    Interview Notes

    October 6, 2021

    Wendy (Leimamo) Lind’s SFA Class (Virtual observation via Google Meet)

    1) What were your goals or objectives for this lesson?

    Objectives were to guide students through cooperative learning and

    practicing clarifying strategies.

    2) What types of educational or professional experience and/or training do you have in

    the use of digital tools?

    Teach for America, SFA trainings, Google Meet workshops through the

    HIDOE, colleague collaboration, troubleshooting/trail and error.

    3) What types of virtual tools were used in this lesson? What other types of virtual

    tools do you use to support student learning?

    This lesson- Google Meet, SFA Interactive Whiteboard Slides (teacher use

    only)

    Other tools not seen today- Kahoot! Mystery Science, GoNoodle, ClassDojo,

    Google Classroom, Clever.

    4) What were some of the methods used when instructing and using the virtual tools?

    Frequent reminders, use of the detailed SFA teacher manual and SFA

    strategies.

    5) Were digital literacies embedded into the lesson? If so, do you feel the use of digital

    literacies was a success? Why or why not?


    3

    Digital literacies were not the focus of this lesson and not largely embedded.

    However, given the nature of the lesson, digital literacies were involved

    adequately, by incorporating the use of technology for the students for whom

    it was necessary.

    6) If you were to teach the lesson again, what modifications would you make regarding

    digital literacies?

    One thing done in other classes that was not used today is Jamboard. This

    helps online friends to be even more engaged because they get to interact

    with in real time to the lesson being taught and skills being practiced.

    Digital Literacies Interview and Reflection

    For this assignment, I had to be a bit creative in a short amount of time. I had an

    out-of-town prior engagement from October 6th through the 9th and October 11th through

    the 15th is Fall Break for our district. I really wanted to make an effort to actually

    observe, though, rather than utilize supplementary videos. To do this, I got approval

    from my principal to virtually observe another teacher at my school while I travelled on

    the 6th.

    Reflections

    The lesson I observed was a Success for All (SFA) lesson, level 2.1, I believe. This class

    consisted of 1st-4th graders who read at a second grade, semester one level. As far as digital

    literacies go, the teacher observed displayed the majority ofmost of the technology use.

    StudentsFriends who were “Learning learning from Home home” needed to utilize their

    technology, but those in person did physical work rather than digital. Students at home used the

    chat box and other Google Meet functions adequately and they were urged to participate with

    others online to still gain from a cooperative learning environment. The main purpose was to

    help the online students friends remain a part of the class and engaged in the lesson.

    I think that integrating Integrating digital literacy needs to be done at varying levels

    dependent on the grade and purpose of the lessons being learned. While it is important, it is not

    always necessary depending on the overall learning objective. Based on what was observed and

    discussed with other facultymy colleague, I would say that each lesson we teach taught can

    always be refined and integrating more digital literacy components gets easier and easier every
    5

    day. In my own teaching practice, I must remain content with the fact that my lessons may not be

    perfect, but with time, I can build on them and work toward deepening the meaningful learning

    experiences while enhancing their digital competencies.
