The Box Teaching Tools

The use of technology in the classroom is an important tool to utilize as an educator. Technology allows for educators to have instant access to a plethora of resources that would not be available if technology was not used in the classroom. Teachers have the ability to plan lessons, create presentations, and have interactive games for students to use as a learning tool through the use of different digital devices. Modern day technology is rapidly advancing and providing teacher with many different tools to use in the classroom to enhance the students learning experience.

LEGO® helps children move from curiosity to discovery as they gain a better understanding of the culture of innovation. Failure becomes demystified as a liability and repositioned as an asset for collecting data for the purpose of scaling their ideas.

Engineering was applied by having to have precise calculations. We had to plan out the plane before even creating it. We had to use rulers and calculators in order to measure the lengths of each side on the plane and then get the area of the plane. This honed our skills

The artifact I have chosen to attach to the discussion board was CE230 unit nine project. What I learned based on that assignment was how to develop creative activities for young children from the age of five and seven. After completing the different activities with the students in this project we had to show what were the student’s objective and what leaning experience where you trying to achieve and was it accomplished with this activity. Example after completing the activity you would indicated if the student was able to follow directions. You would observe if the child was able to correctly solve the problems and it the students showed interest in the game. I recalled when I was in grade school we played Math Bingo it was fun and educational.

Society is becoming more reliant upon technology every day. Technology is found in hospitals, banks, grocery stores, homes, and schools across the nation. As technology becomes more prevalent in the classroom, teachers need to learn how to use it effectively. Differentiating instruction, facilitating learning, enhancing communication, and facilitating instruction are all appropriate ways to use technology in the classroom (Standards for Teachers). Once these types of technology are mastered, student performance, creativity, and thirst for knowledge should begin to increase.

Education in classrooms are getting a different twist these days. In order to get kids more engaged at learning, teachers are trying to figure out ways to get then interested. With a handful of technology available that can distract kids from learning, teachers are using that same technology as a tool for learning.

Zac became ill as the building phase began, leaving me to do my best without him. At first, it was difficult, but building became much smoother as time went on. Time was not on our side, but we cranked it out and got the job done. I crafted the majority of the machine, including the simple machines in them. The spiral, mousetrap, gear, tubing, car, zip ties, cardboard, wood, pegboard, dowel rods, and hot glue were all provided by me.

Besides film making, drones are being used in all manner of ways. Park Rangers are using drones to check for wildfires, electricians are using them to check on power lines, and even Amazon is using them to deliver packages. I can see the future with drones is going to be a little bumpy at first wit all the phobia and controversies from them, but I think the will start to become more vital and entertaining in our daily lives. Film makers from the entire spectrum are using drones in unique ways. CorridorDigital on YouTube are using drones to simulate something you would see out of a video game. People are getting involvd with trying to come up with laws to protect those who use drones whether recreationaly or

What are examples of devices that students may bring to school for use in the classroom?

Tinkering with toys gives students under 15 a new outlook to the possible future they can have in learning science, technology, engineering and math. LEGO robotics club provides opportunities for students to better prepare young minds for developing the skills needed in the future of STEM

Using a 3D printer as a motivator for students to be creative can be a benefit to any currirulum. As Van Epps, Huston, Sherrill, Alvar, and Bowen (2015) state “3D printing not only promotes learning but inspires creativity and fun”. One of the major goals

Drones can help keep children much safer while they are at school. With all of the school shootings here lately if I were a parent I would want to have drone campus security for sure. They can fly over and watch for threats to the students much better than one school guard can. This could also help with schools budgets, if they didn’t have to pay a security guard they could put that money to the school educational programs. Drones can also help reduce bullying incidents. When bullies see someone coming of course they are going to stop what they are doing but they won’t see a drone coming, and it can catch them red handed without them even realizing

I have had the chance to work with both lesson plans. Boxed-curriculums provide more structure for class and they save time. While making a lesson plan yourself gives you the opportunity to build a lesson around your class' needs. Some pros in Boxed-curriculums: It follow the same basic patterns every class.

In this week’s snack tools, we looked at several applications that can be used to integrate technology into your lessons to maximize student’s achievement. Some of these snack tools included Photosnack, Podsnack, Flipsnack, slidesnack, notifysnack, and educade. There are many different online tools that are available to help teachers deliver effective instruction and assessment to maximize student achievement in the classroom.

Drone technology is advancing rapidly and it is changing the way in which things are being done. Drones are widely used by many people as a hobby or for career purposes, as well as for military purposes by the United States. Drones provide the U.S military with many benefits, which helps the military to operate efficiently and in a safe manner. Businesses are utilizing this technology as well in order to make their companies run more efficiently, as well as to improve their customer service. Drone technology will positively impact our society; drastically change our culture and political system and definitely advance our economy as well as help enhance our environment.
