Ask yourself these before integrating technology:

How will you go beyond the textbook?

How will you select the “right” technology and media

when so many choices are available?

How will you create learning experiences that affectively

use these tools and resources to ensure that your students

gain new knowledge and skills?

GOAL

Learn about the uses of technology and media

to ensure appropriate student learning in the

21st century.

Foundational to 21st century knowledge and skills is the

preparation of students to meaningfully and purposefully use

technology and media for creativity and innovation,

communication, research, and problem solving

Technology

Instructional technology involves the integration of

teacher and student use and knowledge of tools and

techniques to improve student learning.

The ASSURE model is a six step process that guides

teachers through creating lessons that achieve the goals of

using technology effectively.

Technology (Cont.)

Current technology offers several benefits for teachers The ability to digitally store and access large amounts of information such as

text, audio, visual, games, movies, in computer files or on CDs or DVDs

Its adaptability to meet varying needs of students. Teachers can differentiate

instruction and access to learning tools with a variety of technology tools.

Students are no longer limited to the confines of the classroom

Media

Media are means of communication.

The general purpose of media is to facilitate

communication and learning.

There are six basic types of media used in learning: text,

audio, visual, video, manipulatives, and people.

Media (Cont.)

Media format is the physical forms in which messages

are incorporated and displayed. (Ex. White Boards,

PowerPoint Slides, CDs, DVDs, Computer Multimedia)

Instructional materials are the specific items used within

a lesson that influence student learning.

Media (Cont.)

The design and use of instructional material are critical

because it is the interaction of students with those

materials that generates and reinforces actual learning.

Teacher Use of Technology and Media

When teaching is teacher centered, the

use of technology and media are used to

support the presentation of instruction.

Digital tools expand and enhance teacher

capabilities to fulfill the numerous roles

and responsibilities associated with being

an educator; these tools better enable the

“digital teacher”

The digital teachers instruction includes

presentations that are media rich and

interactive.

Personal Response System (PRS) are

handheld digital devices used to collect

and graphically display student answers

to teacher questions .

Mobile assessment tools is the

advancement of mobile computing that

enables teachers to record student

assessment data.

NETS for teachers is the National

Educational Technology Standards for

Teachers

Teacher Use of Technology and Media

(Cont.)

Teacher Use of Technology and Media

(Cont.)

Provides five basic guidelines for

becoming what we call a “Digital

Teacher”

NETS-T describes classroom practices,

lesson development, and professional

expectations.

Students Use of Technology and Media

When instruction is student centered, the

primary user of technology and media are

the students themselves.

Digital students learn in classrooms

where technology is a seamless

component of learning that expands the

educational environment beyond the

classroom walls.
