Technology Integration: What Experts Say | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Educators and researchers share their views on why technology integration is an important strategy for 21st century classrooms.
    • Ale Reyes
       
      Our learners today are trapped in these tech era, in which we are the Digital Immigrants and our perspective, openness and technology flexibility is different. Understanding the needs and interest of our students will motivate and inspire their learning path!
  • The first thing the teacher needs to do is to understand what kids do and the range of it; she has to understand what her own children do.

  • Then you have a boss, which is a test, and you pass the test. (Games are) part of the solution of getting kids in school to learn not just knowledge as facts, but knowledge as something you produce. And in the modern world, you produce collaboratively."
  • Let them teach you how they engage with games and other digital media. Let them talk about it, reflect on it, because this is very good for their learning.
    • Ale Reyes
       
      These article highlights that our students need to focus on the learning process and then the technology tools selected to make the creation. That teachers are an important piece for students learning analysis and knowledge acquisition.
  • The second thing you can do is that you can find the resources and other people all over the web who are using a variety of digital tools in different settings and schools. Your setting might be very restrictive, or your setting might be very liberal, but you can go and find other people out there doing it."
  • Despite the popularity of the term "digital native," we should not assume that our students know how to use technology to create quality projects that show deep understanding of content.
  • herefore, technology integration may not look the way we want it to until our students move beyond familiarity with tools and into being able to choose the correct tool for the job.
  • "We cannot expect our students to jump in and create a meaningful piece of work that shows their applied understanding of a concept using a tech tool if we do not give them time to really explore not only the content, but the tool itself.

Technology Integration in Education | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Effective technology integration is achieved when its use supports curricular goals. It must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts.
  • Through the intelligent use of technology, combined with new approaches to education, a more personalized style of learning can be realized.
  • Educators and researchers share their views on why technology integration is an important strategy for 21st century classrooms.

Inclusion in the 21st-century classroom: Differentiating with technology - Reaching eve... - 0 views

  • Overcoming obstacles to effective differentiation
  • Many of the obstacles to implementing differentiated instruction can be overcome with the effective use of technology. Teachers who feel ill-prepared to address the diverse needs of their students, for example, have ready access to more options than ever before as a result of the wide range of software and hardware tools available. Technology can equip teachers to address students’ needs in an almost limitless number of ways, through content input, learning activities, and opportunities to demonstrate comprehension. And because many students come to the learning environment with a predisposition for using it seamlessly, technology can become an intermediary that bridges the relationship between teacher and student,

  • Teachers act more as facilitators, which allows for more individual attention to students who need attention and might otherwise behave inappropriately as a result.13
  • Before making the decision to use a particular technology for a particular lesson, teachers should first make decisions about the learning goals, activities, and assessments that will shape the learning experience. During the process of making these decisions, teachers can more easily envision opportunities to integrate one or more technologies.
  • Digital textbooks, both online and CD-based, offer options for accessing the same content at different levels of complexity. The digital format offers an advantage over traditional textbooks because digital publications can incorporate time-based and interactive media directly within the text.
  • Successful technology integration, however, relies on intelligent planning. Teachers must understand those variables they cannot control — students’ readiness, interest, and learning profile. Planning should begin by acknowledging those variables and understanding the learning goals. The selection of technology follows as a natural result, as teachers select appropriate tools for manipulating those variables they can control — content, process, product, and environment. Differentiated instruction designed with these principles in mind ensures classrooms that are rich centers of learning for all students.

Academic Accommodations for Students with Learning Disabilities - 0 views

  • types of learning disabilities;
  • poken language—listening and speaking. Written language—reading, writing, and spelling. Arithmetic—calculation and mathematical concepts. Reasoning—organization and integration of ideas and thoughts.
  • Auditory perception and processing—the student may have difficulty processing information communicated through lectures or class discussions. He or she may have difficulty distinguishing subtle differences in sound or knowing which sounds to attend to.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Abstract reasoning—the student may have difficulty understanding the context of subjects such as philosophy and logic, which require high level reasoning skills. Memory (long—term, short-term)-the student may have difficulty with the storing or recalling of information during short or long time periods.
  • Use captioned videos and know how to turn on the captioning feature. Although captioned videos are typically used for students who are deaf, they also help some students with learning disabilities and those for whom English is a second language, by ensuring content is presented visually and audibly. Give all students an opportunity to view a video multiple times (e.g., by making it available in a library or learning center, or on a website).
  • As the number of individuals being diagnosed with learning disabilities has increased, so have the understanding and utilization of academic and technological strategies
  • Spoken and written language—the student may have difficulty with spelling (e.g., mixing up letters) or with speaking (e.g., reversing words or phrases).
  • Design distance learning courses with accessibility in mind. For example, avoid real-time chat sessions, because not all students can type quickly or accurately enough to fully participate.
