Educators Work To Better Integrate Technology Into The Classroom - US News and World Re... - 0 views

  • American university professors do not teach education students a universal, tried-and-true method for how to incorporate technology in their classroom instruction. That the digital revolution evolves at a rapid pace and that technology has become so subject-specific means universities cannot address these shifts and create a standard curriculum. As a result, educators have become more resourceful and ingenious in their teaching, professors say.

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.

    "Active Learning - Active Learning is anything that students do in a classroom other than merely passively listening to an instructor's lecture. Research shows that active learning improves students' understanding and retention of information and can be very effective in developing higher order cognitive skills such as problem solving and critical thinking. Clicker Use in Class - Clickers enable instructors to rapidly collect and summarize student responses to multiple-choice questions they ask of students in class. Collaborative/Cooperative Learning - Cooperative and collaborative learning are instructional approaches in which students work together in small groups to accomplish a common learning goal.They need to be carefully planned and executed, but they don't require permanently formed groups. Critical Thinking - Critical thinking is a collection of mental activities that include the ability to intuit, clarify, reflect, connect, infer, and judge. It brings these activities together and enables the student to question what knowledge exists. "

    Clickers to me is a great way to engage the students in learning. They will not just be sitting listening to a teacher talk if they are engaged in the lesson as well. It also seems to be a great way to study for tests and quizzes. I could not figure out how to undo the highlighting in the next paragraph... I was just playing around with it so ignore the random highlights(:

Why Technology in Schools? | EdTech Action Network - 0 views

  • Seventh graders with a variety of physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities benefited from the use of laptop computers, provided to students as part of Maine’s Laptop Technology Initiative. “Overall, special education teachers viewed the laptops as highly beneficial to their students with few exceptions,” according to a teacher survey. “The laptops were credited with improving the engagement of students with disabilities with their school work; increasing their motivation and ability to work independently; and improving their class participation, interaction with other students, interaction with teachers, and class preparation. Special education teachers and parents indicated that the laptops also increased students’ personal organization. Another important finding of this study was that special education teachers perceived their special education students to have increased the quality and quantity of their writing.
