Quizlet, Actively Learn and Quia



 The module was very interesting we discussed three technology tools. One that I was familiar with was, Quizlet is a mobile and web-based study application that allows students to study information via learning tools and games. It is currently used by 2-in-3 high school students and 1-in-3 college students. The second tool was  Actively Learn is an online literacy platform designed to help students read for depth, by letting teachers activate, support, and reveal student thinking while reading. Finally the we discussed  Quia (short for the Quintessential Instructional Archive). Hundreds of thousands of teachers and students have used this valuable on-line tool to create interactive quizzes and games using their own content.  I think I would still use quizlet in my career field since I feel it’s the most common and to me.  I feel Quia would be a challenge to use because it’s fairly new to me. But I think I could eventually overcome that challenge and adapt to it.

UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone–not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.  People tend to   bring a huge variety of skills and interests to learning. Neurosciencetists  reveals that these differences are as vrandom  and unique as our DNA or fingerprints. Three primary brain networks come into play:        Another item that was discussed, was cyberhate, mainly on social media and ways to monitor and negate it.         Social media can be an effective way to reach student but it shouldn’t be the main outlet. It can be used to         reach some s...
