Integrating Technology – Task 1

Part A: Classroom Technology

1. The ethical challenge that could potentially arise within a classroom


when integrating technology is data privacy, which demands our utmost
attention and responsible use. Educators, as the custodians of a vast amount
of students’ data, utilize it when creating a personalized learning experience,
creating cause for oversight and data leak issues. (Maya, 2023)

2. A key strategy to overcome this challenge is to empower students


through teaching responsible engagement with technology. This includes
understanding the importance of safety and the potential impact of their
positive and negative actions. Establishing policies and practices that ensure
sensitive data is secure and used only for education is crucial. By taking
these proactive steps, teachers play a pivotal role in guiding students in the
ethical use of technology. This approach fosters digital literacy and
awareness among students, educating them about the potential risks and
ethical considerations associated with digital tools. Prioritizing the welfare
and privacy of students with established guidelines is crucial in this digital
era.

Part B: Technology, Topic, and Use

1. Mathematics will forever be essential. It is not just about the


fundamentals of addition/subtraction and multiplication/division in early
childhood. Hidden within those math fundamentals are building blocks that
improve memory and problem-solving skills and regulate emotions by
boosting emotional health. This is why using platforms like Khan Academy,
which offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized
learning dashboard, is crucial in our education system.

2. Students can leverage the benefits of Khan Academy to enhance their


basic math skills. This platform offers many resources, including practice
exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard. It
encourages and empowers students to study independently, providing a
customized learning experience. Students can track their progress alongside
self-paced practice and receive directions, feedback, and guidance. This
comprehensive approach fosters engagement and training, leading to high
levels of success. Moreover, it provides a detailed report on each student's
progress, enhancing the learning experience. The effectiveness of Khan
Academy in improving math skills is a testament to its value in our education
system (Dickson, 2023).

3. To assist students with questions or technical difficulties, teachers


must thoroughly understand the instructional source before letting students
start. Before student engagement, educators will create their accounts and
learn the ins and outs of the source, like where to add instruction videos,
quizzes, games, and lessons. Using the smartboard for visual clarification
and guidance, students will log in on their Chromebooks and create an
account with Khanacademy.org. Together, we will walk through how to
navigate the program. Having them initiate the startup as a class ensures
overall access. Starting a lesson with the class will show them navigation
tools and help them understand where to find homework assignments or
tasks due. I would set it up so that whenever students log into math, they
are prompted to do a timed addition/subtraction or multiplication/division
warm-up. This will be a 1 X 1 digit problem until they become proficient
enough to start 2 X 2 digit problems. Different methods, such as
manipulatives, drawing, skip counting, and drill and practice, will also be
integrated. I believe that the repetitiveness of doing quick math lets your
brain learn patterns and placement that eventually embed into your memory
and become quick knowledge references.

4. Regarding diverse learner capabilities, Khan Academy ensures that


they keep their site up to date with the most popular technologies while
utilizing personal reviews and findings. Navigate to “Settings” and click
“Accessibility,” from there, you can adjust the settings to your needs. For
the advanced learners, students will work through their grade level courses
first and then move up to the next level (algebra, trig, etc.) within the Math
topic (Dickson, 2023).

C. Assessing Students

1. To assess my student's math learning and abilities, I will use I-Ready.

2. I-Ready provides personalized learning with adaptive math support. It


becomes familiar with the student's skill set and progress and
comprehensively addresses their math and literacy skills. Grades K–8
students who use i-Ready show more significant improvements in math and
reading than those who do not. Reports provide actionable data, enabling
teachers to decide on the next steps for students (I-Ready, 2023).

3. Students can become independent I-Ready learners by building on


their prior knowledge. This, in turn, motivates the learner to take
responsibility for their learning, which can drive improved education and
increased understanding. With individualized plans, students learn to focus
on their interests, ask questions, and develop independent ideas free from
peer and teacher influences.
