5 Supporting Artifacts for Language Arts

1)      The Ontario Curriculum Document
http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/elementary/language18currb.pdf - 
This artifact is a pinnacle and basic foundation for programs that encompass comprehensive literacy. This must continuously be referred to, and concisely used when planning comprehensive literary lessons. Lesson and unit plans must revolve around overall and specific expectations that exist in this document in order to teach the students accordingly. Some modifications and accommodations may be made for particular students and their required needs

2)  Kahoot!
https://kahoot.it/#/
This artifact is a very flexible tool to be used under the Teacher Choices for the 100 Minute Block. Students are able to be assessed in an enjoyable, engaging, and challenging fashion. Regarding the task within comprehensive literacy, Kahoot! is a fun technological format as a way of Assessment for Learning. The teacher can identify where students are struggling and base their lessons around the needs of the students, while continually gathering anonymous data that is only student labeled and visible to the teacher. 

1)      Article: Comprehensive Literacy - Team Teaching
https://www.otffeo.on.ca/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/06/1-IAT5-51_Comprehensive-Literacy_Team-Teaching.pdf
This artifact strays from the norm, as it is an article that provides teachers with insight on how to team teach in lieu with comprehensive literacy. Students are directed to work together within the comprehensive literacy model, therefore teachers can model this format to students by working together to create said function. For this to be a successful method of literary comprehension, the instruction style must be succinct and consistent among classes.

1)      Article: What works? Research into Practice.
http://www.curriculum.org/secretariat/files/May30LearningBlocks.pdf  
This artifact aids in the support to guide teachers in understanding the importance of Literacy Blocks and its compromise of the 100-minute block and its components. It explains Student Engagement and opportunities available. Tips for planning and timetable, which includes: considerations, implications and proper routine scheduling. Divides the time into individual, group and whole class discussion/work. Explains the gradual release of responsibility; specifically developing students from modeled, shared and guided instruction until expected independent work is reached.

This final artifact is basic in form, however it offers a visual representation that can aid both the student and educator. It is a gentle reminder that segregates the strands into more specific components so that assessment differentiation can be easily identifiable. Overall and specific expectations are now readily, and visually, available to help represent Ontario Curriculum and assessment.

Scheduling some routines!

During today's session we looked at the calendar applications that Google has to offer. It worked wonderfully and was super user friendly. I am so glad I had the opportunity to check it out as I don't think I would have done so on my own accord. I am learning so much from this Technologies course, it will most definitely help me with my lesson, unit and program plans and it's availability to students, families and staff. I am also finding it particularly enjoyable each and every class. There seems to be a new format, gadget or application looked into and learned which helps with our own knowledge and the technological knowledge of our future students. Of course, certain things will become past paradigms eventually and so adds for an increase in learning technology at an exponential level. The most important factor in this is to remind oneself that it's a self-perpetuation and meta-cognition and never something that should be forced on students. This fluidly moves into...

My Introduction into Education 4P28

Back to the blogging game!  Just as a reiteration for the newer viewers, my name is Daniel Cursio and I am a Concurrent Education student passionate in learning about all there is about Education and its expansive field. Comprehension, meta-cognition and present-day Literacy are all important factors in advancing my knowledge regarding the topic of Education. I am an avid student and always capable of learning new material. In saying this, I hope that I will acquire as much information as possible in respect to the current literacy for students around the world. This will help with my inquiries towards current literacy and how factors such as social media, newspapers, television shows, increased types of communication, and so on, can all have the potential to enhance literacies and peoples capabilities to learn. I hope this was a concise summary, and that your expectations are similar to mine. Thanks for reading!

~ Critical Literacy: Connections to thinking, interpreting and reflecting ~

Through the continual studying, reading and learning I have been doing through my undergrad studies, I have come to a very important topic of educational discussion. When depicting the key elements of what comprises our curriculum today, it is beneficial to think, discuss and talk about the 21st Century Literacies and what they are defined as. As mentioned in the previous blog post, the traditionalist style of schooling has taken a rather large transition. In correlation with the advancement in technology, medias and global connections; I talked about the impact and analysis behind only a few of the key literacies, though they are vital. Media and digital literacy were of those two that have been shifting in a progressive manner (Berger et al., 2009). Yet even though the advancement of literacies may be essential to keep things relevant and updated for education, the most important literacy that ushers a complete connectedness with each and every 21st century literacy, is in fact Crit...
