Wk-12 Assignment #2 Technological Tools/ Technology Intergarted Lesson Plan



Summary: Technological tool
As a student at NYIT, I have learned the importance of integrating technology into my Literacy instruction. Moreover, when I’m creating a lesson plan, I think of what kind of technology I will use in the plan. Additionally, I know that integrating technology into a lesson enhances students learning and increases student engagement. The tools I would like to try in my classroom are, VoiceThread and UDL Bookbuilders.  These tools enhance student learning. I know that new literacy skills are essential for our students current and future success. I’m looking forward to using the technologies I’ve learned about in my future classroom.

Keystone Project: Two QRI5 Assessment Reports



QRI5 #1

I administered the QRI5 to Jayla. Jayla is a second grader who attends P.S. 66 in Brooklyn N.Y.
Jayla was excited about participating in the assessment. Once I explained the process to Jayla, she said
“that’s it?”. I said “yes” with a smile. I started Jayla with the second-grade word list. Jayla scored 90%
accuracy.  Next, I selected the level two passage The Family’s First Trip.

Miscues:

Number of total miscues (total accuracy) 305-2= 303   303/305 =99%

Number of meaning changing miscues = 1

Jayla’s miscue results places here on the independent reading level

Rate:  305x60 -18300/240 second-76

WCPM: 305-2 error x 60 =18180/240 seconds=75

Retelling score: 7/24 Jayla recalled less than half of the text details.

Questions: 6/7 Jayla questioning score is at the Instructional level.

Jayla is reading at the 2-grade reading level. Jayla’s strength is her ability to recognize words correctly and almost effortlessly. However, while reading she used the present tense for “read” in the text instead of the past tense. The area where Jayla needs support is recalling details from the text.  I have designed instruction to support Jayla’s needs based on this assessment.

Reflection:

It was a joy administering the QRI5 to Jayla. Jayla, wanted to show me what a good reader she was; and I was grateful for her participation. Additionally, the enthusiasm Jayla showed towards reading was encouraging. Moreover, with continued support, Jayla will continue to develop her reading skills. Jayla seems to be on target for meeting the end of the year reading goals for 2 grade readers.

Reflection
I feel this lesson supported learning as well as provided the necessary challenges.This lesson is supported by  the Gradual Release of Responsibility research based instructional model. The changes I would make to better support student learning, I would use Edpuzzle. With the use of Edpuzzle, the student can watch the video as many times as needed to learn the concept. I enjoyed creating this lesson.


QRI5 # 2

The second child I administered the QRI5 to was Patrick a 4th grader. Patrick attends P.S. 66 in Brooklyn N.Y. In addition, Patrick loves music, and watching YouTube videos. Patrick wants to become a famous Youtuber one day. Therefore, Patrick watches YouTube one hour a day after completing his homework assignments. I started Patrick with the 4th grade word list. Patrick scored 90% accuracy rate, which is the independent level. Next, I selected Amelia Earhart a fourth-grade level passage. Patrick’s assessment scores are as followed.

Miscues:

Number of total miscues (total accuracy) 268- 1 = 267     267/268 = 99%

Number of meaning change miscues (total acceptability) 0

Patrick is at the independent level based on his miscues.

Rate: 268 x 60 =16080/180 seconds = 89 wpm

WCPM: (268-1 error) x 60 =16020/ 180 seconds = 89 WCPM

Retelling: 8/18 ideas were recalled (less than half)

Questions: Patrick was able to answer 6/7 questions.



Reflection:

Based on Patrick’s assessment, I would say he will be reading on the 5th grade level by the end on the school year, with proper support. Patrick’s strength, is his ability to quickly recognize words. However, I gently asked him to slow down, so that I could catch up while reading. However, Patrick needs support with comprehension and recalling information form the text. I have created instruction to meet Patrick’s needs based on his assessment results. It was a pleasure, to talk with a young man with so much hope for the future. I’m looking forward to using this assessment tool with my future students.

Reflection:
I feel this lesson supported learning as well as provided the necessary challenges. This lesson supports diverse learning styles, providing support for our visual learner through video, and written webs. According Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligence, "we are all able to know the world through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems or to make things, an understanding of other individuals, and an understanding of ourselves. The  changes I would make to better support student learning, I would use Edpuzzle. With the use of Edpuzzle, the student can watch the video as many times as needed to learn the concept. I enjoyed creating this lesson.
