  • According to a recent study of middle school science students and teachers, the teachers tended to have greater technology use.
  • Do school-age students fit the digital native profile? Do school-age students surpass their teachers in terms of technology use? What roles do teachers play in shaping students' technology experiences inside the classroom?
  • "In many ways," the researchers wrote, "it is determined by the requirements teachers place on their students to make use of new technologies and the ways teachers integrate new technologies in their teaching."

  • "School-age students may be fluent in using entertainment or communication technologies, but they need guidance to learn how to use these technologies to solve sophisticated thinking problems," Wang noted. "The school setting is the only institution that might create the needs to shape and facilitate students' technology experience. Once teachers introduce students to a new technology to support learning, they quickly learn how to use it."

  • Don’t view technology as just one more thing to add to your day.
  • If technology is something that you try to add after you have planned your reading, writing and math, you are destined to fail at “integrating” technology.
  • use technology when it allows you to do something in a better way than you have done before or to do something that was formerly impossible to do.

  • You can select a tool or app that will give your students an online audience for their learning and connect them with other classrooms and experts around the world. That tool may be as different as a classroom blog or Twitter or Skype.
  • My days with technology do NOT all run smoothly. Sometimes there are many stops and starts.
  • Sometimes a tool that I rely on will not work for some reason or other.
  • things don’t always run smoothly when I am teaching without technology either.
  • For anything that will become a learning routine in my early years classroom, whether it involves technology or not, I model, model, model it and then we practice it together until the students can do it independently.
  • Flexibility and a backup plan are important ingredients in any classroom, but particularly in a space that includes the use of technology.
  • My suggestion for people who are hesitant to use technology in significant ways is to start with one thing. Think of one way technology could enhance or deepen the learning in your classroom and then just try it. If you fumble and falter for a bit, keep trying.
  • To my six-year-old students, and in fact to all students in school today, computers, tablets, smart phones, interactive boards, etc. are not technology. They just are. It’s their teachers and parents who consider these items to be something new or unusual.
  • These tools have the power to become the stuff of teaching and learning if we will let them. Don’t think of them as technology. They are just part of the fabric of life around us. Students need to be shown how to use them to learn.
