Discuss your progress on the digital story.  What is your plan to be prepared to share your story during the 7th week of class?  What do you need assistance with?

Based on the feedback I plan to elaborate on the special bond between my grandmother and I. I also plan to add more pictures and/or videos.My plan to be prepared to share my story is to fine tune the presentation.

Review the resources for this week and discuss potential application tools for the production of your story or use with students in your classroom.

I plan to explore the application tools to identify which is the best fit for my digital story. My first go-to application tool was Screencastify just because I am familiar with it. Yet, I have seen many different engaging application tools that have captivated me as the audience. 

In preparation for the Digital Storytelling in your Community Assignment due next week.  Discuss the following:

Who is the authentic audience for your story?  Who will be impacted by it?  In what ways might this story resonate with this audience?

My authentic audience would be elementary students. The impact would be for those students that have lost a loved one and wanting to honor their memory by creating a digital story. 

What skills and knowledge have you developed as you create your story? 

The skills that I have developed to create my story is creating a story map that then transitions to script with photographs and/or images, then to the end product that will be presented at the end.

    You have a good plan in place for completing your story. Are you going to use any music or transitions within the story?
    I will look at Screencastify; I'm not familiar with it and looking for user-friendly tools to help me. Like you, I have been captivated by some of the stories we've seen and the technology used to create them. Adobe Spark seems to be a user-friendly tool, and I also came across Wevideo. I will use the next week to play with several applications to see which will meet our needs for this assignment. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's stories.

    Screencastify is also another good option. I am familiar with that and Loom. I can not wait to see your final product!

Biography: Hello, My name is Lorena Rubio and married with a beautiful 9 month old baby girl! I am a certified bilingual educator with EC-6 and in my fifth year of teaching. This is my second year in 1st grade as a Dual Language Teacher in Texas but previously taught Bilingual Kindergarten and Pre-kindergarten. My favorite grade level is first grade! When I first started the Dual language program at my current district, I was intimidated by the fact of teaching Spanish learners versus only teaching Spanish speakers as a bilingual teacher at my previous district. The Dual language program used at my campus is the 2-way, meaning the group of students composed of Spanish speakers and Spanish learners. I am blessed to give back to the bilingual program that helped me achieve to become a bilingual teacher. I am a product of the same district I am currently teaching! Although I am only in my fifth year of teaching, I would like to support teachers digitally and provide them with abundant res...

Part 1: My name is Lorena Rubio. I am in my 5th year teaching and currently teaching 1st grade Dual Language. I enjoy teaching but have found an interest in technology! I would love to work with more of the aspect of technology within the education field. Super excited to start! Part 2: In my district, the rubric used is the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS). https://teachfortexas.org/ This evaluative rubric is used yearly, uses a scale to rate from improvement needed to distinguish and provides descriptions that are specific under each category for the specific rating. The administrators use these rubrics to evaluate teachers in different settings or data such as observations, walkthroughs, artifacts, student growth and analyzing student data.  When comparing the ISTE technology use expectations and the T-TESS, two areas that illustrated good alignment are 1.A Empowered learner (ISTE) with 1.4 Activities (T-TESS) and 3.C Knowledge Constructor (ISTE) with 1.1 St...

Part 1:  Authentic Intellectual Work/Authentic Instruction & Assessment.   What is the nature of Authentic Intellectual Work?  How does it differ from traditional approaches to instruction and assessment?  The nature of Authentic Intellectual Work goes beyond the traditional approach in instruction and assessment. Authentic Intellectual work are skills that are in depth and transfer to adult life to make decisions and build great communication.  Discuss the components of Authentic Intellectual Work and provide deep consideration of at least one component by including a discussion of empirical (research-based) evidence. The components of Authentic Intellectual Work are construction of knowledge, discipline inquiry, and value beyond school (Newman, King, & Carmichael 2007). The components go more in depth of what is included. For the construction of knowledge, to be able to solve new problems organization, interpreting, evaluating or synthesizing prio...
