teaching + technology= enhancing learning

Why and what we do research on teaching with technology

Main Ideas

High expectation and take an action :

teacher training

technology leadership

1:1 laptop program

Impact of technology using in classrooms: positive changes and problems

Technology as a solution for what?

Warm-up:

Do you learn with your

computer?

What do you expect from using computer?

We educators really hope students learn with computers:

search for learning resources

do online courses

do research

create and contribute

think critically

communicate and collaborate

sort and recreate

explain, elaborate, show…

ISTE's NETS for Students (2007) Demonstrate creativity and innovation

Communicate and collaborate

Conduct research and use information

Think critically, solve problems, and make decisions

Use technology effectively and productively

What we must do in schools:

http://subversiveinfluence.com/2008/11/a-pathetic-prophetic-response-to-obama-victory/

Change for what :

Students’ Learning

active learning replaces passive

learning

high order thinking replaces

superficial thinking

project-based learning replaces

recalling

rich resources replaces limited

resources

big society replaces small classrooms

students self-directed learning

replaces teacher-directed learning

Change what? Teachers are prepared

well for teaching in the new learning

environment

No.1

Change what?

Learning objectives and

curriculum

No.2

Change what? Technology leadership

for the direction & support

No.3

Change what?

Learning resources

available at hands

No.4

Change what?

School internal learning

environments

No.5

Change what?

School

Society

No.6

Schools as a part of the

whole learning society

We do have some positive changes: Schools do get a great deal of technology equipment

Policies support schools to use technology in classrooms

Rich teaching and learning resources

Useful learning tools help students thinking, learning, communicating, collaborating,creating…

Teachers gradually choose to use technology to support their teaching

We do have some problems to solve:

PPT are widely used, but sometimes used inappropriately

Isolated learning replaces individualized learning

Superficial learning

Digital divide

Teachers get into trouble when there are unexpected technology problems

Low efficiency when technology is not used properly

We have to do more on:

Enhancing learning

by using Technology

in schools

We have to clarify:

Teaching with technology

Teaching + Technology

or

Two classroom stories: Learning + technology (Teacher Wang _ Language Arts)

Data collecting Beautiful ppt of sea Discussions on how to

protect sea from pollution

The Sea

Not any instruction on data collecting

Multimedia is too attractive Discussion in Chinese

Project-based learning

We share the same ideas:

Whether computers are used well depends the pedagogical knowledge and skills of teachers

who design their use in the classrooms.

----p4, Eileen M. Coppola

Coppola, E. M. (2004). Powering Up: Learning to Teach Well with Technology.

New York: Teachers College Press

We have to find out:

Technology as a solution for what?

We have to consider: What can teachers and students

do with computers in their classrooms to enhance learning?

And how?

What problems they are facing in making learning be more effective by using technology?

And why?

If we hope teachers do better by using technology than what they did before, what we’d better do to support them?

Teachers need support for:

How to use technology (knowledge and skills on computer hardware and software _ initial needs)

How to integrate technology into classrooms( instructional design, resources, strategies of implementation, assessment… )

Schools & Families

1:1laptop program in K-12 schools 1. Problems put forward by teachers Hardware and unsteady

internet access Problems in teaching How to redesign the curriculum to best taking advantages of laptops to motivate students to use laptop for learning. Lack learning resources, especially those for students to do hands on work. Lack timely advice on technology and instruction design from experts.

1:1laptop program in K-12 schools 2. Problems put forward

by researchers No overall planning and

design for 1:1 learning environment

Teachers’ professional development level is still one of the major obstacles that make the learning to be more efficient.

Not enough resources to support 1:1 learning

1:1laptop program in K-12 schools

Lack understanding of students’ learning features in digital learning environment

Classroom management in 1:1 learning environment still needs to be improved

Lack understanding of the mechanism of how to make traditional teaching transfer to teaching and learning in a web 2.0 world

1:1laptop program in K-12 schools

Laptops are using in an integrated and effective way to enhance students learning and

become students learning companions that support them

learning anywhere, anytime.
