  • The main objective of the course is to prepare pre-service teachers to become technology-proficient educators. Technology has the capability to enhance teacher instruction and contribute to student’s overall learning. The course outlines appropriate methods and applications of technology as it relates to K-12 instruction and education. Additionally, there is a focus on current and emerging applications of technology. Toward the end of the semester the course focuses on helping students develop lesson plans to effectively integrate technology into their own classrooms.
  • In 2004, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) adopted standards for educators supporting technology integration instruction to enhance student learning. Their standards highlighted the importance of empowering future educators with the right resources to appropriately teach tomorrow’s technology users.
  • t is important that the integration of technology be carefully implemented at a reasonable pace.

  •  “The class is very important because it focuses on safe and appropriate use of technology integration strategies. We have found that although education students may be comfortable using technology in their every day lives, they are hesitant to integrate it into their teaching practice,” said Viruru. “Overall, the course provides an environment where future educators can experiment, ask questions and measure outcomes for future practice.”
  • While traditional forms of technology, such as projectors and interactive whiteboards are often standard classroom equipment, students who are unable to attend a traditional classroom can take advantage of new technologies from home. 
  • Schools can also benefit from the use of new technologies during a major illness or outbreak, or to keep students on track during a suspension or long-term illness.
  • “For example, apps like Educreation  in which teachers record lessons and allow students to play them back several times as necessary are great for learning,” said Rackley. “This feature also allows students to record themselves working through a problem enabling the teacher to play back the recording and observe students’ thought processes as they work through the lesson. For an educator, this is priceless because they may be able to alter the instruction to better support student learning,” she said. 
  • Outside the classroom, assistive technologies can increase the number of weekly instruction hours that a student receives from their teacher.
  • Another unique aspect of digital learning is that it can create a more inclusive learning environment. Just as there are diverse types of technology, there is diversity in users as well. For students with special needs, technology can enable them to be more independent and fit in with classroom learning and routines. Students with visual or hearing impairments can utilize voice-over for accessibility on Apple devices. Similarly, the VGo robot has assistive technology like text-to-talk, which may be helpful for homebound students who are verbally impaired.
  • he future of technology in education can be revolutionary and endless. With access to new technologies and services, students no longer need to frantically write answers to pop quizzes with pen and paper. Instead, they can submit answers using instant classroom response polls and complete quizzes that display answers in real time, with online software like polleverywhere.com

  • Students in groups were instructed to use an app like Popplet to produce webgraphs from reading assignments covering the American Revolution. Later, they used the tablets for a science lesson on weather and terrain to collect and organize photos. In this example, the technology was easily adapted for use in varying formats across disciplines.

  • The VGo is a computer-operated robot with a camera display that can be physically placed in the classroom for students that are homebound. With a Wi-Fi connection from home students can use computer keyboard arrows and webcam to manipulate the robot around the classroom. By having their face displayed on the VGo camera monitor students are able to have social interactions with classmates and virtually raise their hands to answer questions in class by signaling to the teacher with the VGo light.

  • “Last year we heard from a graduate student in the college. She shared how making podcasts of her lessons impressed parents during a flu epidemic at the school,” said Rackley. “Parents were able to listen to the podcasts with their children to complete the homework assignments before returning to school. In this instance, the podcast turned into a very valuable tool for the teacher, student and parent.”

    This article tells us about how to use technology to record so students can go back and look at information missed, or if they were out with an absence. It also says that now mobile phones can be used as a method to enhance some learning in a way that they are not a distraction. It helps kids be more engaged in the heavily used technology time we live in.

  • ome backers of this idea say standardized tests, the most widely used measure of student performance, don’t capture the breadth of skills that computers can help develop. But they also concede that for now there is no better way to gauge the educational value of expensive technology investments
  • computers play an important role in helping students get their ideas down more easily, edit their work so they can see instant improvement, and share it with the class.
  • But Xavier is just shooting every target in sight. Over and over. Periodically, the game gives him a message: “Try again.” He tries again. “Even if he doesn’t get it right, it’s getting him to think quicker,”

  • If your child receives special education services, he must have an Individualized Education Program (IEP). That’s the law.
  • It spells out your child’s learning needs, the services the school will provide and how progress will be measured.
  • Here’s a quick look at what an IEP must include, by law:
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The IEP is meant to address each child’s unique learning issues and include specific educational goals. It is a legally binding document. The school must provide everything it promises in the IEP.
  • Two things must happen before a child can get special education services.
  • 1. An evaluation.
  • 2. A decision.
