What Is Effective Technology Integration? | Clif's Notes - 0 views

  • A teacher keeps attendance and grade records on the computer.
    • Russ Goerend
       
      If the computer is connected to the office, meaning there won't be prinouts and wasted paper, then I'd say "sure, this is effective."
  • B. Students use concept mapping software to help them organize information for a research paper. C. A first grade class practices math facts while playing Number Munchers in the computer lab.
    • Russ Goerend
       
      If the technology is being used to support the learning, then I'd say "Yes." If it was "How can I use tech? If we play Number Munchers/use concept mapping software, then we'll find some way to make it learning" then I'd say "no." Learning comes first.
  • D. Students use the classroom computers to check their email and read the news at ESPN.com during their free time.

      I'm going to say "yes" and defend it this way: #1 we *do not* own our students' time. Even when they are in school. The two examples Clif gives show students engaged in Literacy of their own making. That is great!

Langwitches » Never Was About Technology?- Time to Focus on Learning? - 0 views

  • Now, I have arrived at a point in the process where I believe that it is not (never was) about technology. To make a difference, it has always been about good teaching, reflecting and focusing on (relevant?) student learning.

      Silvia isn't alone in recognizing that good teaching is more important than technology integration, but she does a nice job of pointing out why.
