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.

Participatory Culture in the Present Day

Image
Participatory culture is the idea of creating something of meaning as a group or community. On a small scale perspective, participatory culture could be something such as the passing down of a family heirloom that someone created within the family. For myself, my great grandfather was a woodworker and he made a bookshelf that has been passed down for generations with myself currently in possession. On a bigger scale, participatory culture could be a group of people that come together with similar interests and skills that are actively participating in creating and engaging with New Literacies. These groups could use types of media that interests them collectively to try and influence others such as using video making for commercials or blog entries for social media to influence political aspects in life. I can embrace the best of participatory culture into everyday practices of my classroom by allowing students to work in groups and use their media/technology strengths to present infor

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
