How can teachers leverage blended learning strategies to make lessons more student-centered?
What challenges should teachers anticipate when implementing blended learning strategies? What can they do to mitigate those challenges?
Why is EdPuzzle an effective tool for instruction? How might a teacher use it in a blended learning context?
How might a teacher use the other tools we’ve reviewed (adaptive reading, hyperdocs, call and response, and more) in a blended learning context?

For this forum, choose one of the following topics to respond to for your initial post. When you respond to your peers please respond, if possible, to a learner who has posted a contrary view on the topic you selected and then, at a minimum respond to at least one learner who has posted on the topic you did not select.Topic A: Female thinking?Present an argument that women think differently than men (or that they do not) and that they process moral matters differently (or they do not). Please see my first post before writing your response. Topic B: Women, testosterone and sportsPresent an argument that women with more naturally occurring testosterone should or should not be banned from competing against other women. Please tie your response to one of the moral theories already discussed. That is, present a utilitarian, Kantian, Virtue, or Natural Law defense – or preferably care ethics, as per the material this week. Topic C: AbortionAbortion is always a sticky subject. Taking the into consideration the material provided about care ethics and relationships, present an argument that there are times when having an abortion is the morally right thing to do. ***Please tie your responses directly to the lesson material, readings/videos, rather than just your opinions on these topics.Here is a short video on how this question pertains to feminist ethics: Alternative Paradigms: Care Ethics and Feminine Ethics – YouTube Two arguments – for and against abortion:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br59pD583Iohttps://www.qcc.cuny.edu/socialSciences/ppecorino/MEDICAL_ETHICS_TEXT/Chapter_8_Abortion/Reading_Marquis_Why_Abortion_Immoral.htm

Souto-Manning and Martell (2017) write, “There is a puzzling mismatch between the diversity of children and the standardization and regimentation of curriculum and teaching (Genishi & Dyson, 2009). Many children in today’s K-2 classrooms do not see themselves on their classroom walls, in materials, or within the curriculum. As previously documented, literacy curriculum and teaching are often not representative, relevant, or accessible to children of color who have historically been left out of the curriculum (Sleeter, 2005; Souto-Manning, 2013).”
The diversity that students represent spans learning ability, learning style, race, ethnicity, language, and religion, among others. Describe the culture of your school and its accommodations for such diversity. Also, consider additional efforts that you believe might make students see themselves in the curriculum more. Please share any information from any of the course readings so far that is relevant.
Assignment must be in APA format

“Waiting for Superman”
Respond to these questions after viewing the documentary and reading the Washington Post article.
1. What factors should be considered when evaluating students’ performance?
2. What factors should be taken into consideration when evaluating teacher performance and determining pay levels?
3. How is a school or school district affected by teacher turnover? 4. How can we support teachers in their early years and enable good teachers to gain the confidence and experience to become effective? 5. Regarding our current educational system, identify two areas which cause conflict within you.

One of the most common exceptionalities you may encounter as an educator is a Learning Disability. It is not always possible to be well versed on each exceptionality that you may encounter so it is important to rely on resources that can be accessed in a time of need. You can pick one or two topics from this list in addition to RTI –dyslexia, processing disorders, non-verbal disability, auditory processing, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or learning disabilities. Sorry, ADHD is not on this list, we will get to it in a few weeks. Explain what the exceptionality is, how it is addressed in schools, and any common problems these students may face.

We need opportunities for instructional technology training.
It is identifying the challenges surrounding technology integration in the classroom.
Generally, multiple studies have identified the following common barriers: limited computers.
access, poor-quality software, time constraints, technical issues, teacher attitudes toward
technology, insufficient funding, lack of teacher confidence, resistance to change, and inadequate
Administrative support.
As a High School teacher, I believe technology provides students with instant access to a
A vast amount of information and resources. The Internet and digital tools allow students to
Explore various subjects, conduct research, and access educational materials that may not be
available in traditional textbooks. Here are some concrete examples of how students can use
technology to enhance their learning:
Issue Definition
One of the issues facing technology in the classroom is that teachers must know how to utilize each new tool and instruct students fully. Providing
classrooms with flashy new tools teachers and students can’t use is unlikely to improve
education. Requiring overworked teachers to self-teach every new tool leads to frustration.
Although training teachers and staff on technology requires time and money, it is essential if
students are to benefit from technology as intended. Technology enables educators to eliminate
classroom walls, providing students opportunities to relate coursework to the real world and
Pursue academic interests that genuinely enrich their education. It also facilitates virtual guest
speakers. Events where students can video conference with experts and professionals from
various fields, expanding their access to information and real-world viewpoints.
Issue Challenges
While many teachers resist adopting new educational technology, studies show these.
The lack of technological adoption does not stem from an inherent dislike of technology. Instead,
teachers view learning to use unfamiliar tools as risky, feel inadequately trained, and lack
guidance from administrators on which specific technologies positively impact students.
Supporting teachers in acquiring new skills can help overcome this resistance by building
confidence, providing training, and aligning.
The technology initiatives resulted in positive outcomes for students. Many teachers face
barriers that make implementing EdTech tools difficult and burdensome rather than rewarding.
This inconsistent use of digital tools stems from inadequate.
Training and support lead to frustration and resistance. However, with proper training and
Ongoing support, teachers gain confidence using integrated EdTech tools, seeing them as assets.
Rather than obstacles. When educational leaders feel empowered to use technology effectively,
resistance fades, and a unified digital environment becomes accessible. Teacher buy-in is
essential for the successful adoption of EdTech, requiring administrative commitment to equip
and encourage educators throughout the transition.

Today’s teachers and administrators must stay current with the latest teaching strategies.
To be successful. These strategies emphasize student-centered learning through digital tools,
remote and hybrid instruction, individualized learning plans, and adapting to students’ “on-the-

Effectively, teachers need adequate training and support to enhance student engagement and
Learning. Data-driven instruction can provide the support teachers need.
Conclusion
In conclusion, there are a few ways you can make it easier for your teachers and
administration staff to buy into digital technology: you can track attendance, grade work, update
courses, assign homework, create report cards, share links, and more—all within the platform.
To thrive in the 21st-century workplace, students need more than a working knowledge
of current technological tools. They must gain exposure to the tools and skills they will likely
encounter in the modern workplace. By integrating these technologies into the regular
curriculum and ongoing activities, institutions ensure that their students are workforce-ready in
more ways than one way.

Part 1 Collaborate with your host teacher to select a concept that is being taught during math instruction and make arrangements to implement a lesson during the third week of your field experience. Design a game, implement it during a math lesson, and write a reflection paper that includes the points outlined in the directions below. Research or design a game that can be used with partners or with a small group of students. Some form of record keeping or writing should be included. Implement the game during a math lesson and then include the following information in a written reflection: Grade level State standard Learning objective Materials and preparation Game directions Assessment notes and observations of what occurred when students played the game Identify additional online game sites that could be used to create games for implementation in a virtual classroom. Submit the mathematical task and your assessment by Day 7 of Week 3. ————————————————————- Part 2 Reflect on the video lessons and host teacher science lessons you have observed. Consider which approaches were presented for inquiry-based learning and interdisciplinary learning? Think about which differentiation strategies meet the needs of all learners? Meet with your host teacher to design and implement a lesson based on an earth and space science topic and standard(s): This lesson should integrate technology, ELA, and history. It should be a whole group lesson, if possible. It does not need to occur during a specific block of science time. For example, it is common that teachers integrate science topics into ELA lessons. You and your host teacher should discuss the appropriate time for teaching your lesson. Use the Walden Lesson Plan template. When creating the lesson, consider the students’ interest, reading levels, and backgrounds as foundations for the lesson. Identify potential student misconceptions, ways to present multiple perspectives, and ways to elicit critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Select, at least, expository text to use with the lesson, and plan effective reading strategies to support all learners with this text. After teaching the lesson, candidates should reflect on the planning and implementation in the Reflection section of the Lesson Plan template.
