Chapter six discusses a word that has been thrown at me my whole life. Curriculum is explained as knowledge, skills, and performance that a student is expected to understand and display at particular grade levels. Integrating technology using computer software is constantly used in schools to enhance the learning process. These tools can help students and educators to meet curriculum goals that are needed to move on to the next level. Before teaching a subject though, educators must have a plan for delivering the instruction. The ASSURE Model is a guide for doing just that. The model states that teachers must know their student’s skill level, the objectives they expect the student will be able to demonstrate at the end of instruction and the methods, media, and materials that will be used to instruct the students. Teachers must then utilize their plans and encourage active learning. Every teacher is different and educates in a different manner. Understanding a variety of educational theories that stem from some of the best psychologist, such as one of my favorites, B.F. Skinner, can help teachers to narrow down the most effective way to teach a class of many different skill levels and personalities.
I seem to be continuing to figure out that I don’t know as much as I thought about technology. I’ve still be working on learning power point better so I can create great, rather than decent, presentations for school and later as a teacher. I started working on Excel and am confused sometimes with everything that can be done on that program, though I really like it. It will be especially helpful during college and my future as a teacher to present information in an organized fashion.
Ok, well I’m not looking for to working my double this week, but I know I have to make the money. All my expenses are beginning to stress me out and I’m starting to realize I really need to learn to be more frugal.
