Ready, Aim, Fire: A presentation about technology integration and iPad integr...Joan E. Hughes, Ph.D.
In this presentation, I speak about the challenges of technology integration with a group of U.S. K-12 district superintendents and principals. I use my recent research on a high school's endeavor to integrate iPads into teaching and learning to situate my remarks about technology integration. Topics covered include: school change, vision/goals for technology integration, my RAT (replacement, amplification, transformation) model for assessing lessons that integrate technology, and using subject-specific problems of practice to drive technology-related professional learning for teachers.

Key issues in the 21st Century Future of Education; Pedagogy, Heutagogy, Technology, Social Media, New Learning Infrastructures based on Digital Learning Architectures of Participation We will need teacher as Digital Practitioners and Technology Stewards
Active-Meaningful Learning with Technologies Isa Jahnke
Bei der Anwendung von Internet-fähigen Technologien in der Weiterbildung, beim Online-Lernen und mit zunehmender Integration von mobilen Endgeräten im Alltag entstehen neue Lehr- und Lernräume: CrossActionSpaces. Dies sind dynamische, flexible Informations- und Kommunikationsräume, in denen Lernende die richtigen Antworten online suchen oder diskutieren können. Herausforderungen sind, um einige zu nennen, die Vielzahl falscher Informationen und fehlendes kritisches oder systemisches Denken. Hier kann das Digitale Didaktische Design (DDD) als Lehr-/Lernstrategie helfen. DDD fördert die Gestaltung von Lernen mit Technologien anstelle des Lernens durch Technologien. DDD es ist ein aktivitäts-basiertes Didaktik-Modell, das von der der Grundannahme ausgeht, dass Lernende nicht aufgrund der Aktivitäten der Lehrenden lernen, sondern durch eigene Aktivitäten. Zentrales Element des DDD ist, dass Lernende Artefakte in einem iterativen Prozess erstellen, kritisch reflektieren und verbessern. In der Keynote wird das DDD und Beispiele für meaningful learning with technologies in Weiterbildung und Fernstudium vorgestellt.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. eTools & Beyond
Promoting Constructivist
Learning in the Virtual
Environment
2. Big Ideas
• What is constructivism?
• What are its implications for the classroom?
• How do we use the resources available to
promote this type of learning in the virtual
environment?
o In math
o In other subjects
3. Learning is…constructed.
• squerkle example
• Did you form theories? Did you test those
theories and find yourself needing to revise
them? How would your understanding of a
Squerkle differ if I had only told you a
definition?
7. Learning is…inquiry-based.
• webquest
• Example: http://asterix.ednet.lsu.edu/~edtech/
webquest/canequest.htm
• In our environment: extra credit? extension for
gifted students; supplemental activity posted
to message board. Students can share their
work with classmates. modify an existing
assignment? Obviously more flexibility in
elem.—finished curriculum early?
8. Learning is…evolving.
• definition of a circle in 1st grade, 5th grade,
10th grade?
• real life examples
• not a polygon; can measure radius and
diameter.
• set of points equidistant from a center point,
central angle, arc length
9. Constructivism is a psychological
theory of knowledge (epistemology) [1]
which argues that humans generate
knowledge and meaning from their
experiences. Constructivism is not a
specific pedagogy, although it is often
confused with constructionism
• active learning-class discussion,
think-pair-share, one-minute paper
(webmail follow-up)
10. Taking is to the Virtual Environment
We are in a unique position to implement
constructivist teaching and learning
strategies in the virtual environment,
where teachers and students have a
wealth of computer and Internet-based
resources available.
11. • p. 23 Piaget’s basic assumptions
• -children are active and motivated learners
• children construct knowledge from their
experiences
• zone of proximal development; scaffolding;
student’s individual level of development;
where they can potentially be.
12. Facilitating active learning in
virtual environment
• eTools: with an activity designed to have students
‘discover’ or deduce mathematical truths/patterns
from their own experience. (Squerkle (p.234)
example first?)
• example from eTools
• Show Illuminations—example from a different grade
level.
• People are actively involved in their own learning (p.
194)
13. • p. 201: declarative knowledge—knowledge that
relates to the nature of “how things are” (as opposed
to procedural—how to do things).
• Rehearsal (rote memorization) rel. ineffective
• More effective: meaningful learning—connect to
prior knowledge; organization—make connections
among pieces of new info; elaboration—adding
additional ideas to new information based on prior
knowledge; visual imagery—forming a mental
picture (**5 chinese words example). p. 209
• p. 212: using mnemonics in the absence of relevant
prior knowledge
14. • p. 192: construction of meaning: provide
experiences that will help students make
sense of the topics they are studying
• active involvement in learning: plan activities
that get students actively thinking about and
using classroom subject matter.
15. p. 210 Procedural knowledge involves large mental component, then
also physical behavior.
• procedural knowledge often begins as
declarative knowledge, more laborious
process, mental/verbal cues, but eventually
student can do procedure without going
through all the mental steps.
16. p. 231 Knowledge Construction as
a Social Process
• Livelesson discussion/breakout rooms;
message board responses; blogs;
webmail/student partners
17. • Students may get caught up in readings and
assessments, and have trouble seeing the
‘big picture.’ Use Livelessons to pose
questions and get students constructing their
own meaning for what is being studied.
• Allow collaborative opportunities where
students share their own understandings
18. 3rd - 6th Grade iTexts
• EnvisionMATH iTexts (link found in math lessons on
planner).
• Multimedia glossary
• eTools
19. eTools: Interactive, Virtual Manipulatives to support
conceptual learning of math
• The 3rd-6th grade
eTools support most
of the topics covered
in the curriculum.
Here is just one
example: Using a
virtual spinner to
efficiently conduct
probability How do the size & number of sections on
investigations. the spinner affect the results? How do
our predicted results compare to actual
results?
20. NCTM Illuminations
• Illuminations 3-5 - Activities and
resources for students and teachers.
• Illuminations 6-8 - Activities and
resources for students and teachers.
• Illuminations 9+ - Activities and
resources for students and teachers.
• Illuminations Across the Grades -
These activities and resources cut
across grade levels.
• Illuminations Pre-K-2 - Activities and
resources for students and teachers.
Illuminations 6-8: Isometric Drawing
Tool
21. Social Constructivism
• wiki, message board, ning community, blog,
epen pals, editing partners; literature circles in
breakout sessions; problem solving team in
breakout sessions. Peer tutoring (learning by
teaching). Jigsaw puzzles•wiki. VoiceThread,
flickr, etc.
22. Not the cure-all for improving
learning outcomes.
• Research indicates that constructivist
methods can lead to an increase in higher
order thinking skills, but not necessarily
performance on traditional recall tests. This is
a good argument for using varied teaching
strategies that combine constructivism with
other proven methods.
