plan once a week in a meeting of all of the sixth grade teachers, but she also said that the teachers informally discuss lesson planning in the teacher’s lounge on a daily basis. Mrs. Mitchell also mentioned that they subject plan as well, gathering all of the English teachers together and discussing what is working and what is not working. When I asked how frameworks and benchmarks are incorporated into planning, Mrs. Mitchell explained that Northeast is given a pacing guide from the school district, and the teachers are to plan accordingly so their students will have reached a certain percentile ranking by a certain time in the semester or end of the year. She expressed that they overshoot their lesson plans so if they have something happen, the students still obtain the material that is required for that grade...

Even a Fortune 500 member such as J&J operates within the bounds of the four functions of management; planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. The challenge for J&J is the same as any other major business, the continuous addressing of the internal and external factors affecting the four functions of management. Specifically the factors of globalization, technology, innovation, diversity, and ethics have on managing a business. Exploring how these factors affect the four functions of management within J&J and how the company choses to address each successfully will provide insight into the inner workings of a major corporation. Planning Simply put, planning is the management function of systematically making decisions about the goals and activities that an organization will pursue (Bateman & Snell, pp. 15-16, 2011).

...Lesson 17: Assessment in a Constructivist, Technology-Supported Learning Lesson 17: Assessment in a Constructivist, Technology-Supported Learning SUMMARY: WHAT IS ASSESSMENT? It is the process of making some evaluation; the act of assessing. WHAT IS CONSTRUCTIVIST THEORY? Constructivist theory is a theory to explain on how knowledge is constructed in the human being when information comes into contact with existing knowledge that has been developed by experiences. Constructivism as a theory of learning has existed for over one hundred years but has no been widely accepted or applied in public schools.this theory is just a posed of behavioral theory. WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY-SUPPORTED LEARNING? It is used to encourage students especially in facilitating student centered learning activities. It is more than technology enhance instruction. It recognizes that learning is supported in many different ways, even if there is no formal teaching involve. Students study and learn based on the way they are tested. The type of assessment anticipated appears to influence how and what they learn. therefore, the quickest way to change the way students learn is to change the way learning is assessed. In a technology-supported classroom, the student learns from and with the technology. Technology is seen as a source of information that the students learn from in the same way that the teacher are the source of information.. the students master facts from the concepts...

...Lesson Plan Reflection by Tori Goldrick What happened when the lesson plan was implemented: The first day of the lesson had only one main problem. We had trouble finding enough working computers for each student to work individually. This was solved simply by having the students work with their assigned partner to complete the teacher-made scavenger hunt. This part of the lesson took only about 20 minutes, which allowed plenty of time to show the class the "Basics of DNA" video, and give them time to start reading from their science books. The second day of this lesson ran very smoothly. The students were contained in the media center and all focused on the Smart Board for the presentation. This I found out was just the calm before the storm. The first day we were in the computer lab was utter chaos. There weren't enough computers working for the number of groups I had. Then not all of the working computers had FrontPage Express on them. Finally to top it all off, most of the students didn't remember to bring their instruction handout from the day before. This meant that I was going to need to do a quick review for the class on how to use FrontPage Express. This took about 30 minutes away from their work time. I think that next time I do the lesson I am going to collect their handouts when we finish in the media center, then pass them out to them once we are in the computer lab. Once we got through the first day, the second one went well. The students were actively...

...area. I am a full time, specialized one-subject teacher. I teach computers and technology to students from kindergarten to eighth grade. When I first started working in the private school sector I noticed that all of the teachers had a textbook that went with all of their subjects. Give or take all the subjects had at least a framework to start the school year and a base to map their curriculum. For me the nightmare began when the only material I was given was the Mavis Beacon typing software. After 2 weeks my students were nonetheless bored and unhappy. I started my search and to no disdain the only book that was out and worth purchasing was the Microsoft Office book that associated the software; however it was only suited for adult use and gave me no tools and foundation to build a lesson plans for the class room. The need to reconstruct My boss was very eager to revamp what was done over the past 3 years. My task was to evaluate the effectiveness of the current system and to write a proposal for the new technology program. The proposal was to include a new curriculum, classroom integration strategy, a student learning expectation research, a wish list of what we need to bring the lab up to standard and documentation. The project seemed simple, however what I thought would take a few month ended up taking a full school year. She left it up to me to choose the way we would introduce the new technology program. The school not only had computers in class but also a full functional...

...Guidelines for completing the Reflective Journal Templates Studies have shown that reflection upon one’s learning is key to a full learning experience. For this reason, you will be required to keep reflective journals as part of your professional development. There are two different Reflective Journal templates. • Workshop Reflection – to be completed after attendance of each one day of workshop • Technology Reflection – to be competed after using the technology in your work practises. Participants are required to integrate at least two new skills into their work practises after each one day of workshop attendance. How long will it take? As a rough guide, each journal entry should take approximately 20-30 minutes. You may take more or less time depending upon your time constraints and the amount of detailed information you wish to include. Feel free to add comments but the minimum requirements are included in the template. I suggest you check out the exemplars first for ideas on how to complete them. What should I write? Don’t worry about how you write. Spelling, punctuation, grammar etc are of no concern whatsoever to the program. We are trying to access experience and thoughts. Don’t worry if you discover your answers overlap or if you feel one question has already been answered in response to another. Try to write something, no matter how brief your response may be to each question. If you find that you have nothing to comment on in...
