De Blasio to Announce 10-Year Deadline to Offer Computer Science to All Students - The ... - 0 views

  •  
    This article peaked my interest: Within the next ten years, de Blasio is requiring all of the city's public schools to offer computer science for all students.These courses will only be offered as electives. The main concern for this is finding enough teachers that are properly trained and training others. Computer science jobs are among the fastest growing. They are also the some of the highest paying jobs.  Computer sciences are primarily dominated by white or Asian males. With these courses being available to all students in elementary schools, hopefully the number of minorities and girls who will be interested will increase.

UNC-Greensboro wins $7.7M grant for technology integration, STEM teacher training - Gre... - 0 views

  •  
    UNC-Greensboro won a massive grant of $7.7 million that will go towards technology integration. The article appealed to me because I am a math major, and the money is specifically meant for training future educators in the fields of science, technology and engineering and math. In my opinion, this is a big step in other schools possibly winning similar large grants. Additionally, it shows the recognition of large schools taking part in technology integration.

'Madden NFL' makes a play for the classroom - 1 views

  •  
    Math and Science students are now using the Madden NFL game for the classroom. Being a division 1 AA football player and now coach of the game, this learning tool is something I would definitely love to use in the classroom and for myself! Electronic Arts will work with NFL Players Association and Discovery Education on a program called EA Sports Madden NFL: Football By The Numbers. The program is for 5th and 9th graders to teach them Math and Science skills. The program will combine football concepts with math and science principles including physics and probability. Different opportunities will be accessible for the kids as well. Students can take field trips to EA Sports Tiburon studio in Orlando to watch the creation of the Madden NFL. NFL players are hopping on board too. NFL players will help promote the program and develop awareness of the learning opportunities. Being a fan of this game, this is very good news. Not only is it incredible that they are using it for academic reasons but I believe accessing knowledge for gaming creation will benefit the game in their future. Every Madden game gets more realistic each year, allowing children to gain greater knowledge of how this system works will increase the future endeavors for the company.

ISTE | Don't miss these 7 inspiring teacher reads - 1 views

  •  
    I found this article to be extremely helpful and sort of fun! Its a summer reading list for teachers to help us learn and understand technology and how we can integrate it into our classrooms. Who said teachers could not have summer reading lists as well?
  •  
    I enjoyed this article because it brought the topic of computer science within the school classroom to light. Computer science is a field sky rocketing in terms of opportunities. There are always jobs available for these types of professions and the industry keeps growing because of the high demand for technological advancement. The idea of training our students so that they are somewhat comfortable with the common computer applications also exposes them to a new world because many students specifically women have little to no interest in such an important and growing field because they've never experience it.

  •  
    Tayne Martin, is an educator and World of Warcraft aficionado, stating that boys make up 80 percent of  the computer classes at her school, and very few girls enroll in AP Computer Science. Girls are gamers too.  Martin, who is coordinator of the Professional Development Support Division at Broward Schools in Florida, is part of a team presenting the ISTE Professional Learning Series webinar "Girls, Games, and Coding" on Thursday. The reason to combine games and coding is simple: There is a clear relationship between gaming and technology.

8 Classrooms Uses for Holographic Technology - 0 views

  •  
    This article explains what holographic technology is and how it can be possibly be used in classrooms in the future. Microsoft has created products that allowed used to interact with 3D images, and while not available as of yet, have impressive applications for a classroom setting. For example, this futuristic technology would allow students to virtually conduct science experiments that would otherwise be too difficult or expensive to conduct in real life. The learning process as a whole could be greatly improved with the use of holographic technology.

      Reading and writing, along with math and science, take president in our school systems today. With the arts disappearing in our school systems, soon students are not going to have anything to read or write about.
  • Students need time to celebrate motion and their bodies and their kinesthetic sense. It will lead them to better study sessions and better testing. And students learn a lot of important life skills during play, out on the playground and in those social settings.”
  • “I think one of the things we’re starting to understand is that technology is an amplifier of our gifts and talents, not a replacement for them,” Carroll said. “Look at all the dimensions it can bring. It can be a wonderful amplification of what you love.

      Perfectly stated.
  • And that may be the important mission of all for teachers in the digital age: to help students learn to use technology meaningfully in pursuit of their passions.
  • Educators have got to be some of the most passionate people on the planet. Take one look at the way they pour themselves into helping others, and it’s hard to imagine a profession more infused with passion.
  • “If you’re getting up every morning for a reason that inspires you, it shifts your energy immediately every day,” he said in a recent interview. “There are plenty of brain studies that show that when you’re lighting up the frontal lobe with inspiration, when you’re getting lit up, you know it. How do we tap into that more?

JOTS v26n1 - Current Trends in Technology Education in Finland - 1 views

  •  
    It is an old tradition in Finland to teach a school subject dealing with the use of machines, materials, processes, techniques, and tools. Since 1866, educational sloyd (handicraft) has been a compulsory school subject for both boys and girls. In the technology teacher education program at the Department of Teacher Education in Rauma, University of Turku, students are able to take the curriculum for either one or two teaching subjects. In addition to technology education, a second teaching subject, such as an elementary education or mathematics, entitles them to teach in primary school as an elementary or mathematics teacher. In the technology teacher education program, students study a variety of technologies, mechanical and electrical engineering, product design, project studies, research methodology and statistics, educational sciences and ethics, developmental psychology, didactics of technology education, administration, evaluation, and sociology of education.
