CURATION TOOLS
I knew there were tools for curating but I didn't know of any. I didn't really consider some of them as being curation tools either... Through my prep for class, I learned that curation tools compile and organize the resources you find so that you can easily find them a second time. This then makes your life easier so you can find resources faster! ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: FEEDLY: a site for compiling magazines, blogs, and newspapers. Pinterest: used to find interests and compile them into folders and follow other people who pin your interests Evernote: compiling links, videos, and documents that can help you for future reference In class I learned that it is very important to use these curating tools in order to stay organized with your online resources. This changed my understanding of how I can use multiple sites to stay organized and on top of the information that I find on the internet.

S.A.M.R. ModelBefore class, I knew absolutely nothing about the SAMR model. I knew of its concepts and ideas, but I did not know there was a set model for it. Through my preparation for class I found out that SAMR is used to not only ENHANCE learning in the classroom, but also to TRANSFORM it. Additional Resources: An explanation of SAMR for teachers Instructional website on how to use iPads Introduction to SAMR in the classroom What I learned about this model in class really changed my understanding on how the SAMR model is implemented in the classroom. To completely and most effectively implement the model into your class you have to REDEFINE the way you present the lesson. To do this you have to integrate tech that can create new tasks for the learners and have these tasks test their creativity, skills, and knowledge all at once. This then redefines the lesson and transforms the way that the student takes in the new information.
Digital citizenshipI really didn't know there was a title for the concept of digital citizenship. By this I mean, I didn't know they had named the way you behave online. Before class, I thought about how I would define digital citizenship. I think of it as being a person in the online community, who respects and acknowledges the rules and manners of being on the internet. Otherwise saying that we should follow social standards and not bully or be mean to people on our computers or other devices. What I learned through my prep for class on this topic, was that digital citizenship is not a very well known idea. I think that as educators we need to enforce and educate these policies so that the future generations of internet users know how to behave while online. Here are two links about digital Citizenship I found: Digital Citizenship Videos on Digital Citizenship I learned a lot about this topic in class. What I really loved and took away from class was this image that one of the groups showed. I though it was a great way to explain digital citizenship to students in younger grades. My understanding about this topic changed throughout class because I became more aware of how crucial it is to be an honorable citizen on the internet. I don't think I was very aware of this importance, but now that I am, I am eager to teach it to children of all ages.
