Week 2: Video Discussion

Standards command actions, learning, and behavior (Hughes & Roblyer, 2023). Performance with given consequences direct student behaviors. With the constant technologic and societal transformations, these changes influence curriculum (Dohn et al., 2020). Learner-centered instruction replaces traditional-based lecturing (Marshall et al., 2014). The teacher provides lessons through a variety of technologies and activities (Hughes & Roblyer, 2023). Working to impart intellectual, social, and diverse issues, the educator finds the best strategies for each student’s interests and needs while aligning to school’s goals. (Marshall et al., 2014). A instructor focuses on building students’ communication, cooperation, problem-solving, and organizational skills (Dohn et al., 2020). A professor’s primary technology focus is to install ethical practices, positive citizenship, and digital literacy (Hughes & Roblyer, 2023). Through blended styles, the classroom becomes a place for instruction, feedback, virtual tours, role play, simulations, and interactions (Dohn et al., 2020). As an art teacher, technology is a tool that enables me to spend more time with the individual. Instead of giving a lecture many times, I provide self-made and YouTube instructional videos with research assignments for the student to go at their own pace.
