Wise Integration of Technology

The two technological frameworks that I chose to look into for a further understanding of wise integration of technology were the RAT framework and the Triple E framework.

The RAT framework stands for Replacement, Amplification, and Transformation. The Replacement step refers to replacing a form of instruction that is not currently using technology. Amplification refers to the idea that if a form of technology is being used, then the technology must amplify the learning ability for students. Lastly, Transformation refers to the idea that the technology being used is able to accomplish something that an instruction without the technology couldn't. The RAT framework emphasizes the idea that using technology effectively in a lesson plan implies that the technology is being progressive in the learning experience in reference to what the technology is replacing and that it allows more freedoms during a lesson plan than the previously used lesson plan.

The Triple E framework refers to Engagement, Enhancement, and Extension. Engagement allows students to become more active learners as opposed to passive learners. Enhancement allows students to have a deeper understanding of content material through scaffolding. Lastly, Extension allows students to interact with content material outside of the classroom through exploration. The Triple E framework emphasizes the ability to have content material reach a wider audience in the classroom by having students create a greater interest in the content through an engaging medium.

After becoming familiar with the RAT and Triple E frameworks, I can see why these frameworks are effective. The RAT framework does a great job emphasizing that to have an effective lesson with technology, the technology must be able to accomplish a goal that a separate instruction that doesn't use the technology can't. The Triple E framework does a great job with emphasizing reaching a wider audience with technology and expanding on the  access to content outside of the classroom. Both frameworks have enhanced my understanding of how to create a more efficient and effective lesson plan.

Not the End, but a New Appreciation

My Initial 3 Goals The first of my three goals this semester was inspired by my wife and I’s wedding. We regret a few of our choices when it came to documenting memories, such as videos or a full-time photographer (our main photographer was in the wedding and the backup was not as good). So, what I did is I learned how to use Movie Maker Video Editor and I made a slideshow of photos from our wedding and set the music we used to the photos as if the slideshow played through our special day. The video provided is the final project of what I learned from Movie Maker Video Editor. This project not only helped me create something fun for my wife and I, but it also played a big role for my CIP project.     The second of my three goals was to find some time this semester for myself to complete a game that I  bought a long time ago. Ghost of Tsushima has been said to be a phenomenal game and I would agree. By setting some time aside for myself to complete this game each week, I was able t

Emerging Trends in Education

The emerging trends in education are led by the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in classroom materials. AI is being used as a tool for both educators and students to enhance their educational experience together. For teachers, AI is being used as a tool for creating classroom materials and for students, AI is being used as an “outside of the classroom” support system. By seeing the positive outcomes that AI can do to enhance the educational experience in society, it is hard to argue why AI shouldn’t be embraced in the educational setting.   The emerging trends in education are reshaping the culture of learning by providing learners with a support tool. Learners can use AI as an on-demand tutoring service to help understand concepts in education. AI has become so vastly improved in the last few years that AI has become well versed in all education subjects and has become a great real-time tool for students to access support in their studies. Another use that students can use AI
