Hello Every One !
Topic: Stages of Technology
Today I learned something new . My teacher gave us and assignment on the stages of technology.https://prezi.com/v92blbssanme/stages-of-technology-integration-acot/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy I learned there are five stages of technology in which people can be categorized as. I didn't quite understand it the first time around but as I went over it a second time I got a better understanding.
Here w e go these are the five stages of technology
Stage One- Entry
Stage two- Adoption
Stage three-Adaptation
Stage four- Appropriation
Stage five-Innovation
Entry Stage- basically describes teachers not being comfortable with technology so they avoid using it. Stage one can be a very frustrating stage for teachers. Adoption Stage- In the adoption stage teachers may be often excited to prepare and present information but are still learning technology tools. Adaptation Stage- Teachers use technology with students in this stage. Appropriation Stage-
Is the project based learning activities that are common and students are self directed. teachers at this stage show a lot of confidence and will often seek out opportunities to bring in technology. Innovation Stage- Teachers has a choice to pick and choose. This is a stage of options. It gives students better options of technology to use.
My Teacher then asked me to think about what stage I may be at professionally and privately. I personally think I would be categorized under stage two honestly because I'm still in the process of learning how to use a lot of technology tools. I was an still am very surprised that there are 5 stages in technology integration that we all go through. I agree with the stages that are listed. I am also willing and open minded to learning more about technology to better myself as a teacher .

Active Learning
Topic: Active Learning
Last week my teacher brought up the topic active learning in class. The first thing that came to my mind was engaging in activities. I partially understood what my Instructor was saying even after the active learning group assignment we did in class http://popplet.com/app/#/3174338 . So what I did was went home and asked my father what he thought active learning because he's always one of the people I turn to when I need a better understanding about something. My Father said when he thinks about the word active learning he thinks about engaging in activities or discussions. I also called one of my coworkers who is my mentor from Ezzard CharlesDaycare http://ezzardcharlesschool.org/ .She said active learning could involve children doing hands on activities, group activities, or discussions. The last thing I did was looked up the definition of active learning and this is the definition I found athttp://www.bing.com/search?q=active+learning&form=IE10TR&src=IE10TR&pc=MAGWJS
Active learning
Active learning is a model of instruction that focuses the responsibility of learning on learners. It was popularized in the 1990s by its appearance on the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) report (Bonwell & Eison 1991). In this report they discuss a variety of methodologies for promoting "active learning".
After Looking back on the group assignment to make sure I was clear about everything, putting what my father and coworker said together . I honestly did feel a little slow because it actually was very simple an wasn't that difficult to understand after thinking about everything. But I'm happy I finally do have a full understanding about active learning.
I think all teachers should keep active learning in mind when creating lessons because it is a great way to learn students strengths and weaknesses. Active learning encourages participation in class, and is great way to keep students interested in activities. One example of active learning could be incorporating small group discussions or group activities similar to what I had to do on last Thursday in class. I learned active learning to basically be a process of learning because most student such as myself learn easier and quicker through participating in the process of learning something in class.
