Proposal for SXSW EDU: Building an Edtech Bill of Rights. Content contained here resulted from a similar, shorter presentation workshop at the Milken Penn GSE Conference
The document outlines 12 leadership principles for incorporating technology into education: vision, planning, access, integration, assessment, support, professional development, community relationships, ethical and legal issues, and resources. It provides examples for each principle, such as a school district whose vision is to use technology purposefully to enhance learning rather than for its own sake, and a program offering technology courses to seniors and parents in computer labs. The principles are meant to guide stakeholders in developing technology plans and ensuring technology is used effectively to support educational goals.
You know keeping technology running is very challenging. Toss in the demands of adding new technology from staff and it's a wonder you get any sleep. RMM Solutions can show you a better way to handle your IT requests with an IT ticketing system. We will discuss the benefits of balancing your resources, monitoring the environment, receiving alerts and creating customized reporting so you’re in control. You will have a way to handle technology needs to ensure your school runs faster, experiences more up-time and what we really care about—the students receive a great education.
There is a difference between merely using technology in the classroom and properly integrating it. Technology integration involves incorporating technology resources and practices into daily classroom routines, work, and management to help students learn and teachers teach. Effective integration could include using an electronic whiteboard daily, having students use technology for projects and presentations, and maintaining a class website or blog for parents. Proper integration of technology provides numerous benefits for students like facilitating research, allowing easier collaboration, and helping those with disabilities or visual learners.
The document discusses putting learning first through the effective use of technology in schools. It proposes four ideas to help unlock the potential of technology and educators: 1) Plan and test innovations through building buy-in, flexibility, collaboration, and evaluation. 2) Invest long-term in educators' capacity through professional development, communication, and collaboration. 3) Make the most of education data through data literacy, privacy, and using data to generate insights rather than just accountability. 4) Pick the right partners by discussing shared values and commitment, collaborating closely, and regularly evaluating partnerships. The overall message is that technology should be implemented strategically and collaboratively to best support student learning.

Printed materials are an accessible and cost-effective technology for distance education. They allow students to access course content anywhere and at their own pace. While the upfront costs of developing printed materials are low, electronic fulfillment has lowered the per-unit cost and increased flexibility. Printed materials enable one-way interaction between students and content and are easy to use with no additional equipment required. However, they have limitations and do not engage all learning styles. Organizational support is needed to produce printed materials in alternative formats and incorporate this technology successfully.

The document cautions that the learning objective should drive tool selection and notes limitations like educators' technical skills and student privacy/safety.
This document discusses using project-based learning (PBL) and educational technology (EdTech) in the classroom through the lens of the Critical Skills Classroom model. The session will explore how PBL and EdTech can be integrated in a way that has students do more of the work without increasing the teacher's workload. Attendees will consider how this approach could fit with current technology uses and expectations, and support students in becoming better technology consumers, as well as how it could adapt to changing curricular or technology environments.
Using technology in the classroom presentationMelissa Smith
The document discusses how integrating technology into the classroom can benefit both students and teachers, with examples of different technologies being used like MP3 players, video cameras, and computer programs to enhance engagement and create projects. It argues that technology allows students to become more exploratory learners who can produce meaningful projects, and that using available resources can improve test scores, retention, and create a more engaged learning experience.
Studies have shown that test scores are higher in schools where students are more familiar with technology and have it integrated into learning. Using technology requires students to develop problem solving skills that help them learn, and learning basic computer skills prepares students for almost any career by developing job skills required in most positions today.
The document discusses the role of the principal as a technology leader in schools. It states that technology integration should occur across all aspects of a school, not just in the classroom. To be an effective technology leader, the principal must create an inspiring atmosphere for new ideas, foster collaboration between teachers, parents and students, serve as a connected learner who models technology use, and provide necessary resources and professional development for teachers. The principal's job is to develop a new vision for technology in the school and demonstrate that everyone's input is valued.
This document discusses the ACTIONS model for selecting educational media technologies. The ACTIONS model evaluates technologies based on 7 criteria: Accessibility, Costs, Teaching and Learning fit, Interactivity and ease of use, Organizational Issues, Novelty, and Speed. Each of the 7 criteria contain several questions to consider when assessing which technology best fits an educational needs and context.
The document discusses the effects of technology on secondary level education. It poses questions about whether technology hinders learning, if schools should integrate more technology into their curriculum, and ways to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of technology on student learning. Opinions on both sides are presented from educators and experts on the topic.

E-Learning, CAL, TEL - What do they all have in common? #IFAA2019JamesPickering11
Professor James Pickering gave a presentation titled "Brave New E-World! The Promises and Pitfalls of Electronic Learning Resources for Teaching the Anatomical Sciences" at the #IFAA2019 conference. He discussed how technology has changed learning and the new generation of students. While technology can enhance learning if designed properly, it also has drawbacks like increased cognitive load and health issues. The evidence on the impact of technology-enhanced learning in anatomy is mixed. Technology itself is neither good nor bad, and its impact depends on implementation and how it is integrated with expert instruction.
This article discusses implementing technology in education. It addresses both the positive and negative impacts of technology in classrooms. School districts are developing plans to better integrate technology, but many face challenges affording advanced systems. Smaller schools address limitations by accepting donated computers and community support to improve technology use on smaller budgets. The conclusion states that technology is an important part of life that schools must embrace by creating technology plans and tapping student resources to help with integration.

The impact of technology on society - how to become a responsible designer of...SURF Events
In deze sessie zullen Jo-An en John het hebben over waarom het belangrijk is om na te denken over de impact van technologie op mens en maatschappij (en hoe we die gedachten naar de praktijk kunnen brengen). We bekijken technologie niet alleen vanuit een dystopisch perspectief (wat er mogelijk mis kan gaan) maar ook vanuit een utopisch perspectief (hoe we de samenleving beter kunnen betrekken bij de technologie die we ontwerpen of gebruiken). We bespreken onder andere de Technology Impact Cycle Tool, ontwikkeld door Fontys, die je na de sessie direct kunt gebruiken in je eigen beroepspraktijk. (Deze sessie is in het Engels.)
Technology integration is better than just technology use in schools according to the document. Technology integration involves using technology productively to enhance learning, while technology use is simply having electronic devices available without a focus on how they improve education. The document discusses reasons some argue for just technology use, such as budget constraints, time issues, and teachers lacking skills, but says technology integration should be the focus since it engages students, improves skills, and prepares them for a technology-focused society and future careers.

Technology In Education,The Key Factors For Success by Inna Stevensguest9fb7a92
Facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources.
Educational Technology includes, but is not limited to, software, hardware, as well as Internet applications and activities.
Technology In Education,The Key Factors For Success Inna StevensInna_Stevens
Technology in education facilitates learning and improves performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. Educational technology includes software, hardware, internet applications, and activities such as podcasts, websites, MP3 players, interactive whiteboards, and social media. Successful integration of technology depends on it being relevant to the educational context, teachers being trained and ready to integrate it, and support from school leadership, administrators, and government ministries of education.
The document discusses how technology can be used to improve outcomes for high-poverty and low-achieving students. It suggests providing individualized instruction, drills, and learning methods that students find engaging and non-threatening. It also discusses how school leaders can mandate meaningful technology integration aligned with curriculum standards. The document notes that teachers often feel a lack of support due to issues like workload, lack of parental and administrative support, and unequal treatment. Addressing this will require understanding teachers' concerns through surveys and forums and gaining perspective from policymakers who spend time in classrooms.
An ITRT (Instructional Technology Resource Teacher) provides on-site assistance to teachers to help incorporate new technologies into their teaching. ITRTs are shown to be more effective than other forms of professional development in helping teachers use technology for learning. However, when ITRTs were introduced, teachers and administrators were unfamiliar with their role, and ITRTs did not know the specific needs of teachers across many schools. The document discusses solutions for ITRTs to provide training and support to help teachers at all experience levels effectively use technology.
Teaching and technology can have a positive impact on social inclusion by helping to close the digital divide. Evidence from learner progress records, individual learning plans, and achievement data show that teaching with technology helps learners gain confidence, skills, and opportunities that contribute to their well-being and employability. To maximize this impact, the organization takes a holistic view of learners' development and adopts comprehensive approaches to evaluating outcomes.
The EdTech Genome Project - Jefferson Education ExchangeDan Brown
The Jefferson Education Exchange is coordinating The EdTech Genome Project, a sector-wide initiative aimed at helping educators and education leaders make better-informed decisions about edtech.
This document summarizes an article about using electronic portfolios in learning. It discusses how technology is increasingly important in education and can be used for formative and summative assessment. Electronic portfolios allow students to collect work from both inside and outside the classroom to reflect on their learning. The document also reviews literature on integrating technology in education, the importance of technological pedagogical content knowledge, and how standards help ensure technology is used effectively in teaching.
Project-based learning is a student-centered approach that emphasizes hands-on, active learning. Students work independently or collaboratively to investigate an authentic problem, question, or challenge and produce a tangible product or presentation. Incorporating technology allows students to effectively use tools like video cameras, presentation software, and podcasts to support their research and presentations. When implementing project-based learning, teachers take on a facilitator role and must consider how technology can support individual, pair, and group work while also preparing students to use technologies appropriately and productively.
This presentation was delivered to OCSOA region two in May 2013. The focus was on the role of leadership in helping to transition a K-12 school district to learning and teaching in the 21st Century.
This document provides information about an introductory technology course for teaching and learning. It includes the course description, outcomes, and units. The course explores basic ICT knowledge, skills, and values for using technology in education. It covers ICT policies, safety issues, and using media and technology across content areas. Students will learn about flexible learning environments, platforms, and tools. They will also identify learning theories and principles for designing technology-enhanced lessons. The overall aim is for students to understand how to utilize technology appropriately and innovatively for teaching, learning experiences, and assessments while considering social, ethical and legal responsibilities.
Although this tutorial is created primarily for teachers, it considers ISTE standards from all three standards sets (student, teacher and administrator) that relate to digital citizenship, as well as the legal, human, social and ethical issues surrounding using technology in education.
My portfolio is a purposely collection of my work that exhibits my efforts, progress, and achievements in educational technology. This portfolio includes a summary of lessons about edtech that surely help students, especially the future educator. As a future a educator, edtech will surely help me on how I am going to facilitate learning of my future students with the help of appropriate technology.
