A Must See Wheel on The Difference between Using Technology and Technology Integration ... - 0 views

  •  
    "There is a remarkable difference between using and interesting technology in education. Several teachers who think that they are integrating technology into their curriculum are simply using it because they still haven't questioned and identified the reasons behind using technology. Integrating technology is different  and as Kip Rogers writes in his wonderful book "Mobile Learning Devices ", I've also experienced schools and classrooms where: True integration of technology happens ... where technology is accessible and available for activities as they are initiated. True integration of technology happens when form supports function when the tools support the goals of the curriculum and assist students in reaching their instructional goals. It is not about technology, it is about what you can do with this technology that matters."

12 Ways To Integrate (Not Just Use) Technology In Education - 0 views

  •  
    "There are a couple dozen ways to 'use' technology in education. There are also a couple dozen ways to integrate technology in education. Think those two things are the same? Think that throwing a few iPads and a few Edudemic blog posts into a classroom is the best way to launch a 1:1 initiative? In case you couldn't guess, it's not. "

What's the Difference Between "Using Technology" and "Technology Integration"? | TeachB... - 0 views

  •  
    "Recently, I've been noticing that a lot of instructors are under the impression that they are successfully integrating technology, when in fact they are simply using technology. Although this might seem to some as just semantics, in my opinion there is a huge difference between the two - a difference that can be seen in the impact the technology usage has on student learning."

How does mobile learning support Teaching English as a Second Language? « Int... - 0 views

  •  
    Technology utilization in distance education has demonstrated its significance in the transfer of knowledge for both the instructors and the learners. This is also made possible through the use of the Internet which helps change the traditional teaching approaches into more modern methods when integrated with the pedagogical instruction. Mobile devices together with other forms of technology-based tools in education have established their potential in language teaching. In this regards, the Teaching of English as a Second Language (TESL) has become easier and more attractive via mobile learning. The aim of this study is to review the mobile-based teaching and learning in the English language classroom. Such integration of mobile learning with English language teaching may offer great innovations in the pedagogical delivery.

How to use QR codes in research and teaching - 0 views

  •  
    "Nowadays it is hard to not see QR codes printed in advertisements, on products, and everywhere else. QR codes are one of the biggest trends in marketing right now, and you might wonder: can QR codes be of any use for academics? I say yes, and I urge you to use your own QR code everywhere it makes sense. That is, whenever there is an opportunity to supply an offline audience with additional online information including, but not limited to, your personal webpage, a research paper that accompanies your talk, or web resources that supplement your lecture. This post is about the basics of why, where and how to use QR codes in your research and teaching. In addition, it will also suggest a few design tweaks that allow you to blend QR codes with the surrounding context (e.g., the keynote slide or a poster). And if you invest some time you can even closely integrate a QR code with your overall self-branding efforts."

Transformative Leadership with Web 2.0 is an assessment tool for school leaders to help identify level of engagement in becoming a Transformative Leader with Web 2.0. "

Six Essential Tools for Generation C - 0 views

  •  
    What are the essential tools to help the connected Generation C be successful? I bounce around the idea that in fact it may not be technology at all - rather, the vision of the integration of the new essential tools that promote connectivity. Perhaps the new educator mindset should really focus on the ability to re-tool the cognitive skills of Generation C to promote higher level thinking.

Easy Learning Technology Tools for Your Classroom - 0 views

  •  
    "Making the most of technology in the classroom ensures that lessons are more than just pages in a book or lines on a whiteboard; it brings them to life. That being said, teachers need to juggle many responsibilities over the course of a workweek, and simply don't have time for inefficient, time-consuming, or undependable technology. In order to even foster authentic learning experiences, first the logistics all have to line up. If you're messing with a complicated setup or fumbling your way through technology created with a poor user design, that's time that you're not spending with your pupils. It is possible to attain the best of both worlds, provided that you scout out the right technology tools to benefit your classroom. Learn more about technologies that are particularly feasible to integrate into your lesson plans below:"
