AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON K-12 TEACHERS'
USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND MULTIMEDIA IN THE CLASSROOM
INTRODUCTION
Teachers
positively support their curricular goals and enhance
classroom instruction (Smerdon, B., Cronen, S., Lanahan, L.,
Anderson, J., Lannotti, N., & Angeles, J. (2000); Gray,
Thomas & Lewis, 2010). There are multiple technology tools
st
in the 21 century available for teachers to integrate in their
classroom for these purposes; however, there are
challenges. These tools change rapidly so it becomes
inherent for schools to have current technology and
teachers that are sufficiently prepared to use these
technology tools (Hinostroza, 2011). Often teachers do not
understand terminology necessary to communicate when
using these tools. Two terms educators commonly use
interchangeably are technology and multimedia. The term
“technology” denotes the hardware that is used in the
classroom and the term “multimedia”conveys software
applications combining digital media types, such as text,
images, sound, and video, which are the definitions used in
this study. Furthermore, it is difficult to establish a skill and
integrate technology in their classroom to
By
knowledge level necessary for educators.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)
developed five standards in evaluating the necessary skills
and knowledge of educators. These five standards are to:
1) Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity; 2)
Design and develop digital age learning experiences and
assessments; 3) Model digital age work and learning; 4)
Promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility;
and 5) Engage in professional growth and leadership (ISTE,
2008).
For the purposes of this study, the ISTE Standard 2: Design
and develop digital age learning experiences and
assessments and ISTE Standard 3: Model digital age work
and learning, were the primary focus. More specifically, two
indicators from standard 2 were examined: a) Design or
adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate
digital tools and resources to promote student learning and
creativity and b) Develop technology-enriched learning
environments that enable all students to pursue their
individual curiosities and become active participants in

Impacts of Technology in Classrooms
In over forty years,researchers have shown the impacts of technology and have been so essential in our day to day lives. Technology affects many areas of a society both positively and negatively. In modern –days, most schools have embraced technology as an aid for teachers and students to enhance their schoolwork. Students get more engaged where technology is involved, thus making them retain more information (Page 2012). However, some argue that technology has brought more harm than good and a few will be discussed in this essay. My stand is dwelling on the advantageous side of technology in empowering every party involved.
Technology is a medium for providing distance learning. In olden days, students could take distance courses at community colleges or universities after which they would receive course documents in the mail. They would then be required to send assignments to their teachers at the educational institution, and this process could be long and complicated. In this era, students can take courses over the internet which is so convenient and still qualify to work in the fields related to those courses (Page 2012). This has made it easier for working students who cannot get access to educational institutions.
However, technology is sometimes misused by learners. In as much as technology has drastically impro ...

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

3. This article focuses on technology use in the
elementary education classroom
Approximately 95% of Kindergarten to 12th grade
classrooms had Internet access in 2005
Knowing the above statement it was interesting to
read that 2/3 of teachers feel underprepared to
use technology
Challenges teachers face in teaching with
technology: lack of resources, personal knowledge
and skills, lack of school planning, and
assessments
Even though 95% of classrooms had Internet
access in 2005, most students did not receive
enough time to develop new skills with technology
to make a difference
4. Another main focus in this article was on a 4th grade classroom who had
laptops
Mr. Wright, their teacher, issued laptops on the first day of school for the students
to use inside and outside of school
Mr. Wright’s class set up a website for others to see the work they completed with
their laptops including podcasts, activities for different seasons, and practice
quizzes
Quote: “What makes today’s kids really sit up and fires their neural fibers?
Technology. Kids don’t see laptops, MP3 Players, cell phones, PDAs, DVD
players, and video games as technology, it’s just their life. Schools need to
connect education to their student’s lives with technology.” Todd Wright (4th
grade teacher)
5. I found it interesting that while 95% of classrooms use the Internet; most
students do not have enough time to develop new skills and 2/3 of
teachers feel underprepared to use technology
I was surprised to read that 4th grade students were issued laptops and
were allowed to take them home as well
The website the class formed was interesting and I love the artwork on
there by the students
I could not believe how much the students knew about the use of laptops
and how much they learned
The quote by Todd Wright was very true and showed me that classroom
teachers have to incorporate technology in their classrooms because that is
what kids have grown up with
6. Quote: “The goal of our study is to explain the use of
technology and stances toward future use of
technology in teaching pre-service teachers (PST) by
examining their access to and professional
development with interactive computer tools.” (James
Laffey)
Some teachers do not use technology in their
classroom because they feel it harms their students
Surveys were sent out to PST’s to ask them about
their experiences with technology in the classroom
7. Surveys showed results for the following categories: descriptive and
comparative statistics about demographic variables, level and subject area
they were preparing to teach, current technology use, and attitudes about
technology and teaching (Laffey 364)
Not only were surveys sent out, but each PST was involved in a 10
question questionnaire to get more information
PDAs were used to communicate with the following people: teachers,
peers, prepare for lessons, and to meet school requirements
8. After reading that many teachers feel
technology can harm their students I
began to wonder where that fear
came from.
If students grow up with technology
at their fingertips, how can that be
harmful?
I would like to know how many PSTs
used technology in their classroom
even if they were not comfortable
with it
I was surprised to see how many
uses there were for PDAs in the
classroom not only for the students,
but also for the teacher to prepare
lessons
9. Mobile wireless technology
includes two areas: mobility and
computing (Sang 55)
Mobility: continuous accessibility
to users
Wireless: communication using
radio waves, infrared waves, and
microwaves instead of wires
Examples of wireless technology
in K-12 classrooms: wireless
phones, PDAs, handheld
computers, and laptops
Quote: “As mobile wireless
communication becomes an
integral part of our society, it will
become an accepted and
necessary part of the curriculum
for students in the public
schools.” (Sang 58)
10. “The National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS-S)
identifies six skills students should master: learning about available
technology and how to use it, using effective communication skills,
researching, learning, processing facts and concepts, and problem solving”
(Sang 58)
“Teachers can also benefit from PDAs: helps in organizing teaching
materials and courses, communicating with students and parents, giving
individual attention to students, managing research materials, and
schedule meeting appointments” (Sang 61)
11. I enjoyed reading that PDAs do not only benefit students, but teachers as
well
This would probably make teachers more likely to use PDAs knowing they will
benefit as well
I did not realize how many benefits were involved with the use of PDAs
The quote was very true and would make teachers think twice before
ignoring the role technology plays in students lives
12. These three articles were very interesting and opened up my eyes to how
technology truly can influence our lives
As future educators it is our responsibility to keep up on technology and
how it can impact our students lives for the better
Technology may not be easy to keep up on, but it will be worth it to give
students new ways to learn that keep them interested
Technology should not be viewed as bad just because it is difficult to learn.
If we use that theory in every area in our life then none of us would finish
college because it is difficult.
All three of these articles had interesting information including benefits for
students and teachers, laptops in the 4th grade, and PSTs thoughts on
technology in the classroom
