Flipchart Title
I chose the flipchart above
because it is a great example of what I believe students need in the
classroom. It has information that
students can read but most importantly it has information that students can see
through imagery and pictures. I chose
this flipchart because it falls within my teaching field while also allowing
students to see some of things that have come out of war. Although war is tragic, it shapes culture and
through this flipchart students can gain a key understanding of that. Hardware/Software
The best thing about the flipchart is that is accessible through all kinds of hardware, or equipment (Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p. 11). The flipchart itself is a type of instructional software program that was made to demonstrate, explain, and provide examples to students in the classroom. This flipchart does a great job at describing events, explaining the change it caused in culture, and showing first-hand accounts of that change through pictures (Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p. 11).
Technology use based on problem solving
A key element to this flipchart is how it can be used to motivate and engage students (Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p. 25). The number one way that it accomplishes this task is by gaining their attention through visual ways (Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p. 11).
Essential conditions for technology integration
“Teachers need system-wide support to implement technology.” (Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p. 65). This is a fact that cannot be ignored. Studies have already shown that students benefit from technology programs like these flipcharts. Technology and education are the key to a brighter future and together can become a deadly combination.
Software support tools
Software support tools are increasingly growing into something more than just “basic capabilities of word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation software” (Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p. 140). A great example of this is the flipchart above as it provides viewers and students with an “improved appearance of the product” (Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p. 140).

I really enjoyed your flip chart about the post war culture, this would have been very helpful during my undergraduate modern history class. It was informative and visually stimulating and kept me interested and engaged. (Robyler & Doeing, 2013, p. 25) The use of pictures provided great examples and would students make connections between image and words. The flip chart would be great for student use after class as a way to review or to make additions to their notes. Having a wide range of flip charts at your disposal would save valuable time on production tasks and is more economical than printing out handout to students. Great choice of flip chart.
ReplyDeleteI really liked quote that you put into your fourth paragraph regarding system-wide support for technology integration. In the book, the authors say that plans for technology integration into the classroom must be shared and coordinated with other school systems and educators in order to be effective (Robyler & Doering, 2013, pg. 65). Teaching is not a job that should be celebrated for individual success due to the fact like group success can touch so many more individual students than one person can.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the flipchart, it is a great subject to chose. As Robyler & Doerin writes "To make teaching and learning more visual, these devices allow the development and use of images ranging from still photos to full motion videos."(Robyler & Doering, 2013, pg. 11) With this said your flipchart is also an excellent choice for this technology as well.
ReplyDeleteYour flipchart provides lots of information on the topic and the pictures give good insight into the subject. As Roblyer and Doering, (2013) state "teachers can structure some highly motivated classroom projects around" teacher resources like this one (145). It is great to have resources like these available free of charge on the internet.
