This document discusses using technology to drive differentiated instruction in the classroom. It begins by introducing Vicki Davis, the teacher, and providing links to online resources. It then discusses using an educational network, wiki, personal learning networks, audio/video creation, and global collaboration to engage students with different learning styles. Specific tools that support different styles are outlined for each category. The focus is on giving students choice and voice through various technological means.

Classroom teacher. Some people know me as
, ”poster child for the beginner” Like my youngest son, who has just learned to read, I’m a relative newcomer to these technologies. In November 2005, I attended the
Georgia Educators Technology Conference in Atlanta with a commission from my curriculum director to bring technologies back to my classroom that would enable me to betterfacilitiate
Research based best practices such as
Authentic assessment
Cooperative Learning and
Project based learning. I must admit, I felt a little like this (pause)
Pause for them to get it.
And that is what I suggest for you to do today. Your assignment for this webinar today is to come up with your “Big Three” at the end of the webinar. Pick three things – start there!
In the 1920’s and 30’s radioactivity was “all the rage” and everyone assumed because springwater was radioactive that it must be good for you – so here comes the revigator. This revigator cured all kinds of things including arthritis, flatulence, senility, and poisoning. Over 200,000 people bought this clay pot lined with radioactive clay.
However when a team of researchers studied this, they found toxic levels of many chemicals including arsenic and lead from the pure lead spout!
But understand this – there is only one person you can control in your district and that person, my friends is YOU!
But, remember just as this child is climbing a very high rock climbing wall – that there are safe ways to do what some consider dangerous. This is being done. Get past the fear and learn vicariously through others by reading their blogs and watching their videos at the k12 online conference to let them prove it to you. If you’re a technology phobic person remember that you become like who you hang around – start letting yourself learn from what others are doing to move forward your creativity – you may also find that you’ll save money!
The technology misconception is that it is not about the technology.
The technology misconception is that it is not about the technology.
Programs like the 23 things are SO effective for teachers and librarians because it allows them to embed their professional development. Take time during the week.
Instead your professional development should be in small succulent bites – on a weekly basis through these global connections – reading our RSS reader. In fact,
Our professional development looks like this – we put so much into 10 hours that they cannot digest it all. It is too much and overloads them.
So, I embed my learning and take 15 minutes 2-3 times a week to learn and explore new technologies and this, has been the thing that has led to the complete transformation of my classroom! But you don’t have time – you say.
There is too much information and you need to rely on your friends as your filter. Additionally, this isn’t just about lifelong learning but about lifelong renewal – we have to keep relearning or we FORGET!! As Socrates said, “we lose the remembrance of them.” Additionally,
The Flat Classroom project and the
Horizon Projects which have linked
The technology misconception is that it is not about the technology.
We don’t teach blogging, wikis, podcasting for their sake, but for what they let us do.
We’re on a journey. However, we need to know that
In that movie, the “precious” ring was evil. In our cases, we must know that
most technologies are morality-neutral. It is how you use them that determines its use.
How many of you think cupcakes are good! Are they?
What about when it is used to hurt someone’s feelings?
Or how about when a compulsion to eat them makes a person obese? What do we do?
Ban cupcakes? That is preposterous! We teach people to be kind and to use cupcakes in good ways? Shouldn’t we do the same thing with?
Cell phones
Cell phones
Cell phones
We don’t ban scissors and they could kill someone! We teach kids not to run with them! To use them well and our schools are full of other dangerous weapons such as
Pens, pencils, and even the human hand. Just thinking of that, they are completely full of the most dangerous weapon ever invented…
Man. Men, women, boys, and girls can do irreparable harm, and yet we don’t ban humans. Instead, we teach the humans in our school out to behave appropriately. That is what we do in school and
But the question remains, why do we need to change? My husband always says that the only people who like change are babies with dirty diapers and even then, they cry the whole time! (click on the baby for the Movie.)
Some people feel like this when considering merging their classrooms with another. But you don’t get there overnight. As you take a look at what I’m sharing with you today, remember this…
Just remember, the lesson of the watermelon as you consider today’s menu. How do you eat a watermelon?
If you eat it whole, you’ll choke.
No, the way you eat a watermelon is one bit at a time.
And that is what I suggest for you to do today. Your assignment for this webinar today is to come up with your “Big Three” at the end of the webinar. Pick three things – start there!
The technology misconception is that it is not about the technology.
People in our society are counting the cost of everything, so when we implement technology, we’d better make sure it is.
That the things we used in school are efficient, effective, and transport us to a better education for our kids.
That the things we used in school are efficient, effective, and transport us to a better education for our kids.
That the things we used in school are efficient, effective, and transport us to a better education for our kids.
We can implement technology but it better be for a purpose and not just to look cute, so today we’re going to talk about technology driven differentiation and the other things to make our schools successful.
The technology misconception is that it is not about the technology.

Elementary schools use private tools (free) tools like think.com to create private spaces for students to network all over the world. Cheryl Oakes from Maine works with this school and tells me she has enjoyed think.com for some time. In fact, my good friend Cheryl couldn’t be here tonight because she’s on Seedlings Bit By Bit on Edtechtalk.com right now – I hope that after tonight, you’ll listen to her new show at www.edtechtalk.com
