Digital Literacies


 
Comparing the different periods will help me to explain the differentiation I have from my students because when I will start teaching, there will be such different digital literacies between us. As we are living in a technology age, we are getting to familiar with them in teaching and studying areas. I used to use technological tools which are Ted- ed , Skype, Teamvier, Prezi, Animoto and Edmodo so I will use them in the future as well because I believe that they are such a good tools to teach and they help and develop students' horizon. In addition, computer literacy needs user who knows how to recognize and find solutions to hard&software problems. Thats why Teacher should know how to use and deal with these .Also, in future, I wil be get used to use what I learnt during my education life but my students will be digital citicizens, I mean, the technology keeps changing and developing . We see that improvement are increasing eveyday . For example, screen touch cellphones came out in 21st century. In 2007, first screen touch phones were in markets. Then, tablet Pc's and smart boards were becomming common. Nowadays, every productions are developing more and more and it wil go on. I think my school will provide the necessary environment for me to fully engage my students and way of learning.  Its started to progress in terms of digital literacies because old methods and techniques are no longer useful for students . Student will need to use technology for their homework, in short, homeworks require technology. Also many of the jobs didnt exist in 2002 because of the lack of technology. Also many of the jobs which students will have, dont even exist yet. Moreover , they will use technologies that have not been invented. I think the clasroom will not be as I am being in today. Preparing children for the 21st century is not just about technology or skills for the global economy, it is about; creativity, cultural awareness, problem solving,  innovation, civic engagement, communication, productivity, collobration, accountability, exploration, initiative and leadership. As I do not find educational, I will not encourage my students to use their mobile devices in the classroom, but, I will let them to use the current technology they have in the clasroom environment. I think technologycal devices are usefull for students it facilitates their workload .If everyone use it right, it give them power and convenience . I would love to support my lessons with videos pictures etc. likewise If my students want to share their ideas or examples by using developed technological devices to support or to start any debate, I would be happier :)

Designing Instructional Activities: Differentiated Instruction

Taking risk is the key of success because risk supply opportunities to explore our talents. In the video I watched accorging to Chris, considering childrens' particular strength when planning instruction is essentiala and I agree with her idea. The idea seperating students according to their levels also help to the Instruction . When they observe the students' ability, the task which they will prapare for students will be done according to their level. Otherwise, same task may cause students to be confuse. During supporting their students to take risk, they expect them to explore themselves in some ways such as their strangeness and weakness .Thus not only students but also Instructor will know that which subject they are good at. Without taking risk the Instuctor does not discover the students' talent. Also if Instructors encourage learners in which area they are good at, they may be more willing and enthusiastic about it. Determination is the most important issue on students. When they are quit determined and confident the rest will come and continue easily.

I was in the high school and I had a teacher who built on my strengths. She encouraged me to develop my language skills and she helped me by correcting my mistakes teaching me in different ways and perspectives.She was young and we all actually loved her. Every time even if I do mistakes, she encouraged me to try my best and do the better. This kind of Teachers make me feel safe and powerfull. Thanks to her I loved to interest in languages . She was as if telling stories about a girl who managed to be a teacher and her background was full of failure . Although these what she experienced she could be a teacher but this all was according to her. Eventually before we graduated, she told us that everytime she talks about the unsuccesfull girl actually was she . İnspiration of her story is quit enough for everyone to try the best.

If I will be a teacher, I will suppose my students to take risks as even taking may have a negative results, it may result in advantages and have pozitive  results. Without taking risk, the acchievement that students expect is impossible . Taking risk is safer than not taking because you can not know wheater you will achieve or not. Thus it affect being open-minded also. I would recommend my students to taking risk if they want to be rewarded .
