1. OUR PEDAGOGY BEHIND TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION

2. • More self-motivated
• Better equipped to capture information
• More reliant on feedback from peers
• More inclined to collaborate
• More orientated to being their own ‘modes of
production’ Education Trends | Featured News

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT OUR
DIGITAL STUDENTS?

3. We must develop strategies and effective practices that
would utilise the technology, where applicable, to cater for
our students and meet their needs as learners.
We need to understood that todays students would expect
nothing less than the technology that is readily available to
them.
That we needed to adopt the notion of…
Anywhere, Anytime Learning within a Mobile Technology
Context.
HOW DOES THE AFORE MENTIONED AFFECT TEACHING

4. When involved in team planning; we must think and focus
on the following:
Learning Intention - what will we learn about?
Success Criteria (Evidence of learning) - what can we demonstrate to show that
our learning has been successful?
Reflection - how will the students articulate their learning?
Resources - what resources we need?
How can we utilise, if needed, the technology to foster and assist authentic
learning?
THE HOW

5. S A M R was created by Dr.
Ruben R. Puentedura in the early
90s.
The model identifies using
technology for more defined
purposes rather than that of
‘Substitution’ purposes.
Allowing technology integration
to modify and redefine tasks
that set to ensure that creativity,
collaboration and
communication is heavily
fostered.
THE SAMR MODEL

“Teachers need
to stop saying,
‘Hand it in,’ and
start saying
‘Publish It,’
instead”

THE SAMR MODEL

7. We want our students to direct and personalise their own learning.
When a task is set by teachers, students can be, where applicable,
given the space to present their work in a way that encourages the
integration of the the SAMR Model using the technology available to
them.
It must be made very clear to students that although they can present
their work in a number of ways that is engaging to them, the Learning
Intention and Success Criteria must be met. From here, formal
assessment can occur across the task.
STUDENT DIRECTED LEARNING

8. THE FINDINGS
Since our inaugural year in 2009, we have discovered
through data collection, assessment, and observation
the following...

9. That the technology can be an extremely powerful tool to support
student learning.

10. Differentiation can occur through technology integration when
student directed learning opportunities occur.

11. Online collaboration can become very powerful and meaningful.

12. We want our learners to not be solely consumers of information. That
through their own creativity and publication, they can contribute in
a powerful and meaningful way to the internet by giving back.
Promote and publish.

13. Lastly...
That the integration of technology is not difficult. That students will
lead the way and do what works best for their own learning, as they
should.
