Integrating technology into the classroom
- 1. Integrating Technology into the Classroom Erica Pitrack 1/8/17 Cur545/Patrick
- 2. Vision Statement Technology has become part of the educational process, but too often it is separate and not integrated into the learning experience (Educationworldcom, 2017).
- 3. Goal and Objective Facilitating group activities Conducting research Communicating final projects
- 4. Facilitating group activities Cooperative learning is characterized by positive interdependence, where students perceive that better performance by individuals produces better performance by the entire group (Johnson, et al., 2014). It can be formal or informal, but often involves specific instructor intervention to maximize student interaction and learning (Vanderbiltedu, 2017).
- 5. Conducting Research Multimedia Presentation What is it? Multimedia can be viewed as a melting pot as it combines graphics, text, video, sound to represent, and animation to communicate information.
- 6. Communicating final projects Google documents What is it? A document that can be access from multiple computers allowing individuals to edit with each other from various locations. What‘s great is a teacher can use this as a sign up sheet an email it to specific parties; where details on roles and parts can simply be done on an online document.
- 7. Manage following aspects One computer Multi computer classroom Handheld devices IPad’s, tablets, or laptop's
- 8. One computer classrooms Post a schedule: allow a set time for each student at the computer station. Draw popsicle sticks: write each students name on a stick; pick a student then when that students turn is done they will pick the next one and so forth. Establish color coded groups: if able to divide the class in five groups. After groups are picked; simply place the paper at station. (Educationworldcom, 2017).
- 9. Multi computer classrooms organization and management. Scheduling and rotation are an important aspect of the "wired" (McKenzie, 1998) classroom. Teachers need to plan ahead for student rotation in an efficient way. There are many variables that come into play such as the number of computers available for each student and the effectiveness of the learning activities. Students work at a different pace. Even in a classroom with a computer for each person there is a need to provide work for the fast working students who have finished the task and have spare time (Nelliemullercom, 2017).
- 10. Handheld devices Here are simply five tips to help with a smooth transition: 1. Establish new norms 2. Treat devices as learning tools 3. Use a phone cubby for testing 4. Encourage sharing 5. Connect student with educational applications (Catlintuckercom, 2014).
- 11. IPad‘s, tablets, or laptops Above all, the common theme is ORGANIZATION. Having everything numbered (library system) and assign it to each student. We often forget about storage for our technology. Structure of the classroom layout may change based on that. Create classroom rules with your children; this will add responsibilities as they are using such expense equipment.

Editor's Notes
- Integrating technology into the curriculum is a priority -- if not a mandate -- in most schools today. 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 (Educationworldcom, 2017).
- As always you want to have a smooth transition when adding technology into your program . It is best to have at least two participates but no more than six when in a group setting. It may be best as you, (the educator/teacher) to assign the roles to avoid conflict among team members. This way everyone is able to get the full experience.
- Many teachers have found that students are motivated to learn when they can use technology to present the results of a research project or activity. The multimedia presentation contains content but the messages are conveyed by the students selection of the media (Isteorg, 2017).
