Clinical Field Experience B: Manipulatives, Technology, and Centers Interview

Posted on | by Brian Leakey 
•    Which manipulatives, technology, and centers have you used most successfully to teach math to early learners?
•    Do you use manipulatives, technology, and centers with all students, or as part of a differentiation strategy? How do they meet the learning needs of typical and atypical learners?
•    How do you model the use of manipulatives, technology, and centers during instruction?
•    How do you manage behavior while manipulatives, technology, and centers are in use? Does classroom management change? If so, how?

After your interview, observe and assist your mentor teacher with instruction in your field experience classroom. Take note of any strategies used to engage, motivate, and differentiate for students.
Discuss, with your mentor teacher, creating your own learning centers for the class based on the state’s mathematics standards the class is currently working on. Arrange to implement your learning centers in your next clinical field experience.
Spend any remaining field experience hours observing or assisting the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your observations and interview:
• Explain how manipulatives, technology, and centers reinforce math concepts and allow for differentiation, including specific examples.
• Describe strategies the teacher used to engage, motivate, and differentiate for students.
• Reflect on how you can apply what you learned to your future teaching practice.

Question 1
To close the Digital USE Divide, teachers have increased the inclusion of instructional technology to create meaningful, personalized, and deep learning experiences for students. Instructional technology has the capacity to create disruptive innovation of traditional and current methods of teaching and learning.
(1.a) Explain the Digital USE Divide and provide a justification for why it is essential for educators to be responsive to the challenge of closing or minimizing the Digital USE Divide.
(1.b) Explain how ISTE’s 2016 Technology Standards for Students provides a foundation to close the digital use divide. Provide an overview of the seven ISTE Technology Standards for Students in your response.
(1.d) Using the Pic-Rat Model, describe a lesson plan, that you identified or developed, which demonstrates the students’ use of instructional technology and provides students with a transformational learning experience..

There are ethical and reliability concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) making law enforcement, homeland security, private security, and corrections operational decisions. This is explained in a January 2021 research publication by the Rand Corporation, created by Douglas Yeung, Inez Khan, Nidhi Kalra, and Osonde A. Osoba.

AI is increasingly relied upon by American local law enforcement, as documented in a Wall Street Journal presentation on July 3, 2019. This documentation focuses on the New Orleans, LA, police department, which uses many cameras set up on street corners and places where humans are found. Because of this, AI analyzes the tremendous amount of information and makes decisions (not humans) regarding what needs to be addressed by police.

In this New Orleans presentation, private citizens call this AI surveillance as “surveillance on steroids!” Private citizens also ask in this presentation who makes sure that AI performs as intended. Also, can the police be trusted to police themselves regarding what is quickly becoming “technology automated” (machines making the decisions) and not human law enforcement authorities?

You are part of a task force to research the use of forensic data and technology that relies upon artificial intelligence (AI). Your manager has asked for an analysis report on potential current uses of AI in criminal investigations.

Read the article from the University Library.

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word analysis report responding to the following:

-Analyze the use of forensic technology within the context of artificial intelligence.
-Provide a stance on the two arguments presented in the article about “AI is as likely to contribute to racism in the law as it is a means to end it.”
-Explain why you would or would not agree about “Public Fears and the Reality of Concerns Related to AI.”
-Provide an example of the use of AI in a criminal investigation case and evaluate its use to solve it.
-Explain the methods you would use to solve the case.
-Assess the ethical implications of using technology such as AI in criminal investigations.
-Assess the reliability of using AI technology to solve the case.

In this forum, tell us about how media, technology, and the corporate world influence your life. What types of media/technology are in your life every day, which do you rely on, spend the most time with, wish you could do without, etc.? How does it feel to be part of a consumer world? Review your own social media accounts. What do they tell the world about your values, happiness, and beliefs? Then, evaluate the positive and negative aspects of such influence in your life.

 

Technology, potential vectors of hacking, and the imagined impacts

Watch the TED Talk video: All your devices can be hacked

Prior to beginning this assignment read Chapters 1 and 3 in your text and watch the above video that was made in 2011. Then write a 500 word essay,
• Explain what you believe will be the next vulnerable device or area that will be hacked on a large scale.
• Discuss the technology, potential vectors of hacking, and the imagined impacts that may be used by the potential hackers.
• Support your beliefs with research-based evidence.
• Cite your work using APA format.

Leadership, Technology, Artificial Intelligence, and Decision-Making

In this course, we are going to flip the discussion forums. Instead of responding to a discussion question posed to you by the instructor, you will pose the discussion questions to your fellow students. In this way, you get to show your understanding of the concepts while also pushing the conversation forward by asking how we can use this knowledge in new ways. It may feel like a stretch, and if so, that is a good thing! You enrolled in this program (hopefully) to be stretched! As leaders, we cannot just be consumers of knowledge. We must also be able to take that knowledge, question it, determine how to apply it, and push for new answers to new questions.
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:
• Formulate questions that promote critical thinking in others related to technology, artificial intelligence, and decision-making.
________________________________________
Background Information
One of the technologies that will continue to influence organizations in the future is artificial intelligence. As a leader, you need to learn when to look to artificial intelligence for help in decision making, and when you can make the decision better on your own. You need to wrestle with the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence. Think back to LDR-305, your Ethics and Decision-Making for Leaders course. Try to use the foundational ethical and decision-making tools you gained in that course as you assess how to make decisions regarding data, artificial intelligence, etc. in this course.
