    This article talks a lot about having laptops instead of desktops. I think this is one way that Henrico County stands out...because of our lapotp initiative. However...are we using the technology to benefit the students the best that we can?

    Just a small look at what I've done with my weblog in history class. It's been awhile since I've used it. Virtual share has been my major tool lately.
  • anonymous on 31 May 10
     
    This is a great way to use a blog to support your students...having them post their learning as comments allows them to share their ideas and learning with the whole class rather than just the teacher. What's Virtual Share?
  • Mylene Melson on 07 Jun 10
     
    VirtualShare is a server in Henrico County that we use to share files with our students and they can drop their files to us. Very soon Henrico will drop that in favor of SchoolSpace (a division of Angel which I believe was bought out by Blackboard).

    SInce we are in SOL testing right now, I thought this would be a good site to share with math and science teachers. The "more options" is great because students can concentrate on their weakest strands.

    We have the capability to do this in Henrico with SchoolSpace but have yet to take it to the level that North Carolina has. I would like to see HCPS leading the way with online credit courses for struggling students.

    Garry, We do offer online English and History classes through a program called Compass Learning for struggling students. It is new this year and seems to working well.

  • Shannon Mejia on 09 Jul 10
     
    I liked how the author posed the question: "Will you expand your mind and increase your creativity more by talking to people just like you or with people who are different?" It is so true. In order to expand your mind and learn about different things it's necessary to go and explore areas of the unknown .

    Here is an interesting article on cell phone use in the classroom. Is it really realistic to ban them at the door? This article gives ideas on how they can be used in instruction.
  • Mylene Melson on 11 Jul 10
     
    One of the reasons for banning cell phones is the cheating that occurs with texting. This year we were required (by the state) to take up cell phones for the End Of Course tests for our SOLs. Now about the article... I liked some of the suggestions on the use of cellphones but you would need a classroom set like the class in this article to be successful. I know that teachers have always worked beyond contract time with planning and grading but with this technology comes the expection of even more from us because now we would have to monitor acceptable use 24/7.

#Vanmeter Schools Transforming the Educational System: Student Post- "It is Exciting to... - 1 views

  • But this year, my junior year, that all changed. No, Van Meter Community High School didn’t get a new lunch menu. It began the one to one program and entrusted its students with their own personal MAC laptops. More importantly though, our teachers and administrators gave us the opportunity to be apart of what has become the beginning of an educational movement! Similar to a tidal wave to the face or a nice cold Coca Cola on a hot, Iowa summer day, students at Van Meter felt the refreshing impact that the computers had on us. Suddenly, I was excited to come to school again. I wanted to see what our teachers could do with the new technology handed to them and I was eager to learn something. What a crazy thought! No longer was I dragging my feet and wondering when oh when would that bell finally ring to signal it was 3:15.

    I thought this was just a friendly reminder how lucky Henrico County is to have so much technology at its fingertips!!!

  • Strong evidence to the contrary suggests that effective use of technology is helping teachers bring lessons to life.
    • Garry Marshall
      Garry Marshall on 08 Jul 10
       
      We all need to remain critical of whether or not our lessons are truly engaging. Adding technology doesn't make it enriching and engaging automatically.

    Technology provides ways to enrich instruction. yada yada
  • Mylene Melson on 11 Jul 10
     
    "Effective" is the word that caught my attention is this article. For us to use technology effectively in an enriching and engaging manner, we need effective staff development. Most of these articles assume that the motivated teacher is going to find the time to learn this on his/her own. Not everyone is like that. I'd like to start concentrating on finding articles on effective staff development.

  • The interactive whiteboards that were meant to radicalise our teaching have been proven to make no real difference, other than encouraging the kind of didactic, front-of-class teaching that is supposed to induce the least learning in our charges

    Article discussing pitfalls of classroom technology use.
  • Shannon Mejia on 09 Jul 10
     
    I've also witnessed the use of the interactive whiteboards. The teacher stood at the front of the room and clicked on items that she had prepared on her computer while the students sat and listened just as they would during a regular lecture. It was just nicer to look at.
  • anonymous on 12 Jul 10
     
    This is the perfect example of the intersection of pedagogy and technology: if pedagogy doesn't change (ie, teacher presentation as a primary means of instruction), then technology will be used to support that. I do know a few teachers who said that maybe they brought kids to the board more, but most of them already had students come up when they had a chalkboard so it wasn't that much of a stretch.

    • Garry Marshall
      Garry Marshall on 08 Jul 10
       
      I disagree here. Technology can and should be used as a reward - as long as the technology activity reinforces content, then why can't it also be enjoyable (Quia, etc)?

    I read and commented on the article above and mentioned staff development and this article had it! I liked this article because he thinks like I do! I agree with Garry... technology substitution is something that probably many of us are guilty of doing. I am going to take a hard look at my lessons so that I stay away from that.

technology Virginia interview

shared by Kelly Jessup on 02 Jun 10 - Cached
  • Traditional textbooks have served us well, especially for me as a beginning teacher, because the textbook was the curriculum. The concept of looking at different ways to deliver textbooks could be as simple as putting it online or making it able to be viewed on an iPad or similar device. It could be more complex by including lots of multimedia and other interactive resources. But fundamentally, even experienced teachers are looking to textbooks for guidance on what to teach, what the content should be, and what the process should be. In developing electronic textbooks, you have to hold onto those concepts. The textbook is a teacher’s guideline and roadmap. Any of the multimedia and enhanced materials that you can include to enliven instruction would attest to that.
  • We can energize students with technology, and there’s a lot of gold to be panned in exploring many new teaching methods
  • OER would allow many opportunities and latitude to have really good and engaging instruction. The sharing of resources and best practices would help teachers do other things to enhance the learning of not only mainstream kids, but gifted students too. Struggling students can use these resources to review content in other formats or at different paces.
