The Push for Technology Integration makes … Teachers teach in ways they were never taught… using tools that were not invented when they were in pre-service programs. Tech Integration pushes teachers to be innovative, content driven and process oriented to improve all student’s achievement.

The SPDG PD & Technology Nexis Provide PD to support the new learning for in- place educators to discover the power of technology & Web 2. 0 tools. Integrate technology to captivate, motivate and provide students with disabilities greater classroom inclusion & learning opportunities. Understand the research & resources needed to be effectively integrated to support access to academically rigorous content

Teaching that STICKS 6 traits that make ideas stick: 1.Simple 2.Unexpected 3.Concrete 4.Credible 5.Emotional 6.Story Note: *Sticky ideas are understood, remembered and change something (behavior, values, opinions, etc.) Our job is to make ideas stick everyday!

PD impacting Teacher change Professional development can shorten the learning curve and return on investment. The important thing to consider is that professional development lies along a continuum—from learning discrete skills, to developing fully integrated lessons, to transferring those skills to new technologies

What does integration look like? Students can test scientific theories with simulations, find ways to prove ideas with multimedia,and collect environmental data with hands-on experiments. They can use the Internet to experience the world through virtual field trips and find information to prove almost any point of view. They can exercise their creativity with art, writing, and music software and more. All of these opportunities mean using technology as a tool to promote content learning.

Pieces of Integration Puzzle

Tech Tools Digital Cameras Software Scanners, document cameras, tablet pcs, Smartboards, hand held response system, digital video cameras, ipods What are there functions? Try it before you teach it! Evaluate tools to match your needs and class size. VISUAL TOOLS-remember 70% more
23
Teacher Technology Skills Competency Levels What level of daily technological integration is the teacher utilizing? – Daily Routine: type worksheets, attendance, email, make charts. – Effective User: web portal, discussion boards, advanced functions, specialized software, expert, models AUP, flexibility, use data to manage and solve problems. – Innovative User: full array of software & hardware, strategic use of capabilities, produce, empower, mentor, foster continuous improvement. Who is left out? Resisters Beginners
