1. Welcome! Please sign in and pick up the handouts
While you are waiting, complete the activity “Name That Technology.”

2. Okay, so you’ve just attended a teacher training session that taught you how to integrate technology in the classroom
Use the following slides to narrate a “fun introduction” to this workshop.

3. You’re really excited about the educational possibilities of all this new technology

4. No more overhead projector

6. Say goodbye to the Dark Ages

7. But there’s a problem

8. 1
You only have one computer in your classroom

9. And the computer lab is booked for the next few years

10. What should you do?

11. Integrating Technology with Limited Resources
Jennifer Weaver
Introduce yourself.

12. Our Workshop Goals
Participants will increase skills in the use and integration of technology in classroom instruction.
Participants will create a plan for maximizing the use of limited technology in their classrooms.
Review workshop goals.

13. bcpsoitpd.pbworks.com
Direct participants to the workshop wiki page. View and discuss the 21st century skills and rubric for integration. Point out that neither of those documents reference specific technologies because high-tech gadgets are not necessary to teach 21st century skills and effectively integrate technology. Effective integration always starts and ends with the content being taught.

14. Name that Technology 1980- Computers 1856- Stereoscope
1911- Film Projector
1841- Globes
1941- Radio
1947- Television
1840- The Chalkboard
1855- Teacher & Blackboard
Review the answers to the warm-up activity. Point out that technology is always changing the way instruction is delivered (and the way people think it should be delivered). Although delivery methods have changed over time, the content being delivered is still the most important factor to be considered.

15. "While platforms shift and new technologies emerge. the message
"While platforms shift and new technologies emerge... the message... essentially remains intact: start with your educational goals and let the technology serve them." (p2) "It severely undervalues and under uses the technology to think of it as an addition to the curriculum rather than as a tool to help you cover the curriculum you're already covering.” (p74)
Use these quotes to further connect the warm-up activity with the workshop goals.

16. What technology do you have access to?
Teacher Computer
Your own projector
TV attached to your computer
Elmo/ document camera
Two or more student computers
One student computer
Flip/ video camera
Digital still camera
Webcam
Ability to sign up for a lab
Response systems (votes/ clickers)
Interactive White Board
Poll participants on which of the listed technologies they have available. This helps you personalize the workshop for the audience. It also serves to expose participants to technologies that they may not be aware of. For example, most schools have a few flip video cameras (check with liaisons, Librarians, and principals) and a webcam (liaison or librarian).

17. Three strategies for integrating limited technology:
Use it to support differentiated instruction for specific groups of learners
Incorporate it as a center or station for individuals or partners
Use it as a teaching station for whole group instruction

18. Group Instruction Strategy
Break class into small homogeneous groups to maximize technology to user ratio
Technology is used by one group with or without teacher guidance based on their needs and learning goals
Other groups have chances throughout the year or within the lesson or unit
Students have an opportunity to learn from peers and engage with others
“Technology is just another instructional tool so don’t be afraid to use it with only small groups of students based on their needs… just as you would leveled textbooks or manipulatives.”

19. Stations/Centers Strategy
Centers that support the lesson objectives include the use of technology as well as other activities and complement what's happening at other stations around the room
Schedules and/or timers keep students moving
Stations should not be used only for reward, drill-and-kill, etc.
Station activities can be rotated within a one day lesson or over a series of lessons
Emphasize outside of the box definitions of “centers:” rotating one or two video or still cameras, interactive boards as centers, teacher computers available for student use, recording features of document cameras/webcams.

20. Teacher Station Strategy
Engage in higher-level thinking activities (instead of a presentation to students, have a presentation that elicits from them)
Allow students to take turns interacting with the teacher station to give them practice with basic computer skills
Allow students to be the teacher
Get the students involved in the creation of content… group writing, dynamic presentations, students choose actions, etc.
Make sure participants think about what the students at the desks are doing. ALL students should be engaged in the thinking and learning.

21. Lets look at some ideas of how to use those three strategies
Have pairs read the Ideas for Limited Tech page of the wiki and discuss three that they particularly like for their content area. Pairs should share their choices.
At your comfort and discretion, do a few short demos of the technologies mentioned in the ideas shared. Also direct participants to bcpslis.pbworks.com as a resource for many of the tools.

22. Lesson Implementation
Choose one of the two lessons posted on the wiki.
With a partner, look at it and decide which of the three strategies would be best to enhance the lesson with technology.

23. What is a self-sustaining environment, in terms of technology use in the classroom?
Ask participants to answer the question.

24. Discuss the best way(s) to:
Schedule computer use for equitable access;
Select appropriate configurations of individuals or groups;
Select the appropriate technology tool;
Pre- and post-assess student skills;
Provide modeling, guided practice, and student directions;
Use management strategies to maximize time-on-task, engagement and success;
Differentiate technology-integrated activities to provide appropriate levels of support in order to foster both achievement and independence achievement and independence
Pairs to discuss… maybe assign a different topic to each pair and then have them report out to the group?

25. Lets look at some management strategies
Pairs look at the ideas management document and pick one item under each number that they feel is the most important suggestion. Then follow up with the stations strategies document.

26. Can one computer be a good thing?
The technology will be used in the classroom: "For the computer to help fulfill your goals, it must live where you live: in the classroom." (p14)

27. F.A.Q.s How do I set up my room?
What’s the best and cheapest technology I can purchase that will impact technology use in my classroom?
Can I use my personal equipment? Can my students?
