      This article is great because it incorporates very useful data regarding technology in classrooms. As a result, it is quantitatively useful! Additionally, it shows the perspective of a teacher, therefore making it also qualitative and relatable.

  • Access to the Internet connects kids to all kinds of information — and for low-income students especially, that access has the power to change their social structure by allowing them to become empowered and engaged, said Michael Mills,
  • The Internet is about empowerment. If we take away this access because we think certain people aren’t going to use it right, we’re no better than governments who take away voting rights from minorities.”
  • ow-income students’ test scores increased by 30 percent after they were given smartphones to access more information and instruction and to collaborate with their peers.

  • the simple act of students using their coveted devices for study purposes makes learning more acceptable to them and to their peers.
  • it’s becoming more socially acceptable to talk about school stuff outside school because of that device. When they text or tweet about it, somehow it crosses the boundary of becoming okay. It’s not exactly cool yet, but all of a sudden it’s becoming okay.”
  • or those who don’t feel comfortable giving students their phone numbers, Mills suggests using a Google voice account, which students can call and leave messages.

      I like this LIttel Earth online newspaper because students get to know about current events that are affecting their world.  it's an international newspaper for kids, so students are connected with all the world.
  • What it is: Our Little Earth is a great international online newspaper for kids.  It is delivered every two weeks directly to email and best of all, it is free!  Past editions of Our Little Earth can be found on the site for students to read and explore.  Each issue helps students stay informed about what current events are happening in the world around them.  Every edition has a map showing students where the news came from for the issue.  The articles are easy for students to read and do a great job of offering enough background information so that students can make connections to the text and better understand it.

  • Technology fluency transcends devices, apps and programs. It implies that a student can quickly, accurately and deliberately communicate, collaborate and create across platforms. In Thomas Friedman's book The World is Flat, he made it abundantly clear that we are currently preparing students for jobs that do not yet exist. If we think about it, they will also need to employ technology that has not yet been created. By supporting the development of students' technology fluency, we are preparing them to become digital learners who are able to construct new tools and objects, communicate ideas and solve new problems.

  • eportfolios in education stems from the fact that they  enhance students overall  learning and provide them with a chance to showcase their academic work to their peers, parents or the whole school.
  • e-portfolios make classroom learning more accessible to parents, teachers and administrators They provide a window into student learning They showcase both student achievement and student learning over time They provide additional assessment information beyond what can be collected from traditional letter grade
  • e-portfolios  increase student engagement, promote a continuing conversation about learning between teachers, parents, and students, and extend academic lessons beyond school walls

  • You still need to plan the objectives of the lesson, but you can leave the activity unplanned. Start the lesson with a discussion  about the goals and objectives you want students to be working towards that day. Then, see where the conversation leads you!
  • Allow students to share their creativity by working on open-ended and mostly unstructured work. This can really help to target different learning types, as each student can choose what works best for them. Some may work in small groups, while others choose to work alone. At the end, each student or group should share their creation with the class. This makes for interesting presentations as the class is treated to a variety of skits, stories, newscast videos, or informational posters. The sky (and student imagination) should be the limit!

  • 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.

      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!

  • 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."

      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.
