Examples of 21st Century Learning:
youtube.com/watch?v=P5yi8R519e4 This was a video that focused on Digital Storytelling and I enjoyed watching it. It was not necessarily a lesson being delivered, instead it was a teacher guiding you through what the lesson was and the different components of the lesson that her students were given. Students had to write out, on paper, a story they wanted to share with others, then proceed to typing their stories on a computer. After this part was completed, students had the opportunity to record their own voices as they read their writing. Students were asked to read slowly and with expression which was one of the instructional goals. They created storyboards and then used Kid Pics to recreate them digitally. The teacher also used technology; she created a file for each student with all of their pictures and audio. Students used i-movie to create their Digital Storytelling Project, as the teacher instructed them on how to use the new technology. This lesson was extended learning, considering students had written stories before, but now they were adding the digital piece. Students were fully engaged in their projects and you know they were learning because they were able to assist each other when their were questions or a peer needed help. The teacher was providing direct, explicit instruction, step by step, but students were able to take the reins and it because students centered. They began helping peers and working towards producing their own work. Students were proud of their results and eager to share their work. This is a lesson that I would be able to use in my classroom. I only get 30-45 minutes of intervention time with each group, therefore, completing this lesson would more than likely take a longer time span. teachertube.com/video/sight-word-station-see-440105 In this video Ms. Ellis is demonstrating what a lesson on the ipad or the computer would look like for her students. The students are following the lesson independently on the device. She mentions it is something they have been told they would be working on. Yet, she is delivering new material in the lesson because they are working with the new sight word, see. I now the students are learning because they are engaged/focused on using technology, and the lesson is structured with and I-do, you-do model.I was able to observe that the teacher was modeling each step at a time, then asking students to try the same things she was doing. She would demonstrate then question and she was providing an environment that was both positive and safe for students to try the different parks of the lesson. She used words such as, "I know you can do this. Great. Good job. You're awesome. You are going to be such great reader. I am proud of you." I could definitely use this lesson in my own classroom, and I think other colleagues could make good use of it as well, during our Universal access time as a May-do assignment. www.pbs.org/video/school-sleuth-case-wired-classroom-skype-classroom/

I meant that the first video was not available for viewing. However, I loved what the last video had to share. To be able to have the technology in the classroom to connect with students around the world would be an exciting way to use technology. Do you know what technology/app was used for this class to be able to connect with the class in Uganda?
