Empowered learner

Students leverage technology to take an active role

in choosing, achieving and demonstrating
competency in their learning goals, informed by
the learning sciences.
Articulate and set personal learning goals, develop strategies
leveraging technology to achieve them and reflect on the
learning process itself to improve learning outcomes

Whoos Reading: A great app for setting goals,

Toodledo: Students can create lists
and share them with friends, myself, or
family, helping them stay accountable
to their goals. They can also create a
hotlist of the most important goals
and record notes about their progress,
ideas they have, and more. This tool
also offers a scheduler, and students
can set reminders and view all goals
on a calendar.
especially class goals! Once students are added, you
can set goals for each individual student, the whole
class or groups. For example: You can create a group
for your advanced readers, with a high goal, allowing
them to stay challenged. Each group is labeled so you
can easily log in and see whos meeting their goals
and whos not. Students can track their goals as well,
motivating them to read more and reach them. Finally,
you can set goals in one of two formats: minutes or
books read; you decide.

Reflection

What standard to you feel will be the easiest of you to incorporate into your curriculum and why?

Creative communicator I feel would be the easiest to incorporate into my

kindergarten classroom. Group work, practicing certain responsibilities is
key for young learners to know and understand for the future.

What standard do you feel will be a challenge for you and why?

Computational thinker I feel would be a challenge to incorporate in my

classroom & learning environment. Collecting data, critical thinking using
technology and organization may be a challenge for younger students.
