Intc 2610 overview
This document provides an overview of the history and evolution of instructional technology used in K-12 classrooms from the 19th century to present day. It discusses early technologies like chalkboards, the visual instruction movement using films and slides in the early 20th century, the introduction of radio and television in the 1920s-1950s, and computers starting in the 1950s. The document then covers innovations and uses of these technologies over time, as well as standards for 21st century skills, digital literacy, and the role of technology in education.
Visual & Media Literacy
This document discusses the importance of visual and media literacy skills for 21st century learners. It notes that visuals and videos can reinforce reading materials, aid in developing common knowledge, enhance comprehension and discussion, accommodate diverse learning styles, and increase motivation. Different types of visual tools are presented, including stop motion animation, digital storytelling websites, mobile applications, smartboard integration, and websites. Specific examples are provided. Ways to use visuals and videos are outlined, such as for triggering discussion, demonstrations, practice and review, and depicting scenarios. The document concludes by identifying three groups of learners that can benefit: elementary students, grades 7-12, and adult learners.
Web 2.0 For Teachers
Presentation made by IASA Associate Director Dr. Richard Voltz for teachers. The purpose of this presentation is to motivate teachers to engage students more in their own learning and to inform teachers of the various technology tools that are available to them to use in the classroom.
Visual Literacy And 21st Century Skills
The document discusses the importance of visual literacy and 21st century skills. It defines visual literacy as the ability to interpret and create visual messages. Developing visual literacy skills is important because visual communication is how many people process information. Additionally, 21st century skills like collaboration, digital literacy, and multimedia communication are essential for students to develop in order to be prepared for future careers and civic participation. The document provides examples of how to incorporate visual literacy instruction into the classroom through activities having students navigate, evaluate, and create visual content.
Intc 2610 overview
This document provides an introduction to an instructional technology course for K-12 teachers. It summarizes the evolution of technologies used in classrooms over time, from chalkboards to computers and the internet. It also outlines national and state technology standards for students, including the ISTE NETS standards, which focus on creativity, communication, research, problem solving, digital citizenship, and technology operations. The document emphasizes that standards define the skills students should learn, while curriculum is developed locally to meet those standards.
Educational Priorities for the 21st Century
The current rate of technology advance, coupled with the rapid growth of the Internet, is revolutionizing society and the ways in which we communicate, connect and learn. In order to remain relevant, schools need to revise their educational objectives and prepare students with skills for a life of continual change and re-learning.

Teaching New Literacy in a Digital World
New literacy in a digital environment involves more than just reading and writing and includes skills like internet surfing, emailing, blogging, and editing/posting photos and videos. As technology changes how people access and share information, the roles of both teachers and students must shift - teachers act more as facilitators and collaborators who guide student learning, while students become active producers of knowledge who can take responsibility for their own learning through collaborative projects.
Role of the teacher in cyberworld of students
The role of teachers has changed in the digital age. Teachers must embrace technology to connect with students who are accustomed to learning from various online sources. Teachers should search online for diverse educational resources to share with students and collaborate with them virtually. They also need to create their own digital content while protecting intellectual property rights. To be effective in the 21st century, teachers must have an online presence and guide students in acquiring and evaluating information from the vast resources on the internet.

This document discusses engaging Generation Y students in the language classroom through the use of technology. It begins by noting that simply throwing technology at students does not guarantee effective teaching. It then outlines key learner characteristics of Generation Y, including being tech savvy but lacking information literacy skills, relying on search engines, loving multimedia, multitasking, communicating visually, being open learners who prefer teamwork and collaboration, preferring to type rather than handwrite, creating internet content, and craving instant feedback. Ten "commandments" of teaching Generation Y are provided that match these characteristics, such as using video clips, handling multitasking carefully, using visuals, encouraging interaction and opinion sharing, and giving opportunities for students to create their own

Digital Age Education – Creating Texts
The document discusses how digital technologies are changing how people read, write, and communicate. It asks essential questions about how to define "text" and "digital" in this new context, and implications for how writing is taught. A key point is that the properties and dynamics of the digital landscape, not just the tools, are important to consider to evolve education. Case studies are presented showing how learning networks can facilitate real, networked, and participatory learning through blogs, forums, and other digital platforms and texts. Resources for further reading are also included.
Social Media, Networked Learning & Identity
This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Alec Couros on social media and open education. The presentation discusses how open tools can transform research, teaching and service if academics build online presences. It also covers knowledge and learning, collaboration, openness, digital identities, and examples of educators leveraging networks.

Initial vision
This document proposes ways that information and communication technology (ICT) could be used to enhance teaching and learning at Hurupaki School. It recommends a three-phase approach: 1) Developing the school library as a hub for student access to information; 2) Integrating ICT into classroom programs across subjects; 3) Creating an e-learning classroom environment with multimedia resources. The benefits of ICT cited include facilitating collaborative and inquiry-based learning, providing access to vast information resources, and developing skills like critical thinking. Professional development for teachers is seen as vital to successfully implementing ICT. Low-cost initial steps are also suggested.
Inquiry i chat. helen
This document discusses using iChat in the classroom to facilitate student collaboration and communication with the teacher during guided reading sessions. It provides examples of how iChat allows the teacher to send students reading predictions and receive their responses digitally. While iChat can be distracting if students use it to play games, the teacher finds it useful when properly monitored and after initially allowing students time to learn the interface. Potential issues include students helping each other instead of working independently or communicating off-task. The teacher offers strategies like changing their iChat profile to catch students misusing the tool.
Digital e portfolios

- 3. Who could help me? Donna got me started, she showed me how to create student pages on the wiki and, how to upload pictures and embed videos. Later, I taught this to my class. Wendy showed me two important tools, taking screen shots and managing the navigational tools on the wiki. Again, I taught this to my class.
