Chapter 1 Quiz

Which teacher role shift is illustrated by the example below? Each student in a 7th-grade health class has chosen a disease he or she wants to study. Their first step in gathering information is to find three online sources and to evaluate them according to their relevance, accuracy, bias/perspective, and reliability. -Lecturer to facilitator -Fixed groupings to dynamic groupings _From explainer to intervener _From content focus to content, skills, and mindset focus -From generalist to specialist

From content focus to content, skills, and mindset focus In this scenario, the teacher is as concerned about evaluating sources--a skill--as he is about gaining knowledge about specific diseases. He has shifted from focusing solely on content, to focusing on content, skills, and mindsets.

You need to learn how to create an online poll? Which technology skill do you need to address this problem? Basic literacy LMS Educational software Media creation tools

Which teacher role shift is illustrated by the example below? Using data for his students, Mr. Richards notices that Emma understands the parts of a cell and their functions very well and has achieved mastery in that standard, but that she also struggles with mitosis. He has Emma help two students who are near mastery in cell functions. He also has her meet with him and five other students who are struggling to understand mitosis. -Lecturer to facilitator -Fixed groupings to dynamic groupings -From content to content, skills, and mindset focus -From generalist to specialist -From explainer to intervener

Fixed groupings to dynamic groupings Mr. Richards understands that Emma may be proficient in one area of understanding and not in another. Therefore, he leverages her strengths in cell structures and functions, having her help other students who are close to achieving mastery. He also has her meet with him a small group to help her understand mitosis. He has switched from fixed groupings to dynamic groupings.

Blended learning is distinct from what is often referred to as "technology integration." What does the following scenario illustrate? Scenario--Computer Lab Three students in Ms. Whitaker's 4th-grade math instruction finish their assignment. Ms. Whitaker gives them a pass to the school's computer lab, where they can go to play online games, check email, and study for other classes during the remainder of the math time. The scenario is an example of blended learning. The scenario is an example of technology integration.

The scenario is an example of technology integration. Playing a computer game might be fun, but it isn't tied to any learning outcomes. It doesn't allow children who learn faster the opportunity of either learning more about the subject, going on to other learning outcomes, or mentoring students who might be having a difficult time.

Blended learning is distinct from what is often referred to as "technology integration." What does the following scenario illustrate? Scenario--Smartboard Students in a biology course watch a simulation illustrating the four stages of mitosis on an interactive whiteboard. The scenario is an example of blended learning. The scenario is an example of technology integration.

The scenario is an example of technology integration. Watching a cell divide on the large screen of an interactive white board could be interesting, but unless other in-class activities somehow incorporated or built upon the simulation, it would be just another teacher-led way to learn about mitosis.

A common K-12 definition of blended learning includes giving students control over which of the following elements? -Time -Content -Pace -Device -Place -Path -Subject -Grade-level

Time Pace Place Path Blended learning is a purposeful blend or combination of two different instructional modalities: in-person and online. Both the online and in-person components are essential and both inform and promote the other. The two modalities are blended in a way that increases student control over time, place, pace, and/or path of instruction.

Students are presented with a series of virtual situations in which students must decide how to care for an injured person in an emergency situation. If the students don't know what to do, they can click on a help button. The computer displays a link that will take the students to pages that include criteria for treatment as well as how to do it. -Student ownership and agency -Growth orientation -Data-driven decisions -Value of online learning

Value of online learning a blended learning teacher recognizes the increased ability of the computer to increase learning through simulations, just in time learning, and immediate feedback. She is eager to allow her students to use such resources. She sees the value in online learning.

Reflect on your own dispositions and technical skills for being an effective blended teacher. List one disposition and one technical skill you see as strengths. Explain why they are strengths. Then list one disposition and one technical skill in which you feel you can improve. Describe why you want to improve and how you can improve in each one.

Your answer should include one disposition and one technical skill you see as your strengths. For example, "Having a growth mentality is one of my strengths because I like to learn and try new things, and I am not afraid of making mistakes or asking for help. Your answer should also include one disposition and one technical skill you feel you can improve in. Your answer should include an explanation of why you want to improve and a plan for improving. For example, "One skill I can improve in is using online creation tools. I'm not very good at including visual elements in my teaching, but I know using visuals increases engagement and learning. I can become better at creating and using these tools just by starting using any tool. I could learn how to use Storybird or Illustrator. I would need to make a plan for improvement and be willing to ask for help."

The 6th graders in a rural school district spread across four elementary schools are given a list of 10 novels they can read and study. 6th grade teachers in the 4 schools organize the students into groups based on the novel they have chosen.
