Watch 4:10-5:30. Very helpful and applicable to the classroom and how the multi-generational age gap plays a role in common misconceptions.

It is fascinating how introducing more technology into the classroom can actually facilitate scaffolding and collaboration between peer groups.

"Internet Inquiry is a perfect vehicle for helping your students think critically and carefully. Students have so many questions about the world around them and there are so many resources on the Internet to engage them."

After watching this video, it became clear to me that the teacher truly thought the students were capable of completing the task on their own. By encouraging the students, he was able to provide them with support on his end, as well as foster a sense of trust and reliance upon their classmates.

Helpful video on this site about how to conduct research online.

It is interesting to see these programs in action. Students are amazed at the skills of their peers! It gives students a confidence boost in themselves and their classmates!

This quote is everything that teachers need to see in order to be persuaded to implement internet inquiry into the classroom.

Very helpful hint for teachers who feel like they are at a loss for how to implement internet inquiry into the classroom.

It also helps students implement these skills in the real world!

I love the idea of communication between peers. This is key to scaffolding and socialization skills.

By allowing students to generate their own questions and ideas, students will work harder to find answers for them. It sparks personal interest within the classroom setting.

It is amazing to see students taking on social issues based off of what they have learned within the classroom.

Teachers often teach as if students already know these skills. However, it is my experience that students struggle with these skills more than any others.

Students will learn how to work together to solve problems, as well as work on important social skills within the classroom.

I love the phrase "toolkit." It is essential for a teacher to have his/her own toolkit to help benefit their students and enhance their lesson plans.

This chart really helped me to understand the impact of TPACK and how each aspect of knowledge can work together to create a greater purpose.

There are so many types of technology and internet resources that are beneficial to students and teachers, alike.

Although times are changing and the age of technology is upon us educators, we should use technology to our advantage instead of being worried and overwhelmed.

This can be done in the classroom utilizing online strategies. Teachers could create chat rooms for students on a certain subject or even ask students to create social media sites for historic figures.

Very important for teachers, students, and adults in all fields to communicate and grow online.

Students develop an interest in subjects when their teachers take the time to understand what motivates them.

This is critical for all students in all subject areas. A great way for students to get involved and stay motivated in school is to encourage their interests.

Connected learning helps students to build relationships over common interests and needs. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to build relationships online.

Teaching for understanding/transfer of information.

UbD is an exceptional way for students to learn about material by doing. Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe focus on "starting with the end in mind."

http://www.todd-finley.com/2017/10/01/facilitate-student-centered-instruction/ Great resource on how to facilitate student-centered instruction. It shows creative ways for students to be active instead of passive within their own education.

Interesting concept and diagram by Daniel Churchill created to delineate how schools/educators should incorporate technology into the "new" literacy language.

This is extremely valid. Students are more skilled with technology and electronics than they are reading a book. However, both are forms of literacy; they're just expressed through different mediums and platforms.

Essential questions help to guide the students and teacher along their path to understanding. In this UbD framework, essential questions would play a hug role.

As a social studies and math teacher, it is integral that students develop their problem-solving skills in order to learn about material both in class and in their lives.

Skills that were previously learned by students in a real world situation are now capable of being transmitted to the internet. It is critical that people that also transfer their skill sets to the online world.

Mozilla is providing both children and adults with the opportunity to learn literacy skills in new ways. This is extremely important in regards to how technology plays a role in our world.

I'm slightly confused about the due dates. On the syllabus assignments for week 1 are due by 7/12, but on Peergrade they are due on 7/13 at 4:59 pm. Would you mind clarifying due dates? Since I am traveling, I want to make up for the time difference as best as possible!
