Computers in Elementary School Classrooms Technology has influenced many aspects of life, but I think that it has influenced education the most. I am going to be an elementary teacher after I graduate, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to learn how computers will help me to teach. I will be focusing on how technology influences the development of young children. Today the computer has worked its way into the classrooms of our elementary schools. To some this may seem a
think college classrooms and high school classrooms are the same because they have the primary structures of a classroom, and both of them are considered to be a learning environment, the truth is they do not contain as much similarities as people may think such as appearance, classroom sizes and the age difference. People have a conception that all classrooms should look the same, although in college the situation changes. Have you ever had the opportunity to look at both classrooms? If yes, then
After observing two consecutive days in Mrs. Flinn’s fourth grade classroom at Boone Central Elementary, it was interesting to compare and contrast the two different checklists. The checklists were very similar. On both days, descriptive praise was given, positive engagement was occurring, schedules and routines were posted/reviewed, transition strategies were utilized, and class rules were posted/reviewed. There were three categories that differed a little bit overall: predicable routines, teaching
I observed a fourth grade classroom at Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy. During my observation I noticed all of the different items such as student work and posters posted throughout the classroom. I arrived at the school at one o’clock which is typically little after lunch and the time of the day when the schools day is slowing coming to an end. During my arrival time the class was on there way up to the classroom. Once we all got into the classroom, the students had to break off into
According to Ambrose et al (2010), classroom climate is the “intellectual, social, emotional and physical environment in which our students learn” (Ambrose et al, 2010, p.170). Classroom climate is established by the various interacting factors that comprise teacher-student interaction, student-student interaction, the tone the teacher uses in class, and the way the content is delivered in class. The concept of classroom climate absorbs the idea to establish and maintain a positive context that
Northwestern High School is where I observed a co-ed English class. There were two teachers working together within the classroom. The teacher’s educational goals for their classes were to improve students reading and writing. Both teaching methods were effective as they both stood up in front of the class and lectured while also having class discussion. Instructional technology was big in the classroom and helping with the lesson. I always want to incorporate technology because it makes learning
the teacher in the classroom is, on how they handle or manage their class. Like disruptive talking, chronic avoidance of work, clowning, interfering with teaching activities, harassing classmates, verbal insult, defiance and hostility, ranging from infrequent, mild to severe is a student misbehaviour inside the classroom. These disturbing behaviours in the classroom are intolerable and stress-provoking, and they had to spend a great deal of time and energy to manage the classroom according to the report
Why Our District Should Not Have Single Gender Classrooms If our school district has our classrooms becomes Single Gender classrooms all students that go through our schools will not have all the social skills that a student's youth is supposed to give them. Although the opposite gender can be a distractor in class, I do not believe we should have single gender classrooms in our district because Co-ed classrooms prepare students for the real world, Create social skills for both genders, and running

The guide provides information on how to identify specific problem behaviors. It describes how to modify a student’s environment to support positive behavior. It offers teaching techniques to promote and reinforce good behavior.

Trends And Issues Related To Technology Integration The use of computers in school classrooms has evolved throughout the years, and has become revolutionary in changing the way we teach and learn. Our classrooms should no longer be confined to four walls and a few teachers who are considered to be experts in knowledge. Our classrooms need to keep up with a changing society and a new world that is dependent on technology. As students graduate, they need the technological skills needed to thrive
stylistic ways of portraying Romeo and Juliet, and the two most popular film versions portray two very different styles of this one play. Zeferelli's Romeo and Juliet was made in the 1970s, and is the film version most commonly shown in high school classrooms. The newest film version of this play is Baz Luhrmanns Romeo and Juliet. This version sets the classic story in a modern day setting. Both versions, while different stylistically, hold true to the basic story line of the play. Zeferelli’s
programme, I have been helping out in the homework club of an inner city primary school, one hour per week for the past twelve weeks. All in all I think I it was a very interesting experience and very beneficial in terms of my learning as a teacher. I had a number of valuable experiences and below are two of the most important in my opinion. Reflection 1: Critical Incidence of Learning 1 On one of my first days of school placement I learned the importance of teachers having good questioning skills.
For several years, teachers have been struggling to keep their students focused in class. In more current times, this problem is brought to light again, as NEASC visits Staples High school.. Perhaps the biggest problem, is students leaving multiple times in every class, to go to the bathroom. This disrupts class time, and has negative effects on the student 's education, as they miss material while they leave class. It is in our nature to pee involuntarily, since the day we are born. We are mammals
Inclusion in the Public School Classroom What do we do with children with disabilities in the public school? Do we include them in the general education class with the “regular” learning population or do we separate them to learn in a special environment more suited to their needs? The problem is many people have argued what is most effective, full inclusion where students with all ranges of disabilities are included in regular education classes for the entire day, or partial inclusion where children
sample of my beliefs about classroom management and how I would use my beliefs in my ideal classroom someday. The beliefs I have on classroom management have developed over a period of classroom observations and also from my Classroom Management course at Manchester College. In this document I have laid out what my personal beliefs are with classroom management, my top ten beliefs on classroom management, the routines and procedures to be implemented into my classroom, how I plan on implementing
or flipped classroom? When most people hear about the flipped class all they think about are the videos. Jonathan Gergmann and Aaron Sam, proponents of the flipped classroom, in The Flipped Class Manifest define it the following way: “In most Flipped Classrooms, there is an active and intentional transfer of some of the information delivery to outside of the classroom with the goal of freeing up time to make better use of the face-to-face interaction in school.” The flipped classroom is NOT a synonym
saying that our classroom practices will also be revolutionized. In order to successfully prepare a student to enter in to the world outside of high school we must prepare them for the realities that they will encounter. Rotherham & Willingham (2009) state, “… the skills students need in the 21st century are not new” (p.352). Critical thinking, problem solving, the “mastery of different kinds of knowledge”, and multifaceted analysis are all skills that originated with the traditional school setting (p
Classroom management is critical when in an educational classroom environment that involves all students. My main goal is to have a safe and inviting classroom environment that students feel comfortable and allow them to reach their full potential and be successful. I believe that students need to be taught self-discipline like Gordon’s Theory (57). When you impose self-discipline, you must be able to correct students in order to students to demonstrate appropriate behavior. Whereas when you teach
