  • Over time, I realized that I had become a technology mediator of sorts, someone with a pedagogical background, who helped guide faculty and students as they faced decisions regarding technology use in the classroom.

      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:

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.

8 Ways Technology Is Improving Education - 0 views

    • John Shaw
       
      This is a very true statement. For the younger generation is becoming more in to the world of computers.
  • Technology is helping teachers to expand beyond linear, text-based learning and to engage students who learn best in other ways. Its role in schools has evolved from a contained “computer class” into a versatile learning tool that could change how we demonstrate concepts, assign projects and assess progress.

      important to know when working with deaf children
  • Cochlear Implants Cochlear Implants help some deaf people hear, but they don’t work for all. Surgery is required. Part of the implant stays inside the body forever. Part of it is worn outside the body. Some deaf people with a CI can speak well because they practice speech and listening and hear many sounds. It is not the same as a behind-the-ear hearing aid. It does not make the “eee” sound when it is taken off or in use. How do cochlear implants work? Cochlear implants have a microphone, cord, speech processor, transmitting coil, electrode array, volume, and battery. They are very different from hearing aids. How are they different? The sounds come from a computer processor which acts like your middle and inner ear. You can hear music, environmental sounds, people talking, T.V., people calling your name.

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).

  • 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

Making Mathematics Come Alive With Technology - 0 views

  • Technology can serve at least four roles in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Specifically, technology can aid in (1) mathematical concept and skill development, (2) mathematical problem solving, (3) mathematical reasoning, and (4) mathematical communication (Kimmins, 1995; Kimmins and Bouldin, 1996).

STOP cyberbullying: What is cyberbullying, exactly? - 0 views

  • "Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones
  • The methods used are limited only by the child's imagination and access to technology
  • Children have killed each other and committed suicide after having been involved in a cyberbullying incident
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Cyberbullying is usually not a one time communication, unless it involves a death threat or a credible threat of serious bodily harm. Kids usually know it when they see it, while parents may be more worried about the lewd language used by the kids than the hurtful effect of rude and embarrassing posts.
  • Cyberbullying may rise to the level of a misdemeanor cyberharassment charge, or if the child is young enough may result in the charge of juvenile delinquency
  • It typically can result in a child losing their ISP or IM accounts as a terms of service violation. And in some cases, if hacking or password and identity theft is involved, can be a serious criminal matter under state and federal law.
  • When schools try and get involved by disciplining the student for cyberbullying actions that took place off-campus and outside of school hours, they are often sued for exceeding their authority and violating the student's free speech right.
  • Schools can be very effective brokers in working with the parents to stop and remedy cyberbullying situations
