Analyzing Learning Experiences USD MTLC Technology Integration Matrix Examine classroom practice: teachers & students Intersection of Pedagogy & Technology “Technology alone won’t transform learning experiences” Katie M Overview of the Matrix (Talking Points Below) Background/Context · The Technology Integration Matrix is a research based tool that we use at MTLC to help us examine classroom practice. We developed this tool to look more deeply at the intersection of pedagogy and technology integration. Most tools only focus on the use of technology but research shows that the tool alone won’t change teacher practice. Overview of the Matrix · Our matrix helps us classify the overall experience students and teachers are having in the classroom. · We pay attention to what is the teacher doing, what are the students doing. Who is using the technology and how. · We also use also the 4 Cs to help us think about where on the quadrant to classify that classroom experience- Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication · This is a technology integration matrix, so even if a teacher is using a projector or showing images on a Smartboard (minimal level of technology present) and the students do not have devices, this could still be classified on the matrix.

Scenario 1 It’s math time! Each student has a device and logs on to their account on ST Math. Based on each student’s current level achievement, they progress through the program to practice at their individual level for 30 minutes each day.

Scenario 2 My students are learning about the missions. They looked at Google Slides that I created to learn about the missions. They are researching based on a list of websites and with books to gather facts. As a class, we will all add to the same Google Slide deck to share our learning. Katie W

Group Discussion What do you want students to learn? Who decides? What is the role of technology? What is the role of the teacher?

Effective leadership in education is not about moving everyone from one standardized point to the next but moving individuals from their point A to their point B. George Couros
