Tech Literacy: Making It Relevant Through Content Learning | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Make Technology Applicable to Other Class Assignments Instead of teaching only computer and web skills, as in their first year, Meyer Elementary has been embedding the classroom curriculum from other content areas into technology instruction.
  • Collaborate With Other Teachers
  • A big part of Meyer's tech integration program boils down to collaboration and communication. The teachers need to communicate and collaborate effectively so that Dahl can supplement their lessons in his class.

  • Embrace Discomfort
  • Before Meyer integrated learning technology with content, the school's technology focus was on the how-tos of learning a program or an app. Now, with the current approach to tech integration, students must call upon their critical thinking skills.
  • Apply the SAMR Model When Meyer Elementary first introduced technology, they focused on using it to teach technology separated from content, and on remediation for differentiation in the classrooms. Since then, they've adopted the SAMR model, created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura (PDF). Defined by Puentedura, the four levels are: Substitution: Technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional change. Augmentation: Technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement. Modification: Technology allows for significant task redesign. Redefinition: Technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.

Methods of Assessment | Learning Sciences - 0 views

  • “What was the most important thing you learned today?” “What was the most confusing topic today?” “What important question remains unanswered?”
  • Pausing every few minutes to see whether students are following along with the lesson not only identifies gaps in comprehension, but helps break up lectures (e.g, with Clicker questions) or online lessons (e.g., with embedded quiz questions) into more digestible bites. 
  • Having students work in pairs or small groups to solve problems creates space for powerful peer-to-peer learning and rich class discussion. Instructors and TAs can roam the classroom as students work, helping those who get stuck and guiding those who are headed in the wrong direction.

SMART Boards - Interactive Whiteboards - The Benefits of Technology for English Languag... - 0 views

  • Effective use of the Smart Board technology can without question quickly produce increased student interaction and engagement with specific instructional material and can have lasting benefits on the classroom dynamic and cognitive development of the middle school age student population
  • In the 21st century not only do most K-12 students have or are in the process of acquiring technological literacy, but concurrently the use of technology has become the central focus of their lives
  • While the classroom should not become simply a conduit for students to further immerse themselves in technology, the classroom should not pretend technology does not exist as well

  • The use of interactive technology in particular, such as interactive whiteboards, can have concrete benefits
  •   The SmartBoard allows both students and instructors immediate feedback
  • At its core Smart Board technology is an interactive tool that allows students to truly be at the center of their own learning
  • A huge advantage of Smart Boards is the student’s ability to see their work displayed prominently in front of the classroom
  • While supplementing a students need for visual representations of instructional material, technology such as the Smart Board has the potential to inquire from students more detailed analysis of a particular subject. By allowing students to manipulate the Smart Board, students can be asked to directly participate in activities previously reserved only for the instructor
  • This particular study focused on elementary school classroom where 40 percent of students were classified as ESL
  • Some Smart Boards are embedded with a device called “Smart Network” that has spell check which allows students to engage in meaningful trial and error
  • students who were given access to the Smart Board technology over the course of the year displayed more pronounced improvements in grammar, than students who did not have the technology
  • Students with certain intellectual disabilities that historically have struggled in the classic classroom setting are allowed by the Smart Board technology to integrate their creative minds in a hands-on fashion, using the drag function to tangibly alter and refashion text and sentences
  • Furthermore, the researcher of this inquiry saw student vocabulary growth during the process as well.
  • During the teenage years, adolescent brains are transforming and Smart Boards can be used to bridge the gap between childhood and intellectual teenage creativity

Free Technology for Teachers - 0 views

  • The sharing and commenting features in Google Documents are fantastic for giving students feedback about their work. Likewise, those features are great for students to use for peer editing. But if you want to really add your voice to then you'll want to add the Voice Comments application from Learn.ly to your Google Drive account. Thanks to a Tweet from Alec Couros I learned about a Google Documents voice comment tutorial produced by Jennifer Roberts. Her video tutorial is embedded below.
  • One free online method of creating report cards is to use a Google Sheets template. Rather than starting from scratch, my recommendation is to search in the Google Drive template gallery for a report card template.

  • edcanvas   (Now known as Blendspace ) Edcanvas is a connected space where students and adults can organize, present and share information. Gather, annotate and share presentations easily by dragging and dropping images, movies, maps, audio and text and embedding hyperlinks onto a blank canvas. Use multiple frames on each canvas to pre-teach a topic, provide 1:1 and differentiated instruction, and share pathfinders and explore connections. Use your own content or searching on the Internet, without leaving the Edcanvas page to create collaborative projects. Older elementary and secondary students can create collaborative projects by copying individual canvases to make a complete dynamic canvas. Grades 6-12.
