For Our Purposes …

Technology in Education: Seamless use of technology tools into a purposeful, participatory instructional or learning environment Good Example:  Using the Internet to research projects Bad Example:  Letting students play educational games if they finish their work early

Why Use Technology?

 Influence student academic performance  Develop higher order thinking and problem solving  Improve student motivation, attitude, and interest in learning  Help to prepare students for the workforce  Address the needs of low performing, at-risk, and learning disabled students Center for Applied Research in Educational Technology (CARET) http://caret.iste.edu

Motivation

• Gains learner attention – Visual and interactive features • Engages the student through production work – Promotes creativity, self-expression and esteem • Increased perception of control – Students may be more motivated by feeling they are in control of their learning/special implications for at risk students (intrinsic motivation)

Unique instructional capabilities

• Linking students to information and education sources outside of the classroom – Promotes multi-cultural awareness – Improves communication and research skills • Helping students visualize problems and solutions

Support for new instructional approaches

• Cooperative Learning – Groups are more productive in complex problem solving activities/tech.-based activities • Shared Intelligence • Problem solving and higher order skills

Increased teacher productivity

• Help teachers cope with their ever-expanding paperwork load resulting in higher productivity – Resources • Word processing • Spreadsheet • Database • Desktop publishing • Test generating software • E-mail and websites • Online research

Skills for the Information Age

• Technology Literacy • Information Literacy • Visual Literacy • All necessary for making decisions in everyday life, seeking employment.

Supports framework for Universal Design for Learning

• To represent information in multiple formats and media. • To provide multiple pathways for students’ action and expression. • To provide multiple ways to engage students’ interest and motivation.

What History of Educational Technology Has Taught Us

1.

Technology is not a panacea.

2.

Literacy offers limited rationale.

3.

Teachers are not developers.

When Does Technology Work?

   Directly supports the curriculum objectives.

Provides opportunities for student collaboration.

Adjusts for student ability and prior experiences, and provides feedback.

  Is integrated into the instructional day.

Provides opportunities for students to design and implement projects.

 Is used in environments where teachers, the school community, and the district support the use of technology.
