  • Thomas Edison once said, "Books will soon be obsolete in the public schools... our school system will be completely changed inside of ten years.
  • Teachers should embrace the Common Core State Standards. Common standards make teaching simpler. Teachers have to write lessons that comply with district, state, and national standards (e.g. NCTM or NCTE). Having a single set of standards eliminates redundancy and conflicting guidelines. Furthermore universal adoption of common standards will support future technological innovations that aid teachers. From a technical perspective, standards facilitate the development of new technologies. Innovators can focus on developing tools that better serve students rather than solving technical challenges of interoperability created by multiple sets of standards.

Portfolios allow students to express creativity for difficult to assess subjects. Teachers can choose from a variety of online portfolio providers tailored to the needs of their classroom.

Many businesses use open-source servers for their efficiency and costs savings. They often have large communities that provide high quality customer support. Best of all, open-source technologies often cost less than proprietary products.

  • In most modern countries today, romantic love is the reason that people marry, but at the time period of 400 BCE, marriages were arranged. Fathers had legal control over their daughters until a suitable match was found for them. Most girls married around the age of fifteen. This seems to be a young age but the average lifespan at that time was around 35-40 years.

    This website would be great to have kids explore, or even use as sources for projects. What I highlighted is a section about Greek women that kids probably don't realize because our ideas about marriage today are extremely different.

  • Organize Information on the Internet (Wednesday)
  • The Internet provides such a wealth of information that students frequently find it difficult to limit their research. A graphic organizer helps learners choose concepts and facts that fit the assigned topic. Students whose learning styles are more global and visual will also find these organizers helpful.
  • Use Computer Software with the Internet (Thursday)
  • ave students create a database of organized information. This could consist of countries of the world in social studies, various polygons in math, animals in science, or short stories in English. Students can learn that the Internet is a tool we can use to enhance our presentations.

  • You simply put the document you want to show your students under the camera, and it is shot up on the screen through your LCD projector. Once it is up on the screen you can use the camera to take a screen shot of the document and save it directly to your computer for later or just use the live version. A document camera also allows you to place diagrams, charts, textbooks , etc. on a large screen so that all your students can see the images, passages, etc. at one time.

  • You have your unit of study and your lesson plans. Add this one small piece: everyone– including you–  pick a social media service and follow someone who blogs, tweets, tumbls, scoops, or pins about the topic. If you work with younger students, you can do this as a class and use it as an opener each day or week throughout the unit. Students can write a response to the author, which incorporates what they learn in class or a summary for class that can be used as a basis for discussion. You can also form small discussion groups based on platforms or topics.  The goals of this strategy are to introduce students to a variety of social media sites, teach students how to evaluate social media sources, learn the vocabulary of various social media sites (i.e. the term is tweeter not “twitterer”), help students to see social media as a source of information, and demonstrate the “social” in social media for academic purposes.

  • nts learning technology, it is especially important to focus on effective teaching strategies that are commonly used in other content areas, such as academic language development and meaningful interaction with the content.
  • Computer tutorials should be organized by tasks: the things most students want to do with the program.
  • For each task, concise, step-by-step instructions should be provided.
  • Each step should be illustrated with a computer screen shot that shows exactly what to do. The bigger the illustration, the better.
  • At the end of each important task, stand-alone exercises should be included to give students an opportunity to practice the tasks. Including multiple exercises will ensure that students who work quickly will remain occupied.
  • Build vocabulary
  • Find out what students know:
  • Review the basics:
  • Use props and demonstrations:
  • Check comprehension:
  • Use handouts
  • Try giving ELLs handouts with visuals of the computer screen so that they can follow along.
  • Create simple assignments for beginners
  • students learning how to use the Word program to create documents should write about something with which they are familiar, rather than having to research a new topic while learning how to use the program.
  • Extended practice time
  • need to find ways to extend the practice time for ELLs.
  • ELL students are making meaning of the instructions given in a second language, while also figuring out how to use the technology.
  • . This also may be an opportunity to pair a tech-savvy mainstream student with an ELL student who is developing computer skills.
  • Use pair and group work
  • If students use the new information, vocabulary, and technology to build something together or to solve a problem, they will learn it and remember it as they discuss different approaches to a problem, activate their knowledge, and learn from each other.
  • Establish meaningful goals
  • it is important to introduce the technology with very basic, well-known information so all students can understand it
  • It is possible to give general guidelines to ensure the quality of the project while still allowing students some options for individuality.
  • Teach students to consider the source
  • ELL students may be particularly susceptible to believing information they receive electronically because they may come from a culture where very little information is printed, and so written information is usually considered reliable.
  • Teachers can also help their students by leading them through a discussion and investigation as to the origin of news, and by teaching them how to determine if information is accurate and relevant to their needs. This also supports the development of good online research skills.
  • Teaching technology is challenging in any environment, but when teachers are trying to eliminate the gap between ELL and mainstream students, it is even more challenging. I hope these strategies will give you some ideas of where to start and what kind of support will be helpful to your students. While ELL students are often at a disadvantage when it comes to learning technology, they are also extremely motivated and enthusiastic about technology when they have meaningful access to the instruction. By taking a moment to observe and reflect on your ELL students' learning needs, you will be able to help them successfully transition to a "high-tech" society and a successful future.

  • Three advantages have been found regarding technology in the classroom including:  Educators should use technology in the classroom because its wide range of uses and forms has the potential to reach students of all learning styles, as well as be more efficient.  The interest and motivation that technology induces in students makes its usage in schools important.  Educators better prepare students for the future when using technology aimed at addressing each learning style.
  • "The creative use of these technologies has the potential to engage young people and instill an excitement about learning in ways that few traditional teaching aids and techniques seem capable of doing." They later mention that technological instruction helps students adapt to learning styles by providing a "self-paced... learning environment" that helps all learners to feel less threatened by new material. The simple fact that students exposed to technology will be more comfortable with it later in life is only one of the many reasons to use it in hopes of preparing the for the future.

  • As an instructional tool, technology helps all students--including poor students and students with disabilities--master basic and advanced skills required for the world of work.  As an assessment tool, technology yields meaningful information, on demand, about students' progress and accomplishments and provides a medium for its storage.  As a motivational tool, technology positively impacts student attitudes toward learning, self-confidence, and self-esteem.

  • Word, trend or hashtag tracking:
  • ask them to actually tweet a response and open a discussio
  • Take notes:
  • For high schoolers and the college crowd, this assignment might very well help them discover some personal career goals.
  • Share a story:
  • The first tweets a sentence, the next builds off of it and so forth; try assigning a hashtag to make reading everything faster.
  • Keep parents informed: When teaching the younger set, parents may like to follow along with what’s going on in their children’s day. Keep a Twitter feed updating them about the different lessons and activities as they happen for greater engagement between the home and the classroom.
  • For kids just learning about distance, this makes for a lovely way to get them to know more about where everything is in relation to their own cities and towns.
  • ______ of the day: No matter the class, a vocabulary word, book, song, quote or something else “of the day” might very well make an excellent supplement to the day’s lesson. When teaching younger kids, tell their parents about the Twitter feed and encourage them to talk about postings at home.
  • A common hashtag and communicative network is all it takes to share insight and recommendations.
  • Keep up with current events: Similarly, educators can set up lists with different news sources, allowing their students to stay on top of current events. Separate them by field for quicker access and even more comprehensive organization.
  • Set up a communal hastag for students and professionals alike to use and exchange their views and lessons.
  • Host a Twitter scavenger hunt: For fun and education, get students moving and organize a sort of Twitter scavenger hunts — maybe even see if other classrooms or professionals want to get involved. As with many of the projects listed here, such an activity can easily be applied to a wide number of grade levels and academic subjects.
  • Not only does it help them reflect on their lessons and their world, but it also serves as a nice, guided introduction to social media.
  • Help students get their names out: College professors hoping to nurture the professional future of their juniors and seniors might like the idea of teaching them the role of social media in job hunting. Business students into the whole “personal branding” fad will particularly benefit from comprehensively exploring such things.
