  • For a child, technology plays many roles: teacher, babysitter, playmate and pacifier
  • More than half of all children ages 8 and younger have access to a mobile device at home, either a smartphone (41 percent), a video iPod (21 percent), or an iPad or other tablet (8 percent), according to a recent study by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding and educating families about media and technology. More than a quarter (29 percent) of all parents have downloaded apps for their children.
  • "Every app is developed based on the curriculum goal we're trying to hit," says Brooks.

  • Research has shown that kids engaged in interactive media appear to retain information better than their peers who passively watch.
  • Technology never ceases to show us new -- and amazing -- ways to solve some very real social and developmental problems.
  • Nine out of ten parents with children under 2 years old report that their kids use some form of electronic media. Toddler/preschooler is the most popular age category in the education section of the iTunes app store, a venue with more than 550,000 downloadable brain testers, time killers, and layover fillers.
  • "There's never been a better time to be a teacher," he says, "or a curious kid."

The 6 Biggest Challenges Of Using Education Technology - Edudemic - 0 views

Teachers Technology challenges

shared by Zach Vossekuil on 07 May 14 - No Cached
  • The Challenges Faculty training still does not acknowledge the fact that digital media literacy continues its rise in importance as a key skill in every discipline and profession. Teachers needs to be learning how to use the technology themselves, too. Where formal training lacks, professional development needs to step in, and does in many cases. But integrating the how-to of technology with the how-to of teaching needs to happen. The emergence of new scholarly forms of authoring, publishing, and researching outpace sufficient and scalable modes of assessment. The traditional approaches to scholarly evaluation don’t always match up with the more ‘modern’ forms of research (things that include social media use, online collaborations, etc). Though these things often happen in the real world, the academic decision makers who deem what is acceptable and what is not haven’t caught up yet. Too often it is education’s own processes and practices that limit broader uptake of new technologies. Things like the promotion and tenure process don’t lend themselves well to integrating technology – that is, if you’re working towards tenure and your field of specialization isn’t education technology, figuring this stuff out is not on the top of the priority list (or even encouraged). The demand for personalized learning is not adequately su

MOOCs are huge – and proponents are constantly touting the advantages, but we need to assess both the pros and cons of these new learning models and look at how they fit in with existing models of learning and assessment, too. Most academics are not using new technologies for learning and teaching, nor for organizing their own research. How can you teach using digital methods and expect students to use the if you don’t bother to try? The overwhelming attitude in higher education (according to the report) seems to be that these sorts of forays into technology bring the focus to the technology rather than on the material at hand, and so there is no expectation or drive to do so.

  • Blackboard SMU uses the course management system Blackboard.  For help creating Blackboard courses and learning the basics, consult Academic Technology's Blackboard help page, as well as this Blackboard online tutorial. Access your Blackboard courses here. Presentation Software Sometimes it's helpful to provide visual aids to complement teaching, stimulate discussion, or allow out-of-class teaching. Tools designed for this purpose, such as PowerPoint, can be used well or used badly. Click here for resources that provide advice for thoughtful use of PowerPoint, as well as a few additional presentation tools. Classroom Response Systems ("clickers") One way to encourage student engagement is by using electronic devices that allow students to record their answers to multiple choice questions and allow you to instantly display the results. The anonymity encourages participation, and their answers help the teacher know when further discussion is needed.  Use of clickers can also serve as a catalyst for discussion.  Click here to learn more about using response systems effectively.
  • Converting a Face-to-Face Course to an Online Course Teaching online, whether in a hybrid course or a wholly-online course, requires different techniques and different tools.  Without the F2F contact, professors will need to be even clearer about setting and articulating expectations for digital work and participation.  Encouraging interaction between professor and student and among students is an additional challenge, as is monitoring student learning as the course progresses.  The online environment requires the use of basic technologies to digitize course materials as well as mastery of the university's learning management system.  And various tools like Skype allow synchronous communications, while blogs and Twitter can encourage asynchronous interaction.  Here are some ideas to get you started.

  • The interactive whiteboard acts as both the monitor and input device, allowing you to control any application by touching the screen
  • NOTE: Depending on the model of your SMART Board interactive whiteboard, the Ready Light is either located on the right side of the SMART Pen Tray or the lower-right of the frame bezel.
  • TIP: To clear a large area of digital ink, draw a circle around the area you want to erase with the eraser and tap once inside that area. All digital ink inside that circle will disappear.

  • The survey found that more teachers than ever are incorporating interactive games, activities, lesson plans, and simulations into the classroom. Sixty-two percent of teachers say they use digital media twice a week or more and 24 percent say they use it every day to help them teach. The numbers of teachers using TV and video content in the classroom is even higher. Over 80 percent of teachers say they use TV or video to teach a lesson at least once a month and 76 percent are streaming it from the web.

  • 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.
  • Keela Strouf on 09 Nov 12
     
    This page shows how even if schools aren't able to buy enough iPads for every child in the classroom, with just one iPad teachers can improve classroom lessons and how their students learn.

  • Actually,whiteboards have replaced blackboards in most classrooms, and of course all schools have invested heavily in computer suites, but these are used mainly to instruct students in how information technology works, as a discrete discipline, complete with proficiency tests and examinations, but often not used outside these narrow parameters, in real applications.
