Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon,colleagues. Thank you for your time. We're using a Lunch and Learn setting to help make integrating technology easier. So let's just think for a minute. Think back to your school days.What was your classroom like?What did you do for fun? Now, let's think about this generation (your teenage or elementary-aged children, grandchildren, nieces, and/or nephews). Do you think their work is the same?What do they do for fun? There is a difference in how students learn now compared to how we learned.This doesn’t mean we learned wrong, we just have to make some adjustments. According to Capella University (n.d.) "Since students are already interested and engaged in technology, teachers can harness that attention for educational purposes. Incorporating the internet, laptops, tablets and even smartphones into the curriculum has many benefits for teachers and students alike" (para. 1). In this presentation,I hope to answer some of the looming questions and put your mind at ease.
- Read this quote. Think about what it means to you.Now we're going to pair up. HOwever, we're going to pair up a little differently.SInce you're eating let's Instant Message your partner. When you are ready to share (about 2-3 minutes), one person send an Instant Message to me. Guess what...we just integrated technology. We could have used text messaging or a message board. Yes, it can be that easy.
- It may seem gloomy when trying to integrate technology if the classroom only has one computer. However, it is possible.Here are some suggestions:schedule times in the computer labs, or et up a classroom schedule for time for students to use the computer throughout the week.You can connect to a projectoror interactive whiteboard, maintain grades, communication with parents,and preparing instructional materials.
- Now you have some computers,but not enough for each student to use at the same time. You can schedule a time to check out the technology cart, arrange students in groups so that each group can use a computer, or again connect to the interactive whiteboard or projector.
