+Impact of technology on student achievement
Students learn more in less time
Student attitudes were more positive
Student achievement in technology rich environments was increased
The level of effectiveness is dependent on the software design, the teachers role and level of access
+How can using technology enhance the learning for students? Identify where technology use and learning can take
place
Make the technology available to students relative to their ability
Give instruction on using the technology
Use peer tutoring
Offer a wide range of technology options
Integrate in a meaningful way
+
Create opportunities for interaction outside the classroom
Provide opportunities for students to practice, grow and expand their skills
Encourage enrichment through the use of technology
Support other teachers with the use of technology
Value technology as a learning tool in the classroom
+Web 1.0 to Web 2.0
Web 1.0 was about reading, Web 2.0 is about writing
Web 1.0 was about companies, Web 2.0 is about communities
Web 1.0 was about home pages, Web 2.0 is about blogs
Web 1.0 was about wires, Web 2.0 is about wireless
Web 1.0 was about owning, Web 2.0 is about sharing
Web 1.0 was about dialup, Web 2.0 is about broadband
Web 1.0 was about hardware costs, Web 2.0 is about bandwidth costs
+Four tools that can be used to support Gifted students.
Web Quests
Wikis
Blogs
Cartooning using Comic Life
+
The use of Web Quests is one such tool that can be used for differentiation in the classroom either with a small group or for a student to use as an independent study.
Web Quests contain a list of teacher-screened websites that can be used to do research and complete specific tasks within a defined structure. When using these with gifted students, the tasks should be more complex than with the regular population.
+
There are three different ways that teachers can apply Web Quests:
Use a Web Quest that has already been created and is available on the Internet.
Take a Web Quest that has been created and modify it to meet the needs of your students.
Create your own Web Quest.
+

+Blogs
A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.
Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.
In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write “stuff” on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.
