    This Website describes the technology integration at Stephen Decatur Elementary School in grades K-6.Its purpose is to inform professional elementary school teachers about how to integrate technology into most subject areas.In my opinion, it is simplistic and doesn't address higher order thinking skills. It is still old fashioned in that the lessons are mostly drill and practice without many chances for openended problem solving. There are no conclusions or results as this is just a basic page for displaying what one school uses in its technology curriculum. The site describes applications used. It doesn't list correlations to curriculum or standards.

    This is a virtual place for folks interested in learning to "operationalize TPACK" (Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge) via curriculum-based learning activity types ('ATs') to get up-to-date information, and (more importantly) participate in the vetting and refining of the activity types in each of the curriculum areas in which activity type development is happening. The curricula in which we are developing and refining learning activity type taxonomies appear on the left. Those that have taxonomies available for your perusal and feedback have links to other pages in this wiki. Links to online surveys to use to provide feedback are included on live curriculum area pages.

      It is imperative that integrating technology into the music classroom be aligned with the MENC Standards.
  • Immediately following the release of the National Standards for Music Education in 1994, MENC--The National Association for Music Education released Opportunity-to-Learn Standards for Music Instruction as a guide to what schools should provide to help students achieve both the National Standards for Music Education in grades K-12 and the MENC prekindergarten music education standards. MENC recommends that states either adopt these opportunity-to-learn standards or use them as a basis for developing their own. The standards challenge all who are committed to high-quality music instruction to work together to improve the teaching and learning of music in the nation's schools. The writers of the opportunity-to-learn standards were well aware that new technologies have an impact on the ways schools deliver music instruction. Throughout the text of those standards, there are references to computers, software, MIDI equipment, CD-ROMs, and other resources that are important to the world of the music teacher, as well as essential to the world of music outside the classroom. In the years since the publication of the opportunity-to-learn standards, technologies useful for music education (as for all education) have grown more capable, more varied, simpler to use, and certainly more ubiquitous.

    The MENC Task Force on Music Technology prepared this MENC article to report on the alignment of National Music Standards with technology integrationin schools.The audience for this site would be professional music educators.The rationaleprovides specific challenges for using technnology to aid in improving music instruction in schools. This site provides guidelines for technology integration for minimal and optimalalignment. It provides the lists for equipment, facilities, materials and equipment, curriculum and scheduling, and staffing. It doesn't give results, but provides insights and suggestions for the future.

  • hese champions, however, must be coordinated into a team that is established by policies and procedures—rather than ad hoc—within the school system
  • Having regular access to technology specialists during the planning process meant that teachers could feel more confident and supported when integrating technology.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • To answer these questions and begin formulating goals for professional learning, schools must collect data and complete a needs assessment about students and staff, capacity, and available resources
  • requent evaluation allows schools to readily address issues that may be affecting the efficacy of the intervention and then to refine goals and activities accordingly.
  • Once partners were selected, CITEd helped districts refine their goals, particularly when goals were too ambitious for a year-long intervention
  • Even when purchases are made with the best of intentions, the shift from the shelf to the classroom can be difficult. Many of the schools and districts selected as TIP sites had purchased software, often accompanied by extensive technology training for teachers. However, they were still struggling with getting the software into teaching practice.
  • Teachers may learn how to use a tool during a summer workshop, but unless the tool is directly linked to the curriculum and teachers are given ample time for experimentation, they will be unlikely to adopt it into their practice
  • teachers need basic technical knowledge about how to use a tool and knowledge about how to integrate the tool into their existing curriculum (CEO Forum, 2000). To achieve full-scale change, schools need to ensure that strong professional development programs are in place and that teachers have a variety of opportunities for learning and growth
  • methods used by TIP sites were examples of teacher-centered professional development—workshops and learning opportunities were structured to fit the needs, goals, and learning objectives of the teachers involved and grew and changed according to teacher needs
  • he literature shows that any new initiative will be more successful if it meshes well with existing programs

Education Week: A Special Report on Informal Science Education - 0 views

    As concern mounts that U.S. students lack sufficient understanding of science and related fields, it has become increasingly clear that schools can't tackle the challenge alone. This special report explores the field often called "informal science education," which is gaining broader recognition for its role in helping young people acquire scientific knowledge and skills. Opportunities abound outside the classroom to learn about science, and to inspire a passion for it. Zoos and science museums, robotics clubs, science competitions, and online games are just a few of the options to engage American youths. Education Week reporters examine what informal science education looks like in practice, and what we know about its impact, its potential, and the challenges it faces.
