 Social Learning For social learning I chose LinkIn and Facebook to pose my question. As instructional design continues to evolve with advancements in technology and changed learner needs what recent strategies, tools, or approaches have you integrated into your practice, and how have they impacted learner engagement or outcomes? I chose Facebook because I have teacher friends that are easy to reach over the summer months on that platform. This site worked well and most teachers were prompt to answer. They are sympathetic to the pursuit of a master's and the requirements. In summary the teachers strategies include shorter lectures and more simulation of tasks. The usage of any tech can pull the students in as well. The in person training and actual hands on the equipment was noted with all.  LinkedIn is with my industry partners and netted zero results. My findings are that even though Facebook is a social site, it can get you the results you are looking for. This week you wil...

 Exploring AI Photomath - I Explored Photomath when my daughter took PreCal. This is a very useful tool in understanding the steps to a problem and double checking your answers. The downside is not understanding the steps and just using the answer, thus not learning anything. ChatPDF - would be a great tool for teachers. This tool would provide answers to worksheets obtained online. In the hands of students this would be a fast way for them to just get the answers and not learn. Teach.anything.com - This is a fast way for the teacher or student to get a crash course in learnng a subject. A person just enters a topic and the subject is overviewed. Canva - A great tool to design or use templates to create lessons, flyers, graphic organizers. I use this to create fast certificates. Example of an AI collaborative project -  This lesson provides collaboration and gamification on identifying tools with the help of ChatGPT.  Lesson Title: Tool Masters: A Game-Based Learning E...

  VR and Augmented Reality VR training is special in the fact that you can interact and learn at the same time. The environment is safe and collaborative. My classroom is equipped with five VR headsets and one VR forklift trainer. These give the students a safe place to simulate tool usage without getting hurt. On average, I have 30 students a class. The VR headset gives immediate feedback to the student, whereas I may have missed the forks being high on the student on a real forklift.  The headsets are perfect for students that are apprehensive to try a real tool or drive. The headsets offer volume control as well, if the student is sensitive to sound. The real forklift has a 16 year old age limit. The VR headsets do not have this limit. Overlays and QR Codes Overlays in VR/AR can enhance the experience by bringing in the existing objects in the classroom into the digital world. QR codes can bring new objects into the digital world or bring the user into the digital interface...

 Real time Feedback in the Classroom     Real time feedback is instant feedback and  ongoing feedback to single people or teams. This feedback is immediate as the project is going, instead of continueing the project and getting feedback at a future time. Advantages of real time feedback -  Improved performance - the team member knows the strength immediately.  Engagement - Team feels heard and valued, their work matters. Continuous Learning - the project is always changing and the team is learning from mistakes.  Communication - Real time feedback fosters open communication. Faster Problem Solving -  The issues are known sooner and the problem can see immediate attention. Strategies for real time feedback Real time feed back must be timely, specific, positive, constructive, and have solutions.  The feedback nees to be on a positive, non blaming frame. The feedback needs to focus on the problem and not the person. References: Google. (n.d....

 How To Change a Tire     I would use a flipped classroom approach to this. The youtube video is short and the students could easily learn the process of changing a tire before class. I would use this approach because I would want the students to do the hands-on portion in class. The knowledge gained from the video would give the students the knowledge of what to expect during the process. Each student would have to change a tire during class time. Unlike the video we would take at least 5-10 minutes for the safety factor of having the students not drop a car. Critical thinking would include having a European car with with lug bolts instead of the American cars with lug nuts. The students would have to figure that process out and discuss it.  This is the video I would use: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bInihYJPtEU  I would add a how to on check the air pressure and how to put air in your tire. I would do this as a collaborative class. The students could learn f...

 This week focused on storytelling. A subject was picked to take a listening test and record the answers to the questions. My friend was my German engineering husband. Herbert is 57 and likes to always be right and on target. 1. The first question asked to write 1-8. He wrote 1-8, then wrote each number on the side of the paper. He said both ways could be right. 2. The second question asked what would you light first in a cold, dark room. He picked the candle forgetting about the match that you need to light the candle with. 3. The driver of the bus is you question. The question has lots of facts and then asks what color is the driver's eyes? He got that one right after complaining for a bit. 4. He totally missed the survivor on the plane part of question 4. He said where ever they wanted to be buried. 5. He totally got the Moses and the ark question right. His mom is Catholic and they were in church when it was open. He said it was Noah. 6. He responded correctly on the question c...
