After a long school year of planning, teaching and more, the month of June has arrived \u2013 when we not only take time away from school to rejuvenate, but we also reflect on the past year. Though I will do a lot of reflecting myself, I decided I would get some help from those with the most important opinions of all \u2013 the students.<\/p>\n

This past year, I\u2019ve gone through several iterations of classroom models, trying out different classroom structures and various education technology tools that might meet the needs of my students and classroom. Through these trials and experiences, my students and I have learned a lot \u2013 both about math and how to best learn math. We\u2019ve compared the different modes of learning, determining what works well and what doesn\u2019t work as well. At the end of the year, here is what my students have to say.<\/p>\n

Josiah, a 5th grade student who is very bright in math, loves using technology to learn at his own pace. \u201cI like that it helps me a lot. I can work independently.\u201d When asked to compare using technology to learn versus a regular classroom environment, he feels that using technology \u201cis better because it helps you and gives you hints.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some students really enjoy that they don\u2019t have to use the standard pencil and paper format. Genesis, another 5th grader, likes using technology because \u201cit doesn’t include writing and you [just] have to swipe and press.\u201d And even if students do want to show work, students like Lily love the option of \u201cshow[ing] work on our whiteboards.\u201d Technology opens up many doors in terms of practice, as students get to manipulate, visualize and interact with their learning and practice in enhanced ways.<\/p>\n

The most common theme of all, though, is using the web as a resource really enhances learning. Kimberly finds \u201cyou can search stuff up and you can get apps that help you learn.\u201d Many programs, such as Khan Academy and even the simple yet vast Google search engine, \u201chelp us by having instruction and images of how to do things,\u201d says Lily. Students like Ashley find the World Wide Web serves as more than a tool to learn and practice math \u2013 it \u201chelps understand what [other] things are and how we use them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though many students will frankly say they love using technology for media uses, it seems students also appreciate the use of technology in the classroom. Altogether, technology serves as a strong option for personalizing learning, giving students a personalized path to reach their academic goals.<\/p>\n
