    Hi Chrissy,

    Great work on your project. I was pleasantly surprised a couple of weeks ago to learn that you would create a parent tech night as a solution to your challenge. I think you are right that strengthening parent involvement and understanding of technology can go far in supporting your students. I remember reading in one of my ECOMP classes that encouragement from home is one of the most important factors in encouraging women and students of color to go into STEM fields. I can't wait to hear more about your hotspot loaner program.

    The media you used in your video enhances your message, and you inspired me to try Adobe Spark. We have been using that at my school this year.

    In the spirit of 10x feedback, here are some questions or thoughts for you:

    Are students able to take their devices home? If not, that ability, along with hotspots, would go a long way to ensuring they have tech at home.


    In your paper I see that you mentioned unplugged lessons. Coincidentally, I saw two unplugged coding challenges today that you might find interesting: https://littlebinsforlittlehands.com/superhero-computer-coding-game-without-a-computer/?utm_content=buffer2f6d9&utm_medium=social&utm_source=pinterest.com&utm_campaign=buffer

    Have you decided what you might do about the groupings? Students do need to learn to work collaboratively and research shows the benefits of pairing students with different abilities. Can you use the "pair programming" model to show that working with others is important?

    How can you get students to use these tech tools in their other classes? Can you connect with an ELA, Social Studies, Science, or Math class, to use coding as a way to show evidence of understanding?

    What if students could self-identify the skills they need to work on and then partner with students who might already have those skills? Maybe they could work on a project together to complete a media presentation for example. The catch would be the learner gets to pick the topic and must teach the teaching student the ins and outs of that topic. That way, everyone gets to be an expert in an information sharing economy. I also think your after school program will go a long way in leveling the playing field. Especially for students who might be interested in tech but are limited by access. If we are thinking very big than the solution is to solve the digital divide. The best way to do this would be to secure a grant much like the ones listed below.

Prototype!

I created a google slides to organize my ideas for my problem of practice as well as my prototype. I decided that my solution that I wanted to work on would be parent engagement and I brainstormed some ways to engage parents in some of the slides for the slide show. At the end of my slideshow I included the prototype. I created a flyer on smores.com. This flyer included information about computer science class, events that parents could attend, and extra information/ resources for them. I created 2 different events that I think would be very beneificial to parents the first, was a parent tech night where we would be discussing resources and how they could help at home. This event would also include information about a fundraiser I would want to put together to get funds to purchase wifi hotspot loaners for the public library available to students from the district. The second event is an event that is called Family Tech Night. This event includes participation from parents and children...

Problem of Practice

My problem of practice is an age old problem. My classes are so diverse with so many different kinds of students with different kinds of backgrounds and skills. My students are different in terms of socio economic status and the amount of available technology that they have at home. They are also different in terms of needs, disabilities, strength levels and interests. I am having an especially hard time with my 8th period class. This class has very high leveled students. Students that may be even smarter than me in terms of coding and computer programming. I also have students in this class who are classified and have IEP's and are reading at a 1st grade level. Throughout all my classes I have students that move from home to home in foster care and may not have technology available to them at all times. But then, I also have students that have built their own computers and have all the necessary equipment for that. My issue is about how to meet the needs of my diverse population...
