Editor's Notes
- (Menu Screen)Today we are going to talk about a lot of different advantages that our students would have if we integrated technology throughout the school.The US in general is lacking in work force preparation in schools. Through new technology we would increase their understanding of applications used in the workforce.There are proven instructional strategies that increase student learning. If we could pair these instructional strategies with technology the possibilities for student learning are endless.Technology increases critical thinking skills and we’ll discuss a research study that has proven this. We will also talk about a plan of action to use technology in a positive manner in our classrooms.
- We are a rural school. Sometimes it is difficult to hire specialty teachers and we may not always have the resources to do so. Through technology we can use online classrooms to broaden our students knowledge and design curriculum more student centered. We can also find benefits in these four main points: work force preparation, student achievement, critical thinking skills and a plan of action, which we will go more into detail about on the following slides.
- One mission as a school should be to prepare our students for success after high school. Research shows that when students learn to use and apply applications used in the world of work (word processors, spreadsheets, computer-aided drawing, website development, and then internet) they acquire some of the prerequisite skills for the workforce.Social Media has become more frequent and students who tend to use this more often will have the skills needed for online conferencing in the workplace. There have also been new basic skills created due to technology in the work place.Group work, solving problems, organizing data
- This map shows where each country measure up in Math and Science education relative to a competitive economy. The US isn’t too far behind some of the other big countries, but through technology, we can definitely create the skills needed to compete.
- 9 Instructional Strategies that have proven to increase student learningIdentifying simliarities and differencesSummarizing and note takingProviding recognitionHomework and practiceNonlinguistic representationsCooperative learningSetting objectivesGenerating and testing hypotheses and cuesQuestionsAdvanced organizersThere are many ways to incorporate technology within each of these that would not only enhance the learning but would engage the students in active learning. The picture in the slide is an editing tool found in word that shows all of the changes made to the paper. This could be a great revision tool for homework to enhance student learningOther options to enhance student learning may include: graphic organizers, online rubrics, note takers, websites, Powerpoint, KidspirationAre these effective instructional strategies alone? YESWould they be more engaging and effective if their was technology inluded? YES!
- Technology tools support the development of higher order thinking skillsMath StudyAcross 9 states Program called Jasper- video software used as a centerpiece for math instruction for three to four weeksCompared findings with students who did not use JasperThe students in classrooms who used the Jasper video program were better able to complete complex problem-solving tasks and critical thinking tasks.A second study was done using a computer program with ninth grade algebra On average, the 470 students in the experimental class using the software outperformed students in comparison classes by 15% on the standardized tests and 100% on tests targeting the curriculum-focused obectives.
- Kevin Bosey, a professor at Northern Kentucky University put together a plan of action for teachers who teach the gifted to start using technology in their classrooms. I believe it could be used in any type of classroom. He says that first and foremost teachers need to begin professional development which would stem from the administrators. Once they’ve received adequate training they would then begin to set goals for themselves. Finally they would access resources for class to complete their goals.
- This is a decision making matrix for technologies in instituions that Kenneth Ashford-Rowe has developed with is colleagues. Through the use of this matrix, schools can determine what resources to invest in that would be the best to promote student learning.
- Technology integration has to be a joint effort between administration and teachers. We all have to consider what is best for our students.Why not integrate technology? If it will engage the students and enhance their learning. Why not?There are way too many positives from the things I talked about throughout this presentation to not integrate technology. I only gave you a few examples, I am sure there are hundreds more.
