DIGITAL BLOG POST #I CHAPTER 4

My first concept is understanding by design also known as backward design which is used to develop a curriculum. By using a strategy called enduring understanding teachers can help teach students lessons that will last them a life time. Enduring understanding takes place when teachers implement ideas and information that stick to the minds of the students.

 

For my second concept I chose using technology in lesson planning, this technology includes resources such as the internet. The Internet provides teachers with numerous materials that can be used to teach students many subjects. The internet can also be used to help teacher develop their lesson planning. By using website and online application teachers can increase the students learning and decrease the duration it takes teacher to prepare lesson plans. I uploaded a short YouTube video that is about a student showing you how many uses there are for technology to help you create a lesson plan. 

 

Finally I picked test assessment for my third concept, teachers use tests to help determine the students progress in the teacher’s classroom. Teachers use different forms of testing such as Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced. Norm-referenced is often used for teachers to determine a student’s score rank by comparing the student’s test scores with their classmate’s scores. Criterion-referenced is used to determine the student’s performance by comparing the student’s present score with passed score within the same subject.

For my conclusion, understanding by design or backward design can be used to develop a curricular which uses a strategy known as enduring understanding. Using technology in lesson planning uses internet resources and online applications to help teachers provide their students learn various subjects. And test assessments are used by teachers to determine the student’s progress.
