Student Technology SurveyAs I said in the last post I would like to see how technology can benefit our science students. I am going to attach a technology survey that I would like to have my students fill out. I have a website that my students can access for help when they are at home but if they don't have a computer or internet access this would be hard for them. I currently have students that come to my room early to be able to use the internet for school projects. My website has websites that can help them review or access tutorials. I also want to add videos of my classroom problem solving sessions and discussions of notes for those students who are absent to be able to keep the from getting behind. Just this week I had a student who entered my Chemistry class from another school and she was very far behind her fellow classmates. The archived videos would benefit her being able to catch up and keep her from giving up because she does not have the knowledge her classmates have.
I also would like to see if technology such as virtual labs can help my at risk students better understand the subject matter. Many of my at risk students have Attention Deficit Disorder and the virtual labs and tutorials help them visualize the concepts better than just lectures. Also the virtual labs help them understand the processes of the actual labs and helps prepare them to gain a deeper understanding of the actual laboratory experiments we do in the our Chemistry laboratory.
Our district Science Coordinator who is my mentor and I discussed looking at my students last science standardized test scores, conduct the technology survey and then try to enhance the students technology experiences and then compare the results of the students end of year standardized science test scores.
