Context:
Using the internet, I found many television resources that can be used
in the classroom. I have included five of which I found to be very
useful. These sites described many television resources from the
Discovery Channel to Channel 1 for kids. I viewed a Channel 1 for
kids segment in class. This program is very useful because they are
made for kids, by kids. These television programs are very educational
and will encourage a student to want to learn more. They are interactive,
full of games, activities, and lessons. I used the curriculum guide
from the website www.dpi.state.nc.us to find the Competency Goal 3 from
the NC Standard Course of Study K-12 Technology Competency that states,
“The learner will use a variety of technologies to access, to analyze,
interpret, synthesize, apply, and communicate information”. I listed
these sources and their information on a Microsoft Word document.
Impact:
As a teacher, I will want to use television resources in my classroom.
Media is a huge part of a society and needs to be taken advantage of and
used for education. These television resources can help students
learn anything from science to history.
Alignment:
After researching educational programming, I now have resources to
go to when I am in the classroom. I have completed Technology
Competency 10.2 by using television resources to support curriculum
in the classroom. This will enhance my teaching abilities by helping
my students learn more effectively.
