This document discusses how teachers can use technology to interact with students to improve participation and success. It outlines 4 goals: 1) conducting a technology use survey, 2) presenting guidelines for proper tech implementation, 3) interacting with peers using discussion tools, and 4) assessing learning with a short quiz. The presentation provides an overview of how interactive technology aligns with social cognitive learning theory and encourages attention, retention, and motivation. It highlights the functionality and financial benefits of tablet computers and interactive whiteboards for engaging lessons.

2. Essential Question:
How can teachers use technology to interact with students to improve
student participation and student success?
Goals:
1. The learner will participate in a survey/audit to determine how
effectively they use interactive technology in their classroom.
2. The learner will be presented with a presentation that will provide
guidelines for proper implementation of interactive technology in the
classroom.
3. The learner will interact with their peers and the presenters utilizing
web discussion tools and reflect on the information that they have
learned during the presentation.
4. The learner will be presented with an opportunity to asses their
knowledge of using interactive tools effectively by taking a short
assessment to gauge what they have learned.

4. How often do you implement these teaching strategies and
approaches to online instruction and learning in your
classroom?

Don’t Worry. You may not be Exemplary today, but after seeing this
presentation and learning more about interactive technology your score
will improve.
We hope this presentation will give you some ideas about how to
communicate with your students and present fun, engaging lessons
using interactive technology.

9. Social Cognitive Theory: Attention
• To imitate a behavior accurately a person must
pay attention to significant aspects of the
behavior.
• Interactive tools like Smartboards and Tablet
computing induce the type of dazzle that
students are drawn to and focus on
attentively.

10. Social Cognitive Theory: Retention and
Motor Reproduction
• After paying attention a learner must recall
the behavior that is being learned and
practice it.
• Rehearsing steps repeatedly increases their
ability to remember what they have learned.
• Interactive tools create a hands on
experience which is easy and nurtures
repetition, remembering, and copying of
essential practices.

11. Social Cognitive Theory: Motivation
• The final necessary factor in modeling
behavior is making sure that the learner has
a drive and willingness to learn material.
• Students these days were raised with a
passion for technology.
• Interactive technology addresses this passion
and baits students into learning lessons while
utilizing a device that they consider “fun”

32. Teachers must follow the Acceptable Use Policy in your school’s
district.
We cannot assume everyone knows what is appropriate and what is
not.
Digital citizenship can be described as the norms of
appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use.

Digital Etiquette (the standards of conduct expected by other digital
technology users)

33. Relax, this thing is a kid magnet!
Kids of all ages are attracted to the board. They want to use
the board at every opportunity.

34. Projects and Presentations
Watch how a teacher used a musical video as a culminating
activity for a global project about tolerance and multicultural
studies.
The students corresponded through technology using
discussions, blogs, and wikis. They all worked on the same
lyrics and created this video to demonstrate their appreciation
for each school location, its students, their culture, and their
differences.
The students are definitely having fun and don’t realize they
are learning, their faces show it and they are very energized
by the project.
