What
kind of BYOD resources are available to your population?
In my classroom, I have students who are able to bring
devices in order to accommodate a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) day. This allows
me to plan for instruction and check out the devices for students who may not
have access at home. My school offers two laptop carts and an iPad cart that
can be checked out using an electronic sign-out on OneNote. Having these
devices available to students allows me to assign websites/apps such as
Freckly, Zearn, and our Digital Library to students and know that they have access.
How
could you make more devices accessible?
Devices have been distributed throughout my district
to students who requested them. With the pandemic and mandated virtual
learning, the district collected school devices and checked them out to students
to use throughout the year. This ensured students had what they needed. Mobile
hot spots were also given to families based on needs. This has made the ability
to have any extra technology slim throughout the year, but students have had
the ability to use these websites and apps at home.
How
could you have students use smartphones to create, share, and/or gather data
for this assessment?
Students can use Seesaw to complete assignments for
grades. They can also participate in Kahoot through their smart device and play
learning games. Students can use their knowledge of Seesaw to create, answer
questions, and explain through recordings their understanding of content
knowledge. Microsoft Forms can also be
used for assessments.
How
useful is digital storytelling as an assessment strategy in a variety of
contexts?
Digital storytelling is useful and allows students to
creatively show what they know. This allows students' knowledge to shine
through, even if they are lacking grammar skills or phonics in their writing.
This tool is helpful for the outgoing child but also the shy child who does not
want to present in front of a crowd.
