INTC 2610

I've often wondered how flipped learning works for students without internet access, and this article addresses that issue well. This is useful for INTC because we will be incorporating technology not all of our students will have access to, and we must be prepared with backup plans to handle these situations. Always be prepared!

This is a wonderful article about the stages of tech incorporation for English teachers. It's often difficult for us to make the connection, but this article makes wonderful suggestions!

Technology can be integrated into language courses to help students with their listening and comprehension skills.Teachers can use Audio and VideoPrograms to have students differentiate between accents and slow down speech if it is not their native language to help break it down. Online Activities and ebooks allow for programs to be interactive with student and is a great resource for reinforcement and remediation. The internet has so much to offer wit tons of variety and different teaching methods. Overall, technology allows for higher order thinking, contributes to student motivation, mastery of basic skills. 

This article can be helpful to our group because it explains the positive and negative effects of technology integration. It also reiterates how integrating technology can be proactive and ways it will have the opposite effect. This article states the importance of being familiar with new technology and reading this made me very appreciative of our class here at Stockton.

This article is helpful to us considering we are all aspiring teachers. I'm sure we will all have the opportunity to attend this convention so this can contribute to our experience during that time. Also, who knows how advanced technology will be by that time so there is more of a chance we could have a 10x better experience!

Technology integration is the use of technology resources like computers, mobile devices like and tablets, digital cameras, social media platforms and networks, software applications, the Internet, and so on in daily classroom practices, and in the management of a school. This article discusses the successful ways you can incorporate this into the classrooms for your students.

This article has many different points and examples of technology integration. They start off by defining technology and quoting "Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and synthesize the information, and present it professionally. The technology should become an integral part of how the classroom functions -- as accessible as all other classroom tools." When effectively integrated into the curriculum, technology tools can extend learning in powerful ways. The article also brushes up on types of technology integration, such as online learning, blended classrooms, project based activities incorporating technology, game based learning and assessment, Learning with Mobile and Handheld Devices, Instructional Tools like Interactive Whiteboards and Student Response Systems, Web-Based Projects, Explorations, and Research, Student-Created Media like Podcasts, Videos, or Slideshows, Collaborative Online Tools like Wikis or Google Docs, Using Social Media to Engage Students, and the levels of technology.

I like that this article is very detailed in how to effectively use technology in the classroom. According to the article, technology incorporation should be seamless, second-nature. The way we use pen and paper today should be the way technology is used. We don't stop to think about how to use the pen and paper in a class; ideally, the same thing should be happening in blended classrooms.

Andrew Marcinek Director of Technology and EducatorU.org Co-founder, Boston, MA An acceptable use policy is a document that is present in every school district around the country. The purpose of this policy is to provide safe parameters for exploring digital resources and using school-issued devices properly. The article talks about the importance of developing internet use guidelines that students can understand by avoiding overly complicated words that may confuse or intimidate students. These guidelines should focus on how students should use the technology rather than focusing on what they should not be doing. The article also focuses on the importance of involving parents and helping them understand how their children should be using technology. Furthermore, the article mentions the importance of being aware of the new apps and their implications in the lives of students. This allows school districts to stay one step ahead and decide whether or not they want students to have access to these apps.

I read and book marked the article "What NOT to do on the first day of class". I thought it was extremely cute and creative as well as amusing. The video is made using young children to make it absolutely hysterical, but also relate-able and extremely true.

This is an article specifically about the integration of Apple technology into a Physics classroom. This is particularly interesting because you can plan out an entire course with all materials included on one application.

This short article researched the attitudes of teachers familiar with technology vs teachers who were not as familiar, and compared the attitudes of the two. As expected, those more familiar with technology had a better attitude towards integrating into the classroom. It was said the attitudes of teachers directly affected students'. 

This article highlights the importance a personal learning network can have on the success of a teacher. Like Mrs.Wendt this article stresses a PLN as a vital tool to help learn from others and become a better teacher to your students, which we all are striving to be in the future. The article gives 5 reasons why educators should network. They are, learn with others, serve your students, access a dynamic resource, extend your learning base and to stay engaged in education.

This is a very great article, I think that networking with other teachers is how you truly become a great teacher. If teachers did not network and talk to each other they would only know what they were taught in college and not have any hands on experience from other teachers who may have been there for a long time. I also believe in staying in touch with others through social media, it is a great resource.

This article is very enlightening and describes how important it is to network with other teachers. Now that you connect virtually connect with anyone in the world at anytime, its makes it much easier to gain insight from other teachers no matter where they are located.

This article explains the best way to integrate technology. It mentions Edmodo, which we use in our classroom, as well as other applications that can be used within a classroom. It speaks about having a balance in your classroom, and mentions the best method to integrating technology is to have a plan as well as a back up plan. 

It is important as a teacher to know how to use classroom management especially with technology involved in the classroom.

I also found this article very interesting. It points out very important information on applications used in the classroom, integrating technology, and always having a back up plan which is very important.

Not every school has the resources necessary to take their students on an airplane . . . or spaceship tour. Having the iPad app can help these students and show them how things are inside and out. Fun app for the students. They have virtual sites for many historic places.

I think bringing ipads into the classroom and giving students a chance to see a virtual version of a famous museum or historical place is an amazing teaching too! Most students may never get to the actual place but that doesn't mean they should not get the chance to experience it, whether it be virtual world or not. It makes the information to students more interactive and they can connect history to the places they see online.

This article outlines how the 6 essential science tools use technology in the classroom. The 6 tools are digital projectpr, document camera, livescribe SmartPen, student response system, pocket camcorders, and probeware. These tools allow for the students create instructional videos, demonstrate lab activities, take a "clicker test" used for quizzes and assessments, and record brainstorming sessions.  Overall, these technologies lead to differentiation in instructional methods for teacher and allows them to make effective assessments of the students.

Describes how one classroom uses Khan Academy to provide a different way to teach a math lesson. Khan Academy is a website that provides video lessons and example problems for any given subject.

This article may be helpful to us because it relates to all of us as teachers and talks about the resources we use in class that allows us to do our job. In the world we use tools for everything, for example we need knives, spoons,forks,pots,ingredients to cook and if we didn't have them we couldn't eat. The same goes for education. The tools we use in classrooms change how we teach and make us the teachers we are.

Shirley, I like how this article shows a timeline of tools in the past that have impacted education and our society. It is also very true when the author says that tools like IPads now a days can cloud our thinking. Teachers can over use IPads to teach lessons when there might be better possible strategies available. There is a fine balance when integrating technology that I think comes with experience in handling and implementing technology in the classroom.

Shirley, this article is really interesting! The analogy you stated was spot on in correlation with access to technology in the classroom. The timeline of technology is also really intriguing to look at seeing how the materials used in schools have evolved.

This article is helpful to us as future teachers. This teacher states that she was always the student falling asleep during her boring lectures. Now that she teaches she has thought of fun and exciting ways to integrate technology into her classroom presentations to keep students engaged! She loves using polls and encourages using social media also!

I think this article is helpful for me because as a future history teacher, lectures and presentations are going to be inevitable. Therefore, its important to think of the students and how they can be actively involved and engaged and enjoying the lesson!
