Why Use Technology in the Science Classroom? | Education.com - 0 views

  • As Ediger’s (1994) studies on Technology in the Elementary Classroom have revealed, applying technology in the classroom does several things to student learning: (1) It increases interest even in rote tasks; (2) it provides purpose for learning; (3) it can attach meaning to an ongoing lesson; (4) it provides opportunities to perceive knowledge as being related, not isolated bits; (5) it allows for individual student differences; and (6) it can affect students’ attitudes toward learning.

      This school is using technology to help the students but supporting the students is their main role at The Philadelphia School in Philadelphia, PA.
  • Last year I left the art classroom, devoting myself to helping other teachers and students mindfully navigate the use of digital technology in classrooms throughout the school.  I remain less a techie than an educator who keeps the students – not the technology – at the center of all we do at The Philadelphia School.

Journal of Chemical Education Online: About JCE : Features : Feature - 0 views

  • The aim of this feature column is to provide insight about the educational changes that can result from technological developments, especially the evolution of interactive education based on multimedia.In classrooms and laboratories throughout the world, rapidly advancing information technologies are changing the face of education in chemistry. This column deals with educational changes that can result from technological developments, including interactive on-line approaches and the integration of multimedia materials. Such education may involve the use of technology in a variety of settings, from the traditional lecture hall or laboratory to virtual or distributed classrooms. Instructional and information technologies have, in some cases, made entirely new educational environments and practices possible. Technology may be used to communicate interactively and in real-time with students who are off-campus, perhaps in other states or countries. Multimedia can be used on-line in homework or exam situations to probe conceptual understanding and aid in the visualization of microscopic chemical phenomena. As these changes occur in chemical education, it is critical to guide them by answering questions such as:

  • A teacher/instructor/professor obviously plays numerous roles in a traditional classroom: role model, encourager, supporter, guide, synthesizer.
    • Eric Calvert
       
      What other roles can you think of that teachers might play?
    • Eric Calvert
       
      Coach, babysitter.
  • This model works well when we can centralize both the content (curriculum) and the teacher
  • Technological networks have transformed prominent businesses sectors: music, television, financial, manufacturing. Social networks, driven by technological networks, have similarly transformed communication, news, and personal interactions. Education sits at the social/technological nexus of change

Earlychildhood NEWS - Article Reading Center - 0 views

  • We are always looking for the magic bullet, something that will solve all our problems. And, today this magic bullet for education is technology. It will solve all our problems! It will increase academic skills, reduce dropout rates, eliminate the racial divide in academic performance, and increase SAT scores. And it will make the lives of teachers easier. Well, it may not accomplish all of these goals, but educational technology does have a place in early childhood. Right? It depends on an early childhood program’s overall program goals and objectives, and the program’s goals and objectives for each student. And it depends on how computers are incorporated into the early childhood curriculum (Haugland, 2000).
