Technology in the class room is a great way to reach our students, and to help better bring our students into the learning process.
Technology has really enhanced learning for nursing students. Students are now able to work through case-based scenarios of patient care and learn clinical judgement skills in the process. From using videos to simulation mannequins the level of skills needed prior to actually performing the skill on an actual patient has increased the quality of care and safety of care given
Work based learning and understanding the changes and enhancements that technology bring is essential to CTE. As we continue to advance in processes and procedures, jobs won't just go away, they will evolve and we, as teachers must evolve along, in order to provide the best instruction for the new generations.
Students these days do not have the work drive (at least in middle school) that we did when we were younger. I like the idea of having an interview and application process, submitting quarterly reports could be like grades at terms, establishing work teams and switching throughout the class. This section really opened up a lot of ideas on how to make classes fun and still structured at the same time.
WBL has many opportunities for students at the high school level. I would like to see some opportunities at the middle school level. This is where creativity will impact the classroom more as we can simulate high school and after.
I'm stoked about the Question Formulation Technique! I've actually been searching for something like this for my inquiry projects!
project based and workplace learning environments are best for real world learning. Technology is a great way to to do learning.
I worked at a PBL school. There was a ton that was good about it, but overall, without the proper resources (which were a lot), it was very ineffective. Schools need to be outfitted with actual professionals trained in the PBL process and the money and manpower to pull off something more effective for students.
Having a clinical setting for students to practice skills that they have learned is a great way to check for understanding and mastery of skills that they will use in the workforce.
Im excited to see what kinds of tech are out there for my welding program. Having new welders with the tech resources to investigate all aspects of a weld, weld process, procedure as well as safety in the lab. I'm a fan of PBL as well as WBL as welding is a science, it is often only truly grasp when the sparks start flying.
Having a welding simulator would be a great intro for new welders to "see how" without the needed gear for safety and weld integrity. It could be a cost savings overall as no material waste/usage with practicing before suiting up and laying beads for real. This type of tech would also help even senior welders learn a new process
I enjoyed learning about the different ways in which technology can be integrated to enhance our teaching. I also enjoyed learning about the QFT. Students own their learning when they feel heard and having them guide the discussion will result in increase student engagement.
Incredible list of technological online resources. I personally use FlipGrid so that students are able to teach me a skill via a video presentation. The students enjoy it since they can use the videos to study. Integrating tech into the classroom is key to keeping up with the ever advancing tech world. Its our job to make sure these students are ready for the real world and tech is the way to do that.
I think making school as close to a real workplace environment, time clocks, proper paperwork, etc. Is an excellent idea i would love to try in my class room.
These trends suggest that CTE is becoming more dynamic, adaptable, and future-oriented. As technology and industries evolve, CTE programs are striving to prepare students not just for their first job, but for lifelong learning and career growth.
Technology has vastly helped my classroom as classes can become more enhanced and we are able to use simulators to grant them a higher level of learning.
The simulated medical clinic is a great idea. I need to implement some of that in my classroom.
This module provided many technology options and ideas for various activities. Some of them I have heard of, but others were new to me. I intend to try some more technology options in my classes. Project-based learning is a helpful way to integrate learning as students can solve real world issues and apply their knowledge. This can be used with a simulated workplace, which can be set up to run like a real world business.
