Hi my name is Claire White and this is my video reflection on my technologies
topic project on the digital divide. Personally I felt that my group project
on the digital divide went very well! Going into this unit I did not know very
very much on what the Digital Divide was so having the
opportunity to develop a lesson for this unit was a great way for me
to gain more knowledge on this topic. After creating this lesson I
think that the Digital Divide is a crucial topic that all educators need
to be informed on especially with the increase of technology in the classroom
and the one-to-one initiative.
Educators also need to know how to work with
students that may be affected by the digital divide such as having Wi-Fi and
technology at school but not having Wi-Fi internet access at home.
Creating the lesson I didn't really struggle in creating an online lesson as a whole but
one part that I did struggle with was making it engaging for the student.
I did not wanted to just be a PowerPoint and having audio and having
students just have to follow along. I wanted it to be more engaging for the
students and make them want to learn more instead of just being forced to
learn about it.
Before making this lesson a pretest was given out to the class and
then a post test as it was given after the lesson.
With the exception of one
question with the pretest ,all the students had a pretty good grasp on the
digital divide as most of the questions had an over 80% of correct answers
after the lesson using the result of the post test, the percentage of the correct
answers either stayed at 80 percent or went up to be in the high 90s or at hundred
percent correctness.
there was one question however regarding the specifics of
what the digital divide was, that had about a 50 percent correct percentile so
only about 50 percent of the class was able to answer what a digital divide was
correctly.
for future lessons we could spend more time on defining what
digital divide actually is as well as giving specific samples for
students to know what what it is and how they can see it in the real world.
I think my group and I worked really well together we decided ahead of time that
we would create a Google side presentation so we all could work on it
simultaneously and on our own time as well as collaborate all at once and
have to meet up in person we could meet up online and collaborate on the group
project
before making the group presentation we delegated
specific parts to people so they would know what to be working on and no part
to be left out and everyone knew that they had a part and what they have to
get done.
we are also in constant communication throughout
making this project such as we did Zoom meetings as well as we had a group chat
that we've created for this project to kind of text back and forth about
different questions about the project.
before submitting our project we did
meet in person to make any final touches or making any tweaks to the project
overall I think my groups are really well with each other and I don't have
any frustrations with the group effort. everyone pulled their own weight no one
was doing too little work and no one was doing too much work I think we all
delegated the work really well and it was very balanced one
thing I would change for this unit would try to make it more engaging for
the student
our project was pretty basic in that it was the same format
throughout the project with very little images or other things to keep the
students engaged with the lesson
changes I would make for the future would be
trying to add more images related to the topic, less words on the slides as well
as just make the presentation more engaging and fun in general.
I think the post-test assessment could have been a very valuable source if the
same amount of students that took the pretest of the post-test.
20 students took the pretest and only about 14 took the post-test. while I did see some
improvements in the scores I don't really know how reliable this data is as
there was not the same amount of people taking the post and pretest if you do
take the percentages from the differences of the post and the pretest
from the questions given, there was an overall increase in correct answers but
again there was not the same amount of people taking
the test, so I can't really see how reliable this data is.
I did find the other groups units pretty effective and pretty interesting to watch especially
when there's both audio and words and visuals (just subtitles). I myself use both
visuals and audios to fully grasp and engage with an online unit and most of
the projects had both of these. most of the projects also were pretty engaging
and were fun to watch and listen to well it's easy to follow along
I definitely do think these units are beneficial for my future career as a
teacher. I think online learning is definitely going to be more present as
more and more technologies being implemented into the classroom as well
as classrooms are becoming more one-to-one so one technology to one
students such as iPads or Chromebooks in the classroom. I think that online
classrooms if done correctly can be very efficient
especially for students that may not be able to make it to class or that are
falling behind and need to use the lesson is kind of a refresher just keep
on track the online classroom can be really effective if it is like an actual
face-to-face lecture or a lesson recorded. if a teacher uses this online
lecture as a face-to-face lecture this student will
become more engaged as the teachers acting that this online lecture is their
actual face-to-face lecture.
if the teacher just uses it as a way to submit
a PowerPoint with visuals or with vocals the student will not engage with the
lesson and the lesson will not be effective
