MediaShift . Teaching Innovation Is About More Than iPads in the Classroom | PBS - 0 views

  • While it seems clear that students will increasingly be expected to be adept at using digital tools in their professional and personal lives, there isn't great clarity on how exactly these tools should be used
  • One can't begin to have more time and space for innovating in class unless one loosens the reigns on traditional objectives and creates more flexibility and leverage within classrooms and schools.
  • Learning environments of the future are in incubation. And therein lies the challenge: Learning environments that don't exist can't be analyzed. Moving into the unknown requires a pioneering spirit. Helen Keller reminds us that is the truth of not only our age, but of all ages: "Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."

    Although we know that students are expected to learn technology skills, there is no clear idea of what tools to use and how to implement them into the curriculum.

Why Integrate Technology into the Curriculum?: The Reasons Are Many | Edutopia - 0 views

    • Carmen S.
       
      Technology needs to support curricular goals and address 4 components of learning.
  • Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts. Effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals.

    Properly used, technology will help students acquire the skills they need to survive in a complex, highly technological knowledge-based

      Easy ways to incorporate technology, for teachers who want to begin the process
  •  
    Most educational technology experts agree, however, that technology should be integrated, not as a separate subject or as a once-in-a-while project, but as a tool to promote and extend student learning on a daily basis. The challenge, of course, is in finding ways to use technology -- and to help students use it -- that don't take time away from core subjects.

Twenty-First Century Informational Literacy: Integrating Research Techniques and Techno... - 0 views

  • This lesson incorporates graphic novels to help students expand their reading, writing, research, and technology skills. Students first read graphic novels to become familiar with the text structure, then research a self-selected topic using web-based resources. Students follow the research process and synthesize the information they obtained to create their graphic novel using the Comic Life software or other comic software. This unit works best with students who are already familiar with writing a research paper.
