Chapter four of How People Learn: Processes That Support Learning outlines three major points when discussing how people orchestrate their own learning: metacognition, executive function, and self-regulation (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018). Each of these domains and how they interplay ties in with Gura's Innovation Process found in Chapter 4 of the text in that higher levels of thinking are required to execute this process (Gura, 2016). The ITSE standard 1.1.a goes right along with the idea of self-regulation described in chapter four of How People Learn as it involves students articulating and setting personal learning goals (International Society of Technology in Education, 2023).

    Your Infographic looks so great! I do not know how much of that design was already in the template, but it's perfect! Did you find Canva to be a resource you would use again? It is not something I had heard of until now, but was very happy to find it available 100% free for Educators. I also read chapter four of the Gura text and what I had grasped from it was about deep learning needing to be a choice. He showed ways to make learning more personal for the students so that they could take ownership of their education, and I really liked that. The concept you chose to highlight is great too because it highlights the innovative process; which is something students must be able to do in order to achieve deeper meaning with their learning.

      Nicole, thank you for your comment! Yes, I have used Canva for years and will continue to use it. I'm a theatre educator so it is great for program designs, posters, etc. It is so easy to use and has a very large library of graphics and templates.

    The main and most prominent thing I can say about this here is how clear, concise, and correct you are with the information provided. No extra fluff needed; just get straight to the point and answer what you need to. Also a huge fan of your info graphic Shane. I like how informative yet not overwhelming it is to communicate your key points from the chapter. Keep up the good work!

    I love the info-graphic! I did not use Canva but based on yours and others, I think I will definitely start using Canva! I feel like my response was also very wordy I love how you summed everything up so simple yet effective.

Part I:      Authentic Intellectual Work is not concerned with a student's superficial comprehension of academic concepts but more with the value of these concepts outside of school, students' ability to construct knowledge to solve unique problems by using existing knowledge, and their in-depth understanding and ability to extensively communicate that understanding. The nature of this work is connected to the work of successful adults and the value of their work in the professional world. What stood out to me most in the reading was the emphasis on in-depth understanding and the importance for students to be able to display this knowledge both through communication but also through problem-solving ( Newmann et al., 2007).      In the fast-paced, assessment-obsessed public school culture it is seemingly impossible to create the type of learning experiences described in the reading. With increased pressure on teachers to provide instruction that leads to pas...

  K-12 online lesson alignment to the principles of UDL: the Khan Academy  SUMMARY The article begins with a discussion of the growing number of students and parents from all states opting for fully online or blended learning. (Smith & Harvey, 2014) With this article being written in 2014, I imagine that the numbers have only increased because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors go on to state that all types of learners are involved in this increase of numbers including students with disabilities and at-risk students. They also provide sources that suggest the potential of online learning to “transform student learning and outcomes through flexible content and instructional delivery” (Smith & Harvey, 2014, p.223). After defining the terminology describing accessibility in their study, the authors go on to introduce the Universal Design for learning (UDL), a broadly accepted framework. which offers “a general blueprint for considering how instructional ...
