  Jared Alan Moya Module 8 - Video Discussion Thread: Reflection Enhancing Classroom Inclusion through Technology and Assistive Devices Video Transcript Looking back on this course, I have gained valuable insights and experiences that have shaped my professional goals and enhanced my understanding of technology integration in the classroom. Throughout this course, I have engaged in collaborative discussions, utilized various technology tools, and explored current trends and future possibilities in educational technology. By highlighting two or three key lessons learned, discussing the challenges faced, describing the transformation experienced, and identifying what I intend to carry forward, one can adequately reflect on the outcomes of the course.  One of the fundamental lessons I have learned during this course is the significance of purposeful technology integration in the classroom. Technology should not be used for the sake of using it but rather to enhance and enrich the...

  Module 7 - Video Discussion Thread: Assistive Technology Enhancing Classroom Inclusion through Technology and Assistive Devices Video Transcript As emphasized by Roblyer & Hughes (2016), ensuring equitable access to websites and technology is a paramount goal for educators, especially as education focuses more squarely on incorporating 21st century skills into the curriculum. As an educator in a small private international school abroad, I continuously strive to create an inclusive classroom environment by leveraging technology and assistive devices to cater to the needs of all my students, including those who struggle with English and technology proficiency. In my classroom, there are a number of practical examples of how I achieve this goal, as well as the benefits and challenges associated with implementing these tools. The increasing emphasis on social justice in education has prompted numerous researchers and practitioners to prioritize the development of educational tec...

 

  Module 6 - Web-Based Assessment Assignment   Jared Alan Moya School of Education, Liberty University EDUC 630-B08: Technology Practices for Instructional Improvement Dr. Lisa Stone  Project Description This web-based assessment is to be used in conjunction with “Essential Unit 4 (E04): Economic Decision Making: Action” of the Quality School International’s 9yo Cultural Studies curriculum (Quality Schools International, 2022). Specifically, the following The Student Wills (TSWs):  4. TSW create an argument supported by claims and evidence gathered in E01 that answers the compelling question of the unit (How can we make economic choices that have a positive impact?) 7. TSW create a product of learning that communicates their research and takes informed action. Student Differentiation One effective approach is to offer choices to students regarding the topic, format, or audience of their presentation (Tomlinson, 2017). This can empower students and foster their e...

  Technology Lesson Demonstration Assignment Educator: Jared Moya  Class: Mathematics - 9yo Student Composition:8 nationalities, 3 ELLs.  Unit: Essential Unit 10 - Geometry Lesson Objective: Formative assessment review of key terms and concepts from Essential Unit 10.  The Student Wills (TSWs):  2. TSW recognize and draw lines, rays, points, and angles with different measures. 3. TSW determine the measure of an angle using manipulatives and a protractor. 4. TSW use addition and subtraction to solve problems with unknown angle measures. 6. TSW observe characteristics of quadrilaterals and triangles and classify them. 7. TSW explore lines, the concept of symmetry and identify and draw examples. Procedure: 1. The 11 students will be divided into 5 groups.  2. Teacher will use the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) to guide students toward the leading question: Based on the TSWs on the board and what you have learned so far in Essential Unit 10 - Geometry, wh...

  Jared Alan Moya School of Education, Liberty University EDUC 630-B08-Dr. Lisa Stone Module 5 - Video Discussion Thread: Gaming  Video Transcript      Gaming offers numerous benefits that can positively impact students' learning experiences. Firstly, it has the potential to motivate and engage learners by creating a dynamic and interactive environment. As noted by Roblyer & Hughes (2023), “games have been found to profoundly engage learners and lead to learning gains in subject matter” (p. 11). By immersing students in game-based scenarios, educators can tap into their intrinsic motivation and foster a sense of excitement for learning.      Additionally, gaming facilitates collaborative learning and teamwork, as students often work together to solve problems or compete against one another (Roblyer & Hughes, 2023). This not only promotes cooperation but also enhances critical interpersonal skills (Drew, 2023). Immediate and meaningful feed...
