Yes, it is essential for instructors to firstly consider using the different pathways or options to help students achieve the goal. And think about some aspects that may be the barriers in the learning process, like the cultural background of each student or the social-emotional challenges that academically uninteresting. We should set a clear goal and think of each step carefully.

I can see why they hold this prejudice. But obviously, this is a racial stereotype. Students who are hard-working, smart but may need extra support and time from teachers, which may be a problem for some teachers.

I feel that the design of these enhanced technological methods, aims to provide students with various choices regarding how they access the knowledge and complete the assignment through the learning process. For the instructors, our goal is to have multiple means of engaging in tasks and activities that inspire students while achieving their needs for learning about communications and meeting the course objectives.

This example shows how the new technologies provide opportunities for creating learning environments that extend the possibilities of efficiently learning, integration with new media methods offering new options.

Engagement is key to real learning, as instructors. We can try to make it acceptable to address the challenge with an incorrect answer or an educated guess. Those initial thoughts can help lead the class to a meaningful discussion. Meanwhile, we should also bring some activities to engage those students, or members who are marginalized. I tried to create one activity that encourages all students to anonymously vote in the advice box about their questions that they are shy to tell during class. These voices should not be ignored.

The key is empathy that everyone can feel the belongings, and they can access and use, regardless of their abilities and other factors, to achieve the full spectrum of human diversity.

We should take it seriously as it may put students in a vulnerable position if the data collected are not adequately protected, and worst, it may put them in danger.

So far, I feel much more comfortable about the TPACK model than the SMAR model somehow. TPACK contains three basic dimensions and that are so concise and clear. SAMR usually needs to consider one thing before you do the next, but for the TPACK model, it needs us to think deeply about in planning all three dimensions are well presented.

Redefinition: I tried to implement one activity based on this layer of technology integration. One of my Chinese classes introduced ancient Chinese poets, and I encouraged my students to use a Concept Mapping tool and constructed a mind map demonstrating key elements through words and images. And they felt the whole creation process was exciting, and they were so proud of their final work. They learned positively than just read and recite.

These resources are great summaries to help instructors to consider what students are currently doing. Although understanding these theories is very important, we need to become familiar with theories and the approaches of how to achieve the outcome as well. These digital tools really help us in designing curriculum or activities to motivate students to learn and obtain what they need to thrive in a digitally connected world.

So this is why I use Problem-Based Learning to engage my students in solving real world problems. I designed some activities to help them to think about how it relates to their lives. It really helps to achieve the learning goal as well as offering my students‘ autonomy to make decisions. I put emphasis on foster purposeful student interaction during or after class. I encouraged my students to work with peers who have different strengths than their own. And this really contributes to create one multi-cultural community in my bilingual classroom.

Yes, we really need a cognitive framework or concept that helps to organize and interpret information. It helps to explain why and how our individuals make sense of and process information like how the mental processes work. For example, I used the graphic organizer in order to help my students write paragraphs with appropriate structure in Chinese.

Except for the Voice control tool listed below, there is another one tool Dictation is also great for voice input. It allows students to easily type with their voice. So in this way, it will help with dyslexia or mobility impairments.

We can't neglect the fact of this situation. People should pay attention and help solve this problem. So we should evaluate and find the tools allow the students of cognitive disability to manage, store, and retrieve information. With the help of special software and handheld devices, they could help them plan, organize, and keep track of their calendar, schedule, task list, and notes.

I truly think the e-Learning has great potential to help students with disabilities in their studies.It includes so many tools including the assistant tools. So considering the factor of disability access needs to be built into the design process at the beginning. These technical moves to provide access will need to be done in conjunction with a pedagogical approach to course design that is inclusive for people with disabilities and the overcoming of discrimination on the part of teaching staff.

Yes, and another little reminder.Even the best of us probably have an app sub or two we've forgotten about after signing up once and never using the program again, which can be super annoying when we almost forgot it but the charges show up when it comes time to pay the bill. So remember to cancel the subscription when it is no more use.

Yes, We need to double check that if we have multilingual students. We can guide them to use some tools or use some tools as a helpful way to communicate with non-English-speaking students. Some tools already had functions to communicate both through the audio feature and the ability to translate entire documents. It is necessary to check and find a tool that can support discovery, as well as vocabulary acquisition.

It also happens to teachers. When I teach online, I also face with the same problems. I had to find the perfect tool to support teaching and learning effectively. But teachers are not provided with any opportunities to engage with technology in meaningful ways. So it usually took me a long time to find the right tool.

It is important to keep your derivative files separate from the source files. And remember to know the process of exporting data. I had one bad experience of exporting one educational video. The file was removed from its original location and it shows exporting error as it can't find the source, and I spend another one hour to fix this problem. So it is necessary to read the them all before you start your work.

Yes, it is quite important. We really need some tools that are easy to install and set up, we like to use the tools that we don't need to spend extra time trying the functions struggle. If you spend a lot of time learning the app, you’ll spend too much time helping students figure it out.

Just take a tour and have a try on this website. It makes my collects and notes more efficiently. It highlights articles for me to condense into my own work. I can turn this into an outline very easily. A very powerful tool to create folders othings.

It’s all well and good that we could have one good strategy, Edtech tool, or framework for collaboration, but I hope to share with someone, immersed in diverse thoughts that I think we all will read it, value it, and share it and this interaction improves me as one educator.

This is one trusted source and I used this website for several times and really like it. It released lots of new articles and tells us what works in education. And it also includes lots of information on Ed-tech products and how we should adopt or adapt best practices.

Really like this website as it posted the reviews updated often and includes different aspects of information like how to empower the next generation of becoming digital citizens, very good resource to identify the right tool.

This is a useful tip to narrow down too much information and filter those outdated ones. There usually comes up with lots of information with just a click of the button, and this suggestion would probably reduce our searching time on finding the right one.

Yes. Those Internet search engine websites really help. When I teach one unit of folklore in Chinese，I encouraged my students to use the Bing to navigate to their hometown, cause it showed the street view which better helps the others get to know their local buildings in a cultural community.
