CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Philip Boese Brawley High School Gas Laws in Chemistry What I Actually Learned in CTAP295 How to use MS FrontPage to create and edit web pages How to use MS PowerPoint in the classroom How to make good lesson-planning decisions about using technology in my curriculum How to use MS Excel to make spreadsheets and charts

CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Philip Boese Brawley High School Gas Laws in Chemistry Successes in Lesson Implementation High Student Interest in Using Computers and Internet. Enthusiasm for Making Power Point Presentations Some students explored extensions of the assignment not otherwise possible.

CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Philip Boese Brawley High School Gas Laws in Chemistry Lesson Implementation Shortcomings Lesson Implementation Shortcomings Student effort used understanding the computer instead of the lesson. Difficult to arrange computer lab time and we could have used more lab time. Less student understanding of gas property relationships was developed than the teacher had hoped for.

CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Philip Boese Brawley High School Gas Laws in Chemistry Charts of Student Performance

CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Philip Boese Brawley High School Gas Laws in Chemistry Analysis of Student Performance Data Almost all students made gains from pre-test to post-test There is almost a suggestion of a correlation between high pre-test scores and high average for all unit activities Although one gender did better on the pre- test, by the end both genders scored equally high

CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Philip Boese Brawley High School Gas Laws in Chemistry Web Quest Assignment

CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Philip Boese Brawley High School Gas Laws in Chemistry My Gas Laws “Web Quest” Although true Web Quests are elaborate and very time consuming to write, I made a simple and effective one by selecting questions I wanted students to answer and understand, finding links to web pages with the information I wanted students to process and having students follow the links to find the answers.

CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Philip Boese Brawley High School Gas Laws in Chemistry I will now be working as a “Digital Mentor” training other Brawley High School teachers in the skills being developed through our “Digital High School” grant. I am currently working with another CTAP295 teacher training our teachers to use FrontPage to make web pages for the BUHS web site.

CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Philip Boese Brawley High School Gas Laws in Chemistry As my BUHS chemistry students take the Golden State exam, they have the advantage of having explored some chemistry topics on the internet and seen others via power point slide shows.

CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Philip Boese Brawley High School Gas Laws in Chemistry Summary and Observations The Information Technology Revolution is a historically significant advancement in our civilization, similar in importance to the industrial revolution and the development of agriculture. Educational institutions lag behind business and industry in implementing the fruits of this Info-Tech Revolution, but through programs like CTAP 295, progress is being made.
