Learning Objectives
1.1 Summarize the changing diversity of American
education and the roles of technology in the lives of
students and families
1.2 Discuss ways teachers utilize digital technologies in
their work as educators
1.3 Analyze how 21st century technologies can be used to
create highly interactive, inquiry-based learning
environments
1.4 Identify why technology-used educators should organize
a professional learning network (PLN).

Guiding Questions
• What are the characteristics of today’s rapidly changing,
increasingly diverse schools?
• What technologies are integral to your work as a 21st
century teacher?
• How might the ISTE Standards for Students and
Educators, technological pedagogical content knowledge
(TPACK), and 21st century skills shape your teaching
practice?
• How can you begin developing a professional learning
network (PLN) as a teacher?

Teaching and Students Today
Effective teachers know how to use technology to:
• Differentiate instruction for diverse learning experiences
• Energize learning with interactive tools
• Create collaborative learning situations
• Enable access to academic information from multiple
sources
• Visit places and observe processes that may not be seen
otherwise

A Rapidly Changing and Diversifying
Society (1 of 2)
We have a rapidly changing and diversifying society in which:
• The K-12 student population is more culturally and
linguistically diverse
• Multiple achievement gaps persist among students in
schools
• Connectivity gaps remain a pervasive issue
– Connectivity gaps - digital inequality are technologically
“underconnected”

A Rapidly Changing and Diversifying
Society (2 of 2)
• Schools have digital inequalities in how technology is
used
• The changing role of the teacher from expert at the front
to facilitator of learning
• Schools may offer multiple learning formats and
combinations of formats
• The nature of the workplace is more on mental rather
than physical labor

Educational Technologies
Non-digital and digital technologies have continually
transformed American education.
Examples of Educational Technologies
Non-Digital Technologies Digital Technologies
Textbooks
Chalkboard/Whiteboard
Paper
Pencils
Educational Films
Handheld Calculator
Digital Camera
Computer
iPad/tablet
Smart Phone
Digital Textbooks
Augmented Reality

Computer Technologies
Computer Related Vocabulary:
• Computer: An information processing machine that
manipulates data put in by human programmers
• Hardware: The basic machinery and circuitry of the
computer
• Software: A collection of codes that tells the hardware to
perform specific functions.
– System software: Operating system, network,
database managers, and teleprocessing monitor
– Application software: Word processing, presentation
design, music playing, internet browsing, etc.

Highly Interactive, Inquiry-Based Teaching
and Learning with Technology
What is a highly interactive, inquiry-based teaching
and learning with technology classroom?
• Highly Interactive: Educational activities where
students and teachers are actively involved in learning
• Inquiry-Based: Lessons and assessments lead
students to think critically and creatively

Updating Bloom’s Taxonomy with
Technology (1 of 2)
Bloom’s Taxonomy
• Remembering: Recall and recognition
• Understanding: Deriving meaning from information
• Applying: Using information in new situations
• Analyzing: Examining a situation or problem to find a
solution
• Evaluating: Making assessment based on set criteria
• Creating: Making something new based on what is being
learned

Updating Bloom’s Taxonomy with
Technology (2 of 2)
Technologies promoting higher order thinking are
divided into the following levels:
• Highly Transformative: Resource is open-ended and
allows critical thinking, problem solving, and explorations
(Evaluating & Creating)
• Moderately Transformative: Resource is guided and
pre-set and manages how users engage with the material
(Applying & Analyzing)
• Minimally Transformative: Resource is drill and practice
with little variety for users (Remembering &
Understanding)

21st Century Skills
21st Century Skills
Knowledge and skills students will need:
• Think critically
• Make informed judgements
• Solve complex problems
• Think creatively
• Communicate and collaborate
with others
• Use information innovatively
• Take responsibility

Technological Pedagogical Content
Knowledge (TPACK)
• Content Knowledge: Academic subject matter
• Pedagogical Knowledge: What teachers know about
teaching and how students think and learn
• Technological Knowledge: Knowing how to use multiple
types of technologies in teaching

ISTE Standards for Students and
Educators
Students Educators
• Empowered Learner
• Digital Citizen
• Knowledge Constructor
• Innovative Designer
• Computational Thinker
• Creative Communicator
• Global Collaborator
• Learner
• Leader
• Citizen
• Collaborator
• Designer
• Facilitator
• Analyst

Building a Professional Learning
Network (PLN)
PLN: A system of people, spaces, and tools that supports
and expands your abilities as a teaching professional.
• Lifelong learning gives teaching vitality and creativity
• Commitment to innovative, future-focused teaching
• Demonstrates to future administrators that you possess
knowledge, skills, preparation, and forward thinking

“Must Know About” Technologies (1 of 2)
Five Types of Necessary Educational Technology
• Physical Devices: Computers, Smart Phones, Tablets
• Online References: The Internet, web-based maps,
Infographics
• Software and Apps: Word processing, spreadsheets,
presentation tools
• Online Tools: Blogs, wikis, multiplayer games
• Social Media Tools: Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook

“Must Know About” Technologies (2 of 2)
Levels of Technologies
• Level 1 (Old-School Tools): Familiar and highly used
classroom technologies
• Level 2 (Current Devices): Somewhat familiar
technologies that may require time for effective use
• Level 3 (Emerging Technologies): Unfamiliar
technologies that will take time to learn and use

Using a PLN to Achieve 3 Essential
Teacher Goals
• Multimedia Resume: Evolving portrait of your ideas
and talents as a teacher
• Space for Learning and Teaching Resources:
Showcases teaching skills and interactive technology
knowledge and use
• Model use of Technology for Students: Models
using technology independently, creatively, and
appropriately for learning
