Education Week Teacher: Redefining Instruction With Technology: Five Essential Steps - 1 views

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 08 May 12 - No Cached
  • First, I had to learn a hard lesson: Just bringing new technology in your classroom and working it into day-to-day routines isn’t enough. The iPads arrived two days before my students, and I quickly made plans to integrate them into our curriculum. Despite my high hopes, the next two months were less than successful. A casual observer would have witnessed a sea of students glued to glistening tablets, but the effects were superficial. The iPads were not helping my students make substantial progress toward self-efficacy, academic achievement, or social-emotional growth. Around the end of September, I took a step back—it was time to evaluate and reflect on what was happening. I asked myself: "What have we been doing so far with this technology?" Students used math apps instead of math card games. They’d made slideshow presentations for isolated units. They’d done some research on the Internet. In short, things were going ... OK. Nothing to write home about. Not what I would consider "worthy" of a $20,000 grant. Clearly it was time for a change. The problem, I began to realize, was my own understanding of how the iPads should be utilized in the classroom. I had seen them as a supplement to my pre-existing curriculum, trying to fit them into the structure of what I’d always done. This was the wrong approach: To truly change how my classroom worked, I needed a technology-based redefinition of my practice.

    Fab read. I've only highlighted a few paragraphs... then it goes into concrete ways to improve tech integration using the example of the iPad. ---- "n: Just bringing new technology in your classroom and working it into day-to-day routines isn't enough.

Finally! A Book Creator App | Langwitches Blog - 1 views

  • Once completed, the book was sent to iBooks, ready to be synced with our classroom set of iPads and for the rest of their teachers and classmates to read. Both children were very excited and proud of their work. I was also able to see how many words in English they had already learned as they were describing the images to me and “helped” with the translation
  • Book Creator  is an app that “finally” allows to anyone to create a book by staying completely within the iPad environment. It is an app that takes the concept of transformative teaching and learning to heart. I can envision many more uses for teachers and students.

  • The iPads are finally set up and ready to go into the classrooms! It happened to be our first graders who were the first ones to get their hands on them!
  • A few days ago, I tested and reviewed a great new app: Book Creator
  • The first time, I brought the iPads into the class, we spent time talking about the care and handle of the devices. When picking the iPad up from the teacher we reminding them to carry the iPad with two hands to their desk set them down as quietly as possible don’t hold the iPad from the SmartCover don’t walk around the classroom with an iPad in your hand no pulling, showing or tugging on someone else’s iPad
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • It was important to also introduce “iPad” vocabulary to our first graders, so we would all be able to use a common language when instructing or asking questions. We introduced this first time the following lingo: Home button screen swiping sliding tap apps icons pinch in/ pinch out front camera back camera

  • I am NOT interested in using the iPad with my students as a worksheet substitution! Kill and drill apps on the iPad are still just that… kill and drill activities. I want my students to : use apps to create, not just consume fluently pick apps that will serve their purpose fluently switch between apps, then insert, embed, share and disseminate their creations We have to expose students to a variety of apps to help them gain skills in iPad Fluency By fluency I mean the ability to: connect tasks effortless together (ex.creating and editing a video, then uploading, embedding and disseminating on several platforms) CREATE and then being able to COMMUNICATE- the ability to create and communicate your creation is one of the main characteristics of fluency record, edit and then publish a movie that automatically posts to my blog take an image…edit…then automatically post to my photo stream as well as embed into a blog post work within several apps, then remix content from each one by being able to import them from one app to another.
