Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Teaching and Learning with Technology Theoretical Foundations Chapter 1 Teaching and Learning with Technology

 Allyn and Bacon 2005 Educational Technology Educational technology is any technology that is used to support teaching and learning ISTE’s NETS-T and NETS-S standards articulate what teachers and students should know

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Educational Technology and Instruction Technology are the tools to help create an effective instructional event Instructional events = all teaching methods and learning experiences Learning environment = physical and non- physical aspects where instruction takes place

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 About Learning Variety of theories explain how we learn Each theory offers a different perspective or view as to how learning occurs Some theories may be contradictory Teachers must decide on theory for themselves

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Learning Theories Foundation Building Blocks for Using Technology in Teaching and Learning

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Learning Theories Learning as Communication Knowledge is transferred from sender to receiver Receiver returns feedback to sender Sender receives feedback Variables may alter intended meaning.

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Learning Theories Learning as Communication

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Learning Theories Factors Affection Communication

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Learning Theories Environmental Factors Any factor that may cause a learner to lose focus Can block communications Lighting, movement, temperature may interfere with communications

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Psychological Factors Individual differences that define and impact communicated information Emotional state may interfere with message reception Learning styles may interfere with transmission Learning Theories

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Personal Filters Individual’s values, heritage, and belief system May include attitudes, cultural differences, and opinions Filters are present in both sender and receiver Learning Theories

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Behaviorist’s Perspective All behavior is a response to external stimuli Students learn in response to rewards and punishments Learning is a passive response to the environment Learning Theories

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Cognitivist’s Perspective Focus is on learning as a mental operation Information enters through senses Learning is explained by how one thinks Believe learning is more complex than behaviorist responses Learning Theories

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Constructivist’s Perspective Knowledge is constructed as a result of the learning process Learning occurs when knowledge is assimilated or accommodated (Piaget) Knowledge may be constructed best in a social context Learning Theories

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Cognitive Styles Manner in which one thinks and interprets the environment Myers-Briggs helps determine cognitive preferences Understanding cognitive styles helps teachers create supportive environments Learning Theories

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Learning Theories Myers-Briggs Cognitive Types

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Learning Styles Conditions under which one learns best Relates to individual sensory dominance Auditory learners learn best by listening Visual learners learn best by seeing Kinesthetic/Tactile learners learn best by doing and touching Learning Theories

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 The Learner Intelligence Inherent capabilities to learn and understand Standford-Binet tests emphasize logical/mathematical and verbal capabilities Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences emphasizes multiple capabilities

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Verbal-Linguistic Mathematical- Logical Visual-Spatial Bodily-Kinesthetic Interpersonal Intrapersonal Naturalistic Existential Musical Multiple Intelligences The Learner

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Multiple Intelligences The Learner

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Teaching = a systematic, planned sequence of events –A process that communicates ideas/skills –Takes into account individual and environmental factors –Aware of learning theories & learner characteristics Teaching and Learning

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Technology: a component of the teaching/learning process –Educational technology includes resources that facilitate teaching/learning –This view of technology has evolved – It’s consistent with evolution of learning theories Teaching and Learning

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Teaching and learning work together Holistic planning is the key to effective learning Educational technologies selected after planning completed to enhance instruction Teaching and Learning

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Educational Technology An Historical Overview Began in the early 1900s with movies Slides, radio, sound recordings were added in the 1920s-1930s Television drove audio-visuals in the 1950s

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 An Historical Overview 1960s: A-V expanded to a broader systems view 1970s: educational technology redefined and expanded further to include all technologies 1980s: educational technology entered the Digital Age Educational Technology

Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2005 Today Holistic view – All media and systems that support teaching/learning Teachers must decide how to best utilize technology Educational Technology
