Ten Reasons why technology is vital to education - 0 views

  • An integral part of the connected or smart classrooms is video-conferencing technology,
  • allows students to talk to experts and other schools and students around the world in real time via a video link-up.
  • Instead of going to specific classes in person, teachers and students could communicate at a time they choose by exchanging printed or electronic media such as emails, message boards or blogs, or through technology that allows them to communicate in real time such as telephones, web conferencing or video conferencing.
  • Parents need not fear the new technologies,
  • These technologies also offer greater opportunities for families to learn together.

Technology Integration for Elementary Schools | Edutopia - 1 views

  • Mobile devices
  • Have a backup plan.
  • Gradually give kids more independence.
  • Relax. Young and rambunctious as the students may be, Forest Lake has not had one laptop dropped or broken beyond repair. Williams suggests you teach them basic care: Wear the camera strap around your wrist; tuck the computer cables under the table; use protective cases when possible. Beyond that, make the kids feel like these valuable tools are theirs, and chances are they'll want to take care of them.
  • Maintain the same rigor as in pen-and-paper projects.
  • Start with the standards. Use technology only when it enhances your content -- not the other way around. It's less effective if you use technology for technology's sake.
  • Connect with peers far away. Penpal programs have come a long way, baby. With webcams and video conferences, kids can actually see and talk to their peers in real time -- and that's exciting. Williams recommends you prepare before the meet-up: study the culture, brainstorm questions, discuss Internet safety, and learn email etiquette.
  • Give kids a real audience. Technology opens up new ways for kids to show their work to the world (which, no disrespect intended, can be more motivating than just handing it in to a teacher). At Forest Lake, fifth graders studying erosion took photographs of patches of their playground that were washing away, then sent the snaps to the school district office with suggestions on how to correct the problem. Second graders videotaped themselves reviewing books they'd read, then voted on the best recordings to show to kindergarteners down the hall.

Technology Integration - Elementary Instructional Technology - 0 views

  • Kindergarten: No requirements. Technology should be utilized as academically and developmentally appropriate.1st – 5th Grade: One or two assured experiences required each month, depending on the month and grade level. Numerous integration activities should be utilized throughout the year as they fit into the curriculum, with technology being the most appropriate tool for the activity. Planning is done at the school level with the Instructional Technology Specialist, who will also consult with the LIT.
  • Focus on keyboard familiarity in K-2nd . Begin formal keyboarding instruction in 3rd grade usinglaptops in classrooms when available or use classroom desktop computers. Research suggeststhat a minimum of three times per week for fifteen minutes each time is most effective .Third Grade: Dance Mat Typing (Internet based)Fourth Grade: Master KeyFifth Grade: Master Key

    Although this is from a specific school district I think it's a good plan/requirement to have. It focuses on grade level and specific tasks, like keyboarding.

Obama Announces Nearly $3 Billion in Education Technology Commitments - US News - 0 views

  • “My country invested in me … and now I want America to invest in you,” Obama said. “Because in the faces of these students, these are future doctors and lawyers and engineers, scientists, business leaders. We don’t know what kinds of products, services, good work any of these students may do. But I’m betting on them. And all of us have to bet on them.” “In a country where we expect free Wi-Fi with our coffee, we should definitely demand it in our schools,” he later added.
