      I think it's great that he uses blogging in his classroom and allows his students to express their creativity. I think this helps students explore and realize that they do indeed have creativity.

      This teacher sounds amazing. I can't imagine having to read the blogs of hundreds of students and responding to them all in addition to the rest of the required curriculum. As usual, there are so many outside-the-box teaching opportunities for subjects like history, english, and science, but I struggle finding those opportunities within my subject, math. Thanks for sharing.

      Obviously, comparisons will be made between the short throw projector and an interactive whiteboard. If you had a choice, which would you prefer in your classroom/office?
  • vincent briseno on 07 Oct 12
     
    Too often, technology in the classroom centers around teacher use. This is technology teachers and students will want to use.
  • R. Palomares on 15 Oct 12
     
    If I had a choice I would definitely prefer the EPSON ultra soft interactive projector because it seems like it has more features than the interactive whiteboard. It seems easy to use, demonstrate, and adapt to everyday lessons.

    I would definitely prefer the EPSON interactive projector. I currently use a Smartboard with a regular DELL projector, it takes a lot of classroom space to use the equipment. This new interactive projector takes minimal space and seems to work great!

      Look at the positive impact technology has in education. All administrators should take a look at this and consider.

    Wow, it's impressive how they did the 10 year study that concluded how students who were provided with technology environments very well on standardized tests. According to this, the rise on test scores and student motivation is evident when a technology environment is provided.

    This website offers up-to-date information of not only the latest educational tools but most importantly their impact in changing the learning environment. Please take a look at some of the best practices I have highlighted and share your views on what are some challenges you feel educators will experience as more technology is implemented in your curriculum.

    Jaime, thanks for the video. I really enjoyed how they viewed the 3-D lessons. Viewing the internal organs of the frog were neat. Our science students would be so much more engaged and have a better understanding identifying the organs by using a program like this. Again, great info to share.

    I-Pads are the newest popular gadgets in demand. I agree that their use in our schools has proven to be an efficient avenue for improving academic skills for students especially our most challenging students (e.g., special populations). The I-pads have also empowered our teachers to adapt technology to assist them and help support of the advancing students' learning. I am in agreement with Vincent that the price hinders the availabilty to all students. Perhaps we need to do more research on Vincent's comment about the use other tablets.

    I was excited to learn how 3D is being incorporated into the classroom. This 3D enhances students' learnign especially for the ADHD and dyslexic child. They are engaged in the learning and the students find it fun. The teacher was please with the ease of using the application in the classroom. Technology is truly fascinating.

      I think this is great!
  • Only when we get students out of the paper and pencil learning and get them immersed in real world application, will we be able to educate students so that they can not only collect data, but analyze and interpret those resuts as well; therefore creating students who are critical thinkers!

      I think this is the most common place in which we all tend to get stuck. Often, we get excited about trying something new in the classroom, but when we try it the first time, we run into glitches. That is when we go back to the old "safe" ways. We need to find ways as MTTs to help others overcome the fear that we feel when we first fail.
  • Doing old things in old ways
  • This trend is important, but it's hardly new -- it will be new only when those courses, curricula, and lesson plans are very different and technology influenced, when they are set up so they can be found and mixed and matched easily, when they are continually iterated and updated, and when the kids have a big say in their creation.

      This is really important. If teachers just use the technology to teach the same way they have always been teaching, then we will not see much change in the way that students feel about school. Technology needs to transform the way we teach!!!
  • So, let's not just adopt technology into our schools. Let's adapt it, push it, pull it, iterate with it, experiment with it, test it, and redo it, until we reach the point where we and our kids truly feel we've done our very best. Then, let's push it and pull it some more. And let's do it quickly, so the 22nd century doesn't catch us by surprise with too much of our work undone.

      This is really rather an important concept. Think about this. We have so much trouble getting kids to work in teams - and here they are self-creating teams and working together to reach a common goal. How can we take this and integrate it into the classroom? Is PBL a way to do this?
  • Corina Carmona on 30 Jan 12
     
    At our school district, students log onto the network using their own account on any terminal within the district, in which they can keep individual files. Although they can't permanently personalize any computer I do always see them changing wallpapers every now and then. Integrating technology into the classroom will have to be more than a method or means. It must go beyond access and utilization. I believe students will have achieved true integration whey they have created something or honed a skill using technology as a tool.
  • janie martinez on 31 Jan 12
     
    In the article Shaping Tech For the Classroom, it lays out a visual representation of what is happening in our classrooms throughout our district. While we are trying to keep up with the latest technology, it seems that most teachers are still at a loss as to what should be happening in the classroom with the technology available to us. At the moment, many teachers at our campus have a smart board, student computers with internet access, class response clickers, projectors, EKI machines, digital cameras and new gadget called KINEO that our district Migrant department has provided to our Migrant students. This apparatus is supposed to help our migrant students in leveling their knowledge of math, reading and science skills throught the program WEBACHIEVER. We have had this gadges in our library for about two months and have been used only once because no on has been trained as how to use them. I can say that Donna ISD has done a very good job at providing opportunities for us teachers to get technology savvy but unfortunate, not many have taken that opportunity. We have even had the opportunity to complete technology staff development in our pajamas. As a result of these initiatives by our district, it is safe to say that our district is in the right direction as far as providing us the technology and advancing software that is available to students and teachers. Through MTT Donna right Technology Grant, more teachers will become masters at providing the right tools so that teachers can change their attitudes towards technology. However more training and accountability needs to be in place in order to assure that the technology is being used correctly so our students can compete in the real world.
