The SAMR Model

 

SAMR Drawing it all together

Write a reflection that draws together Blooms Taxonomy, your understanding of ICT pedagogy and the SAMR model as it relates to your teaching context. 


Rather than think about what you have experienced in schools, try to take an aspirational position on this reflection. Examine not what currently exists, but what is possible.
This will become the foundation of your own pedagogical framework which will later be mapped against a learning design.


As a future secondary schooling educator, I aspire to create a comfortable environment in which students can actively learn and expand their knowledge. I believe it is important that in this space students are able to work independently while still feeling supported as well as clearly understanding how the skills learnt in a classroom will correlate into the real world. As a result of Blooms Taxonomy and the critical steps of higher-order thinking, I aspire for students to confidently practice their problem solving skills and demonstrate their ability to apply such skills through the learning material. I believe this is only further enhanced by ICT's in the classroom, as they grant students the ability to work independently or collaboratively while problem solving and putting real world skills into practice.

Reflection Three - Presentations

Image
As a future educator, it is vital that I am capable of catering the learning material to all forms of learners. The use of presentations in the classroom are a great way to ensure that all students are being accommodated for. Google Slides is the most recent presentations platform that I have interacted with. Google Slides is a power point creation platform that allows one to insert images, text, gifs and videos into a presentation. Presentations allow an educator to engage their students while providing learning material integrated into a variety of forms that Google Slides caters for. I have had very little experience with Google Slides despite its popularity. I have interacted with Google Slides once or twice during my time in high school, but predominately opted for Microsoft Power Point due to more experience with that particular platform. I found Google Slides extremely easy to navigate, I particularly found the customise-able templates for the slides very useful, these are extre...

Q and A (Week 2)

  Pedagogical Principles What are the Pedagogical Principles (defined in the Learning Materials)? 1) Facilitating deep knowledge through higher-order thinking. 2)Facilitating collaborative learning in which conversations are important. 3) Supporting students in knowing how they learn best. 4) Planning learning that is problem-based, and situated in real-life contexts. 5) Is relevant to students, and connects to their background knowledge. 6) Supports learning that is owned, controlled and managed by students themselves. 7) Is socially supportive, engaging, and values cultural knowledge 8) Is supportive of the development of active citizenship, and strong group identity. What do the Pedagogocial Principles mean to you in common language? I believe that Pedagogical Principles are an effective scaffold and guide for teachers to subscribe to. This scaffold creates an efficient and suitable learning environment allowing students to absorb the content taught within lessons. I also believ...

LEGAL, SAFE, AND ETHICAL PRACTICE

  Legal, safe and ethical practice and what it means for you What are the dimensions of legal, safe and ethical practice outlined in the Australian Curriculum: ICT as a General Capability? To recognise intellectual property. To apply digital information. To apply personal security protocols. To Identify the impacts of ICT in society. What will you need to consider in your curriculum learning areas? Most importantly I will need to consider the safety of my students online. I will need to consider that my students are responsibly using ICT's e.g. activity respectfully towards themselves and others online. I will ensure that my students clearly understand the importance of referencing information that is not of their own property. Finally, I will keep an open mind to both the negative and positive effects that ICT's in the classroom have on my students.
