NETS-T Standard 1
Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:
a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness.
b. engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems
using digital tools and resources.
c. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students'
conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes.
d. model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students,
colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.
Reflections and Artifacts:
NETS –T1 allows educators to incorporate lessons into the curriculum which allow students to show their creativity while still learning what they need to learn.
Biographical Photo Story
This is a project created by my students in my level 3 ESL discussion/phonology course (ESL 086). I asked students to create a biography using photos and speech.
They talk about their past, present and future using the correct grammar, vocabulary, and adding personal pictures to their project. I find that students love this project. It allows them to talk about themselves, their accomplishments, their goals, and their family and friends. They can also be creative by adding music, editing shifts from picture to picture as well as the timing. Artistic students can add slides of their own work or perhaps music of their own composition. Students are encouraged to upload their videos to YouTube for family and friends to see.
This is a great project which allows students to be creative, incorporates technology into the classroom,
while demonstrating their spoken English skills.
Six Sounds Project
The Six-Sounds Projects is a project I created for one of my courses at NJCU, EDTC 624 – Technology in the English/Language Arts Curriculum. In this project, I incorporated free sound files from the internet into a story using Audacity. In ESL, students can do this same project creating a story based on sounds provided to them.
Digital Pronunciation Evaluation
In my beginning ESL pronunciation course (ESL 071), students study individual sounds. Students are then given a reading to record which includes the target sounds. They record this using Audacity and then upload to Campus Cruiser, a course management system. Students can listen to themselves and self-correct; additionally, when I return an evaluation of their recording, they can listen again and notice the errors which I have pointed out.
