Editor's Notes
- (no notes)
- We have come a long way with technology. How things are used, various functions, capabilities Children , young adults are in particular tuned in to a lot of these products and are able to use them effectively. Young people are interested, take advantage of that
- My four points include those listed in sllide, Give overview in terms of advantages, possible benefits that each point brings, no details, just things to consider
- This picture introduces the first point, participation. Not a very inviting academic setting we see yet traditionally this is the typical classroom, obviously a bit exaggerated for effect. It will be hard in this setting to do anything more than sit and listen Participation will be very limited The physical layout allows for one group to be led by a teacher who is doing the bulk of talking.
- With some kinds of technology, things can be different, there can be more participation, students who are engaged with what is going on. Smartboards, use polling devices for example allowing all to contribute to a question/answer/opinion type of format Gives teacher instant feedback on what the group as a whole feels or thinks Interactive smartboards allow students to come up (as pictured) but still allows the others to respond to what the two students did at the board. Use of quick quizzes, response allows teacher to keep tabs on the class as well adding to assessment tools Virtual classrooms another example of how more can participate. -traditionallly less confident, shy people find it easier to be online -synchronous online classes gives realtime experiences -asynchronous doesn’t allow real time but still holds accountable students to do all participation required. Mobility for teachers as they walk around room with remote access to whiteboard, hand over tablet to student so they can write on it - from article by Denise Byrd (2005)
- This slide introduces the reality of some classrooms -no technology -perhaps outdated curriculum -not much inspiration
- Although tech can be costly, in the long run can be cheaper than buying traditional curriculum Use of laptops provides the world into the classroom without additional costs to the school, software can be found for free allowing many more learning to be done through the computer Better attendance , fewer tardies - from article by Kemker (2007) -connections can be made beyond the classroom -community connections Lessens the disparity between high and low socio-economic schools. Instead of rebuilding schools when the money isn’t there, rebuild your materials, in this case utilize computers to open up the world
- Samples of how whiteboards are being used from Denise Byrd’s article (2005) -map retrieval for social studies -stamps of coins or the measurement activities with built in rulers -drag and drop items from resource library that students can interact with -Computers are capable of presenting activities that are interesting and motivating to children -Children can work at their own pace and while receiving the needed amount of practice (Macaruso, Walker. 2008) -At risk children out performed others in study done by Macaruso, Walker. (2008)
- (no notes, just introduce the topic)
- -authentic instruction focuses on the student, and is meaningful and relevant to life outside of school -Teachers are able to move students beyond memorization of facts by creating experiences that demand sustained, disciplined, and critical thinking on topics that have real-life relevance…from Kemker (2007)
- Technology is here to stay and must be embedded to our everyday lives. Schools, educators owe it to students to integrate this into their educational experience because they will be using it far beyond their years in school. Look long term, employers will desire knowledgeable employees, etc.
