Technology can increase student learning and engagement when used effectively in the classroom. Research shows that technology use leads to higher achievement, better social skills, and preparation for future jobs when teachers receive proper training. Without adequate teacher training and a plan for instructional technology, the resources may be wasted and student learning may not improve.

Title
Do University Faculty Model Technology Integration?
Terry Fakeperson
University of Patagonia, Chile
Abstract
The integration of technology into the classroom through instructor-modeled and learner-centered means is recommended best practice for teacher preparation. Using a self-report survey, this study investigated technology use by faculty in a university school of education program to determine (a) if university faculty model technology use within the learning environment, and (b) if student’s employ technology within educator preparation courses. Both were found to be dependent on the type of technology available. Overall results indicated (a) faculty do not model most technology integration types, and (b) a discrepancy exists between faculty modeling of technology integration and required student demonstration of technology integration. University faculty model less technology use than is expected of those enrolled in a teacher preparation program.
BEGIN BODY OF TEXT
University professors are are encouraged to model technology use within their instruction. (Insert reference #1 here) To create effective learning environments, certain essential conditions must be met: (a) the use of technology for traditional teaching, (b) the facilitation of content learning, and (c) technology use in the learning environment both in coursework and field experiences (Insert reference #2 here)
Teacher preparation must address competencies required for technology use by PreK-12 teachers (Insert reference #3 here). The Ed Tech teacher endorses the integration of instructional technology into teacher preparation coursework within six categories that are relevant to both groups. The categories include: Technology Operations and Concepts; Planning and Designing Learning Environments and Experiences; Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum; Assessment and Evaluation; Productivity and Professional Practice; and, Social, Ethical, Legal, and Human Issues (Insert reference #4 here).
In a discussion of technology in teacher preparation, Farnsworth (Insert reference #5 here) present four possible approaches: single course; technology infusion; student performance; and case-based. The first two approaches relate directly to faculty expertise in technology and the modeling of its use. Although the single course approach is taught by faculty experts and is easiest on implementation and record-keeping, negatives include poor integration of technology in content areas, lack of attention to individual technology knowledge differences, and a relatively short time frame for learning and technology use to occur. A single course usually presents only a functional view of technology with no focus on how to use it in a classroom. The technology infusion approach includes the integration of technology use in each course of a teacher preparation program. This approach offers opportunities for long-term technology use and the modeling of .
BARRIERS TO CALL PRACTICES IN AN EFL CONTEXT: A CASE STUDY OF PREPARATORY YEA...ijdpsjournal
The present study attempts to find out the practical barriers to technology integration in an Arab EFL
scenario, particularly in the context of Preparatory Year English courses. The practical barriers to CALL
practices are multifaceted and vary according to contexts. In this mixed method study, 50 ESL teachers
were surveyed using a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire. The questionnaire focused on the pedagogical,
technological, personal and administrative barriers to CALL integration in an EFL context. In addition, 21
teachers participated in the focus group discussion. Overall, the survey results found that the barriers
influencing CALL integration in the study context were moderate. However, lack of administrative support,
inadequate training, and absence of suitable materials were found as significant barriers to CALL
integration. The focus group discussion reiterated the issues and suggested practical solutions for
maximization of CALL practices. The study suggests a holistic administrative approach to solve the
barriers to CALL integration.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
Stress research, data to backup all points about technology and education To keep slides from being too cluttered, I have each source listed as a number in parenthesis after data or facts, the end slide lists details for all sources and the number correlating to the numbers in the presentation
With a bow, an arrow can be shot with more speed, from farther away, and with more accuracy; same with technology, learning is faster, information is retained longer, and understood with more proficiency Why should we use technology? One main reason is because children today are not engaged and do not learn as well when using traditional instructional methods, like teacher lectures Research shows that technology can aid in the following: (read list) In the next slides I will provide research for each point
Why technology reason 1: -Using technology effectively increases student learning; we will talk more later about effective methods for using technology -Technology has been shown to raise test scores; 1.) one 8 year long study showed that technology use consisting of portable computers raises students SAT 1 score by 94 points when compared to students who did not use technology, another study shows that using instructional technology for reading and math increased 5 th grade SAT 9 test scores 2.) Student using computer based instruction scored at the 64 th percentile compared to students who did not use computer based instruction who scored at the 50 th percentile, a difference of 14 percentiles -technology helps students with learning disabilities or who are disadvantaged perform higher 1.) Using a higher order thinking skills program for disadvantaged students in 4 th -7 th grade resulted in twice the gains on math and reading test scores 2.) research on computer based instruction shows that technology can help raise students with special needs performance levels to that of other students
Why technology increases student learning reason 3: -Using technology effectively can enable learning at a higher level Students who used Jasper video software in math for 3-4 weeks could complete problem solving tasks where students who did not have video software could not 8 th grade math students who used simulation and higher order thinking software gained 15 weeks on students who did not Students who use technology and communication tools to complete, publish, and share projects developed critical thinking skills When using collaborative computer applications students understanding was on a deeper level
Two more reasons for Why technology: improves social skills and provides work preparation Social skills Students were observed in a technology rich classroom for 6 weeks, teacher reported less fighting between class members, and reported more interaction in the form of teaching or helping each other by the end of the trial time Work preparation Why is work preparation important? To prepare students for the future Students who use career preparation technology like Tech Prep or career academics learn how to behave in a job setting and are better prepared for future jobs Student who use programs to do group work to solve problems and collect and present data both orally and in writing get an idea of what the working world is like
Last reason for Why technology: shows greater student engagement and higher motivation and achievement -Two studies result in better attitudes, 1.) students that received computer based instruction had better attitudes and 2.) students who used interactive technologies had better attitudes and teacher instruction changed from lecture to cooperative group work When students were exposed to a technology rich classroom for 6 weeks, they focused for longer periods of time and were harder to get to stop working - when in technology rich classrooms all students, including special needs students, of all ages had higher achievement and motivation
There are other research studies that show technology is not effective in aiding student learning. In these studies, technology was used in the wrong way. Sometimes it is hard to want to start using something because you have seen it go very wrong. (arrow comparison) Reasons why technology fails Teachers do not receive effective training Teachers or students have poor attitudes when it comes to using technology Using technology or methods that have been shown to be ineffective Failed technology results in Wasted district money and resources, and lost instructional time Creates an even worse attitude towards technology Avoiding these things is the best way to keep technology use effective, the best way to avoid all these is to form a technology plan
Research supports that wrong use of technology can make it ineffective One wrong use is attitude When teachers have better attitudes about technology students have higher achievement, having a poor attitude will do the opposite Another wrong use is method of delivery Teachers that used technology for drill and practice actually had lower NAEP test scores A final wrong use is not having teachers trained A 1997 report in the President’s Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology shows that few teachers feel comfortable implementing technology use in the curriculum Technology can positively affect special needs students. If teachers aren’t comfortable using technology, they wont use it, and special needs students will suffer more
Now that we know technology can be effective, and we know ways that make it ineffective, we need to look at ways to make technology use successful Similar to learning how to and practicing shooting a bow 3 main factors in using technology in research proven effective methods Administration needs to be educated on the benefits of technology use and needs to focus schools on obtaining and implementing technology Teachers need to be trained on effective use of technologies and have support for when they have questions or problems Technology use needs to follow the curriculum goals and state standards to be effective These steps combine to form a technology plan, the technology plan will keep the school on the right track with technology use in education Without these 3 factors, technology will not be effective, similar to shooting the bow and arrow, but still missing the target
Research data for How technology: Teacher training is essential for technology to be effective (top left bullet) 8 th grade math students showed improvements of 13 weeks above average when their teachers have professional development on using technology (bottom left) when teacher receive training on technology, their students achievement is higher Diagram shows how teacher training on computer use aids in both achievement and positive school climate Technology must be used properly in order for it to be effective (top right bullet) 8 th grade students who used computers for higher order of thinking development had higher NAEP scores than students who used computers for drill and practice (middle right bullet) teachers who used computers for higher order thinking created higher achieving math students in the 4 th and 8 th grade (bottom right bullet) 9 th grade math students who used intelligent tutor software without teacher guidance did not understand or apply new knowledge, with teacher guidance students did (source 2)
Chart shows percentile gains of students who used technology over students who did not use technology. The chart shows us a few different things Technology does not have the same effectiveness in all subject areas and grade levels (most effective in special education and least effective in pre college science) Shows us that using technology does result in some gains, even if the gains are small If our goal is to better educate our students, isn’t technology a tool worth looking into? Even if it only increases student gains by 9 percentiles, isn’t a 9 percentiles gain higher than it would be otherwise? Those small gains may be the difference between meeting AYP and not meeting AYP, or the difference between a 24 on an ACT and a 26, may be enough of a difference to be eligible for a higher scholarship.
I believe that as a school district we need to say YES to technology! Similar to a bow and arrow, with training and maintenance technology will help us reach our educational goals Lets review the research: read bullet 2, and keep in mind those wrong ways to use technology Technology will benefit the school district in that NCLB standards will be met easier Technology saves money and time (as shown on the previous slides, students will learn materials on a higher level faster, and one additional study that has not been previously discussed showed that using basic skills and computer education was more cost effective than tutoring, smaller class sizes, and longer instructional time Technology will help reach one goal of education: to create lifelong learners Let’s use our resources to hit the bullseye. Open up for questions Thank you.
