3. Why Technology? Applied effectively, technology implementation not only increases student learning, understanding, and achievement but also augments MOTIVATION to learn, encourages collaborative learning, and supports the development of critical thinking and problem solving skills (Schacter & Fagnano, 1999)

4. Further Research Technology allows teachers to differentiate instruction more efficiently by providing a wider variety of avenues for learning that reach students of divergent readiness levels, interests, and learning styles (Mize & Gibbons, 2000; Waxman, Connell, & Gray, 2002).

5. 7 Categories Of Technology

6. Word Processing Software Software that enables the user to type and manipulate text

7. Spreadsheet Software Software that enables the user to type and manipulate numbers

8. Theme Solution Events Problem Characters Setting Organizing and Brainstorming Software Software that enables the user to create idea maps, KWL charts, and category maps

9. Multimedia Software that enables the user to create or access visual images, text, and sound in one product

10. Data Collection Hardware and Software that enables the user to gather data

11. Web Resources Resources available on the Web that enable the user to gather information to apply or practice a concept

12. Communication Software Software that enables the user to communicate via text, presentation, voice, or a combination of the three

13. Technology Tools that can be used as resources in your planning process In addition to using textbooks, paper, and pencil, you can integrate technology to achieve your instructional goals http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/standards/new-standards/#it What we want you to take from this presentation :

14. What Will Students Learn? Setting Objectives Word Processing Applications Microsoft Word for creating KWL Charts & Graphs Data Collection Tools Google Forms/Survey Monkey/Zoomerang for Creating Surveys & Pre- Assessments Communication Software Blogs (i.e. Google, Edublogs) to set student objectives Email (i.e. Gaggle) allows students/parents to communicate learning objectives Web Resources Rubistar to create Rubrics, set/show student objectives (http://rubistar.4teachers.org )http://rubistar.4teachers.org

15. Which Strategies Will Provide Evidence of Student Learning? Providing Feedback Providing Recognition Word Processing Applications Microsoft Word to track changes, enter comments Data Collection Tools Classroom Response Systems (Activotes, SMART Responders, CPS) for quizzes, immediate feedback/recognition Communication Software Blogs, Wikis, Email, Instant Messaging – (Gaggle, EduBlog, PBWiki) to post outstanding work Multimedia Certificates/Awards for immediate recognition (PowerPoint, Publisher)

16. Which Strategies will help students acquire and integrate learning? Word Processing Applications Expository Organizers like brochures and programs, Narrative Organizers like stories and articles, Graphic Organizers, and Note Taking Templates (MS Word, Publisher) Spreadsheet Applications Create Rubrics using Excel Fill out effort and achievement templates for self evaluation – use charts to show effort (Excel, Google Docs) Create Charts and Graphs for data (Excel)

17. Communication Software Email, Chatrooms, Discussion Boards, (Gaggle) Group Collaboration (Wilkis like PBWiki) Data Collection Tools Self evaluation, peer evaluation (Google Docs, Survey Monkey, Zoomerang, Classroom Response Systems) Document Camera to take photos of notes and collect data …acquire and integrate learning? (cont)

18. Multimedia Group created activities/Webquests (MovieMaker, PhotoStory, PowerPoint) Summarize notes, learn about a particular subject, organize time (PowerPoint, Glogster) Presentation Software to show time-lapse point of view (PowerPoint, MovieMaker, PhotoStory, Glogster) Web Resources Combine and summarize notes (Google Docs, PBWiki) Take information from web, organize resources, creating citations (Notester, LiveBinder, BibMe) Create Checklists for group projects (PBL Notes or Rubistar) …acquire and integrate learning? (cont)

19. Which strategies will help students practice, review & apply learning? Word Processing Applications – Creating Graphic Organizers to compare & classify terms, publisher to use photos/words to show analogies. -Create hyperlinks to perform research. Spreadsheet Software – Use Excel to create classification tables, or to enter data and create charts/graphs to show and compare data, practice graphing, etc. Data Collection Tools – Use Google Docs or Survey Monkey/Zoomerang to collect data from observations, interviews, etc. This allows students to gather data in one central location.

20. Multimedia – Use Mimio/ActivInspire/SMART Notebook to play games to compare, classify or organize data. -Gaming sites can enhance knowledge of previously learned skills (BrainPop, BBC Skillwise, National Library of Virtual Manipulatives, etc.) --Use Powerpoint to create games/practice on previously learned topics. Communication Software – use Chat rooms, discussion/message boards (Gaggle) for HW Help/test review. Web Resources – Use online simulations (FrogGuts, SmogCity, Darwin Pond, etc.) to form hypotheses and practice theories. …practice, review & apply learning? (cont)
