Our Vision Students will use technology seamlessly as a regular part of their education Each student will come to class with their own computing device All of the computing devices will be interconnected Teachers and Students will have the skills necessary to appropriately use the Hardware and Software

9. How we work

10. Pedagogical Foundations Curriculum must drive the need for technology integration Technology is simply the tool used to facilitate student-centered learning Technology makes it easier to accomplish Taxonomy of Technology Use 1 Experiencing Informing Reinforcing Integrating Utilizing 1 Thomas and Boysen, Iowa State University, 1984

11. National Educational Technology Standards for Students

12. National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers

13. Knowing Content is NOT Enough Students must be able to Construct new understandings Solve problems Make decisions Communicate and express themselves Understand complex issues Work collaboratively Set goals and work to a timeline Make ethical choices

14. A Taxonomy for Integrating Technology into Teaching & Learning

16. One Software - Many Categories PowerPoint Observing - Teacher lectures Incorporating - Taking notes on teacher lectures Producing - Students make their own Exploring - Create a hyperlink book Collaborating - Slideshare Applying - Make slide to embed in videos Creating - Students choose to use it

17. Our Taxonomy Observing Students are passive spectators of the technology Incorporating Students are leveraging technology to increase productivity Producing Students create a product with a single technology Exploring Students engage in discovery learning prior to formal instruction. Collaborating Students interact with peers, instructors, and outside resources Applying Students are guided to combine and integrate technologies Creating Students are making sound choices about the appropriate synthesis of content and technology into a final product
