  • 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

  • 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.

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.

shared by Maryrose Langoehr on 09 Dec 13 - No Cached
  • exican FlagThe Mexican flag, a symbol of Mexico’s culture and history, has slowly evolved from era to era.The first, unofficial Mexican flag, the banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe, was carried by the priest and rebel leader Miguel Hidalgo during the War of Independence. It is still a powerful symbol in Mexican culture. Mexico adopted a flag very close to the flag of today when it won independence in 1821.Meaning of Mexican Flag ColorsThe vertical green, white and red stripes symbolized independence, religion, and the unity of Europe and the Americas. In the center is Mexico’s coat of arms, which tells the Aztec legend of the founding of the city of Tenochtitlan.The Aztecs said that the God Huitzilopochtli’ directed the Aztecs to rename themselves the Mexicas, and to settle at the site where they found a golden eagle, perched on a prickly pear cactus, clutching a serpent. While the site was in fact an unappealing swamp, that is where Mexico City stands to this day.Symbolic Changes in the Mexican FlagThe flag has changed 3 times since. Mexico adopted today’s flag in 1968. It has a 4:7 ratio. As Mexico modernized, the colors of the flag took on new meanings. Now, the green stands for hope, the white stands for unity, and the red stands for the blood of national heroes. Mexicans salute the flag with their right arm over their chest, palm to the ground.Mexicans celebrate Flag Day on February 24th, paying tribute to this symbol of Mexico’s political and cultural history.

Tips on Using Technology in ESL Class - 0 views

using technology tips class

shared by Garrett Whitehead on 09 Dec 13 - No Cached
  • In today's classroom, teachers find that they often have to compete with technology to keep students interest. It's important to recognize that a) students use this technology b) they will use it in class. Short of taking students' smart phones, tablets, etc. away from them at the beginning of each class, most teachers have to learn to work with technology in the classroom. The struggle to deal with inappropriate technology use in the classroom can be mitigated to some degree by integrating its use into the lesson. Below you will find a number of suggestions. Tip 3: Use Email to Your Advantage It's often useful to send out an email to students with resources that you want to use during the lesson. If you want to use web resources, create a class email list to send out a short update with clickable URLs that students can use to access materials. There is nothing that will slow a class down more than writing a long, unwieldy URL on the board and asking students to type it into their smart phone, iPad, etc. to access. Tip 4: Set Up a Class Blog / Learning Site There are numerous online services that allow teachers to set up an easy to maintain class blog / site. You can use this to post assignments, give homework, keep students informed with resources, etc. Ask students to bookmark the homepage and you can provide a short blog posts with resources students can use during a specific lesson as suggested in using email. This makes using students' gadgets even easier! Tip 5: Revisit Common Software in Terms of Learning Possibilities Take time to find out what software packages students are using on a daily basis. Once you have a short list, spend some time with the packages to find out what tools they provide to help out with English learning. For example, using a text editor such as Word for Windows you can help students set up spell check in English as students type. Instruct learners to try to correct their own spelling mistakes signaled by red underling BEFORE they check the correct spelling. With a few simple instructions these tools can become powerful self-study aids. Tip 6: Keep Technology Use Limited and On Task This principal is similar to any teaching task. The more general an objective or activity is, the easier it becomes to lose focus. For example, imagine that you are using a video in class to work on comprehension. Instead of watching an entire episode of a sitcom, use a service such as Hulu or English Attack! to watch individual scenes. This will help you students keep integrate new vocabulary, improve their comprehension through repetition. Tip 7: Have a Backup Plan Always have a backup plan in place when technology fails. Unfortunately, this still happens and it's a shame to have to change lesson focus entirely just because Windows needs to install the latest version of Flash to play a video. Tip 8: Use an Interactive Whiteboard If you work at a school with deep pockets, I highly recommend working with an interactive whiteboard.

  • Strategies: Using feedback in the classroomModeling non-defensive behavior in the classroom can be critical to demonstrating effective use of feedback for teachers and students. Teaching critical thinkingCritical thinking, as it pertains to teaching and learning, can be considered an open-minded process of discovery and understanding, analysis and application, synthesis and evaluation. Bloom's taxonomyBenjamin Bloom (1956) created this taxonomy or classification system for categorizing "competencies" in educational settings, as defined by skills demonstrated by learner type or intelligence. Teaching with questioningWhat are some procedures and strategies for using questions in the classroom? The Socratic MethodTeaching by Asking Instead of by Telling: Teacher: Rick Garlikov; Students: 22 third grade class in a suburban elementary school... A binary arithmetic example! Teaching with guided notes in lecturesGuided Notes are teacher-prepared hand-outs that outline or map lectures, but leave "blank" space for key concepts, facts, definitions, etc. As the lecture progresses, the learner then fills in the spaces with content.
