  • Technology is a literacy that is expected in higher education and in our economy. (1) It is a universal language spoken by the entire world, regardless of the profession. Our current students will encounter one of the toughest job markets in generations. Gone are the days of falling into a profession and riding that wave for 30-plus years. However, it's not to say those jobs aren't still available. They are, but they're dwindling as automation and outsourcing continue to expand.

  • One of her pre-service teachers even used the iPad to solve a problem with a disruptive student who made trouble in the reading center every morning. But when the teacher showed the student how to download books on the iPad, he read with focus for 20 minutes each morning – a goal he had not achieved until then
  • Anything new and different is engaging for kids,” said Nancy Davidson, a senior elementary education major at Wake Forest who used an iPad in her student teaching last semester. “Tracking student growth through apps, pictures and videos became more efficient for me and more interesting for the children. Using the iPad in class started as a luxury, but quickly became a normal part of their learning process.
  • Bennett’s pre-service teachers used the iPads in three ways:•Comparing students’ progress on identical tasks using the iPads, interactive whiteboards and desktops, to see if the less-expensive iPad would work as well.•In groups of two or three, working out a problem together. This approach required a set of rules (only one set of fingers on the iPad) and specific tasks for each team member. The group would capture an image of their work and store it in the iPad’s photo album for teacher review.•For the teacher only, taking the place of other digital displays. One teacher took photos around the school and flipped through as she explained geometric shapes occurring in the school and in nature.

  • Last semester, Tomarken also faced another problem – the lack of a good textbook for teaching structural equation modeling to social science students – that he solved using technology. “There is no book that is perfect, that really is appropriate, for this class. There are either books that tend to be too easy or too hard or just not broad enough in scope.” Tomarken solved this problem using the Prometheus system, by placing his lecture notes on the web. This not only replaced the textbook, it allowed students to spend more time focused on the lecture and less time copying formulas from the board. “I told them, you don’t have to write anything, it’s all on the web, just listen.”

  • As the iPad evolves and new apps are developed, educators are exploring the possibilities in which this new technology can transform the ways in which teachers teach and students learn. In recent years, there has been a significant shift from traditional teacher-directed educational instruction to student-centered learning activities that promote interactive engagement, individual responsibility, and self-assessment. This is not to say that the role of the teacher in the classroom has diminished. In fact, teachers today now have the additional challenge of designing curriculum and learning activities that not only meet and exceed existing learning standards and prepare for the coming Common Core initiative, but also actively involve students in the development, implementation, and evaluation of their own educational experiences. Utilizing iPad technology, educators have the ability to integrate these student-centered learning activities into proven curriculum strategies and educational methods. For example, a teacher may assign a standards-based research project that requires student groups to utilize the iPad to develop an interactive audio / visual presentation. As part of the assessment process, students can exchange iPads and evaluate their peers' projects through "hands-on" engagement. On an individual level, the interactive touch screen of the iPad fosters interest and encourages students to master skills and strategies that have been previously introduced in class. The portable nature of the iPad also makes it possible for students to easily share information with classmates.

  • Teacher's iPad Experiment Shows Possibilities for Classroom Technology
  • The sample size may have been small, but the finding was promising because of how Harmon went about integrating the iPads. "Students wrote their journal entries on the class Moodle, accessed on the iPads" Harmon wrote in his report. They also used the devices to collaborate "on the retelling of works of drama with apps," and to take tests. Students were also more eager to write on the devices and composed longer essays than when writing in a notebook.

  • Technology use allows many more students to be actively thinking about information, making choices, and executing skills than is typical in teacher-led lessons.
  • The student is actively making choices about how to generate, obtain, manipulate, or display information.
  • The teacher's role changes as well. The teacher is no longer the center of attention as the dispenser of information, but rather plays the role of facilitator, setting project goals and providing guidelines and resources, moving from student to student or group to group, providing suggestions and support for student activity.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Another effect of technology cited by a great majority of teachers is an increased inclination on the part of students to work cooperatively and to provide peer tutoring. While many of the classrooms we observed assigned technology-based projects to small groups of students, as discussed above, there was al
  • so considerable tutoring going on around the use of technology itself.
  • Increased Use of Outside Resources Teachers from 10 out of 17 classrooms observed at length cited increased use of outside resources as a benefit of using technology. This effect was most obvious in classrooms that had incorporated telecommunications activities (see examples), but other classes used technologies such as satellite broadcasts, telefacsimiles, and the telephone to help bring in outside resources.
  • Increased Motivation and Self Esteem
  • The most common--and in fact, nearly universal--teacher-reported effect on students was an increase in motivation. Teachers and students are sometimes surprised at the level of technology-based accomplishment displayed by students who have shown much less initiative or facility with more conventional academic tasks:
  • student self esteem.
  • Change in Student and Teacher Roles
  • Improved Design Skills/Attention to Audience
  • Project-based work (such as the City Building Project and the Student-Run Manufacturing Company) and cooperative learning approaches prompt this change in roles, whether technology is used or not. However, tool uses of technology are highly compatible with this new teacher role, since they stimulate so much active mental work on the part of students. Moreover, when the venue for work is technology, the teacher often finds him or herself joined by many peer coaches--students who are technology savvy and eager to share their knowledge with others.

Ensuring that children actually receive rewards every time they have earned them and receive a sanction every time they behave badly. Taking action to deal with poor teaching or staff who fail to follow the behaviour policy. Ensuring pupils come in from the playground and move around the school in an orderly manner. Ensuring that the senior leadership team like the head and assistant head are a visible presence around the school during the day, including in the lunch hall and playground, and are not confined to offices.

  • What does this child need to learn next? She may benefit from seeing different ways to organize factual information. The teacher may use a mini-lesson to show different examples of nonfiction animal books. This student, and the rest of her classmates, could look at nonfiction text features and try to use them in their own writing (table of contents, captions with pictures, bold words, close-ups, diagrams with labels, an index). This may motivate her to find more information about white sharks and think about how to organize it in a multi-page format. This would be an effective tie to a nonfiction reading unit.
