Scrumblr Reply

The activity would be a history lesson. Different types of presidents and how they contribute to the world. Using scrumblr would help kids learn how to use the application and also learn about topics. Remembering the quotes of these presidents, would be a lot easier than knowing what year they were in office.

sailed the Delaware
Abraham Lincoln

The learning inventory test I took was the David A. Kolb style model. It had four approaches, the concrete experience, abstract conceptualization, reflective observation, and active experimentation. My results said I was a diverger, which tends toward concrete experience and reflective observation. Divergers are imaginative and are good at coming up with ideas and seeing things from different perspectives. I am imaginative, believe in my own experience, and I'm a insight thinker. I agree with most of it, but the part where it said I was not goal orientated. The results can help me as a learner by having a very vivid imagination, and prefer working with people rather than things. As a teacher, I could create my own curriculum, and attempt to individualize instructions.
The other inventory test I took was the Myers Briggs test. It tests, am I this way because I learned it or its the just the way I am. Out of the four personality type letters, I got INFP. I am introverted, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving. Mainly, I am dominant introvert feeling. Meaning that I try to help others find joy in their self. Truly intense and passionate about my values, which I only share with trusted friends. I agree with this test the most, they seem pretty much the same. Just with a few exceptions. It can help me in the classroom, because I have good listening skills, and am a avid reader. As a teacher, it would help since I am sensitive to others and help others in any way. We try to inspire others to just be themselves. These test are pretty accurate, but not perfect. There will never be a test that can tell you 100%.

   I never really had any experience teaching with technology. As I was in High-School, the teachers taught us by using overhead projector. My senior year, I can tell there was an upgrade to the teaching with technology, they had a new overhead. It was like an ipad, you had to use a pencil-like utensil to draw or write on it.

  First of all it is necessary to pay specific attention that even nowadays many people afraid of the possible harmful effects of using new technology in the classroom. It seems that the same warnings have a place during the radio, television and cell phones inventions, but all of them greatly changed our world and have given people access to all kinds of information which can be realized into knowledge. Thus, the use of technology in the K-12 classrooms has become a contemporary necessity that all teachers should address in their preparations for lessons.



   Thus, taking everything into consideration it is necessary to state that new technologies are necessary part of teaching and learning, because they positively impact not only on student’s learning, but also on student’s development of new century skills. In conclusion, effective realization of educational technology is a first step to a prosperous future.
