Technology Integration for Elementary Schools | Edutopia - 1 views

  • Interactive whiteboards
  • Remote clickers
  • Digital and video cameras
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • 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.
  • Put the tools in kids' hands.
  • assessments
  • Technology Integration for Elementary Schools
  • quick
  • Portability is key

Using Technology in the Early Childhood Classroom - 3 views

  • Modern technologies are very powerful because they rely on one of the most powerful genetic biases we do have — the preference for visually presented information. The human brain has a tremendous bias for visually presented information. Television, movies, videos, and most computer programs are very visually oriented and therefore attract and maintain the attention of young children.
  • Children need real-life experiences with real people to truly benefit from available technologies. Technologies should be used to enhance curriculum and experiences for children. Children have to have an integrated and well-balanced set of experiences to help them grow into capable adults that can handle social-emotional interactions as well as develop their intellectual abilities.
  • Unfortunately, technology is often used to replace social situations and I would rather see it used to enhance human interactions. And I think that can happen.

8 Engaging Ways to use Technology in the Classroom to Create Lessons That Aren't Boring... - 0 views

  • While lectures and lessons can be informative and even “edutaining” when delivered with passion and good materials by knowledgeable experts, sadly many traditional lectures and lessons are boring, and even worse often ineffective.
  • Even if you don’t have computers or tablets available in your classroom, the fact that an increasing number of High School and college students have smartphones is making it easier than ever to leverage technology to create engaging, active lessons students enjoy working on. For younger grades, if you don’t have access to devices with Web access, perhaps you can access a computer lab by request, or use devices in your library.
  • 1. Incorporate Student Input & Gather Feedback

Teachers have been using Skype and similar tools to being guest lecturers, experts, students, and others into the classroom for years
