Technology Integration Matrix - 0 views

  • The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as illustrated below.
  •  
    This matrix looks like it could be a VERY useful tool for self-evaluation of technology integration into the curriculum.
  •  
    Resources supporting the full integration of technology in Florida schools -- there's a great matrix showing levels of integration into the curriculum: Entry, Adoption, Adaptation, Infusion, and Transformation.

HUMUMENT.COM - The Official Site of A HUMUMENT by Tom Phillips - 2 views

  •  
    In a similar vein to Blackout Poetry, the Humument takes the art form one step further to and images and colour illustrations to the 'blacked out' words. Beautiful to look at, and is a good example of how open ended a task involving blackout poetry can be. This would be what I would expect of high school students.

Viewing Art to Start Students Reading | 4 O'Clock Faculty - 1 views

  • Replacing written text with artwork, photographs, or illustrations offers a number of advantages, especially early in the school year.  Visual imagery is very accessible and a lot less intimidating to a wide range of learners including non-readers, struggling readers, and English language learners. This enables these students a greater chance to practice some of the forms of complex thinking that they will need as the year progresses such as using text evidence, identifying theme, and making connections.
  • Another advantage the visual imagery has over written text is that it is very fast to decode.
  • Artworks can and should be treated just as a written text. By doing so, students can get their academic thinking started early, laying a foundation for them to build on throughout their school year.
  •  
    Interesting blog post advocating for the use of analysing images in support of literacy skills.

Educational Leadership:The Transition Years:Positive Digital Footprints - 1 views

  • One of my worst fears as [my children] grow older is that they won't be Googled well. … that when a certain someone (read: admissions officer, employer, potential mate) enters "Tess Richardson" into the search line of the browser, what comes up will be less than impressive. That a quick surf through the top five hits will fail to astound with examples of her creativity, collaborative skills, and change-the-world work. Or, even worse, that no links about her will come up at all. (p. 16)
  • Students who see digital tools as vehicles for collective action around ideas they believe in are less likely to engage in risky behaviors online because they see social media spaces as forums for learning first and entertainment second
  • begin to paint complex digital portraits of themselves by networking with like-minded peers, joining groups committed to studying topics of deep personal interest to them, and creating products that are an accurate expression of who they are and what they believe in.
  •  
    Good article illustrating the need for students to develop a positive digital presence.
