The Classroom » Using Diigo for Organizing the Web for your Class - 0 views

  • I go to a play that I’d like to my students to record and highlight the old commercial. If they’re using diigo when they access this page they’ll see the same text highlighted in pink, and when they mouse over the highlighted text they’ll get a hidden message from me – “I’d like you to write a new advertisement for this section
  • You can ask questions about the site, or have students carry on conversations about the text.
  • You could use the same webpage for multiple classes, and have a different set of sticky notes for each one!

Technology Integration Matrix - 2 views

  •  
    The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.

Technology Integration Begins with a Perceptive Principal « User Generated Ed... - 0 views

  • “We didn’t know what we didn’t know about technology.”  In her wisdom of human nature and systemic change, she realizes that teachers will integrate technology at their own rate and in their own style. 
  • It is a wild ride . . . technology integration being more fun than I ever expected.

eLearn: Best Practices - How to Help Teachers Use Technology in the Classroom - 0 views

  • According to the 5Js, technology-related teacher professional development should be: job-related, focused on the core competencies of the classroom, not technology just enough, emphasizing increased comfort, not proficiency, with computers and management of limited technology resources just in time, meaning teacher are provided with skills as and when needed just in case teachers need to plan for contingencies accompanied by a "just try it" attitude, wherein instructors apply both pressure and support to compel teachers to use what they've learned.

    Very powerful video. I have been making arguments against many of those assumptions for years:)
