Description of the Trend

According to American Federation of Teachers (2011) ModernTechnology and the Internet have opened the door to a plethora of newlearning opportunities that can enrich students classroom experience(para 1).

Children have important tasks to accomplish during their early years to

build a solid base for future learning. (Northwest EducationalTechnology Consortium, 2005).

Technology is a trend that can provide that foundation when plannedand used properly. Teachers can use technology to aid in the learningprocess as long as it will fit students developmental and learning styles,provide meaningful learning activities, and keep students engaged. In

today's advanced technological world, teachers can help studentsachieve high levels of performance and preparation for the future.

Technology Trends

The use of Technologycontinues to rise with earlychild hood programs

Touch Screen Technology likeI-pads make it easier forstudents to use technology atearlier ages in school.

A study in 2009 showedcomputers in 97% ofclassrooms with 93% havinginternet access. (Teachers Useof Educational Technology inU.S Public Schools: 2009)


5/20

Technology Era Timelines

Pre-computer and Mainframe

Traditional classroom technologies - slates, chalk, paper, pen & books

Introduction of radio and later instructional television

embraced because of the shortage of teachers

began hiring fewer and less qualified teachers

Mainframe computer applications

IBM teaching machine for drill and practice used mostly atuniversity level

1900 1940 1950


6/20


Microcomputer

Computer provided mechanical implementation of instruction.Examples include CLASS, SOCRATES, PLATO & TICCIT.Availability was there but use was limited

Apple became a leader in education in K-12. Until now most usagewas at the university level. IBM also jumps in. Still drill andpractice and eye-catching tutorials that took individual differencesinto account

Serious attempts to increase computer use to help disabledstudents participate

Intelligent Tutoring Systems or Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)

1970 1980 1985 1990


7/20


Internet

Room with internet access in a school went from 4% in 1994 to 94%in 2005

State priorities change focus from teaching and learning toassessment (NCLB)

Wireless - more handheld devices

Clicker - preliminary studies show no increases except in self-perceived learning (Martyn, 2007)

Collaborative digital tools (CSILE, Wikis, Podcasting, etc) & datamanagement and course management systems

1990 Now2000


8/20

History Summary

Technology use in the classrooms has always been supportive andmight not be used to its full potential because of a lack of training ofteachers. This has been the case for all technology use

There have been a lot of developments but not much in terms of formal

implementation Evolution of uses of computer technology - tool (drill and practice) to

tutor (vivid descriptions) to tutee (adjust level and providesdifferentiation). Has moved from the transmitter of knowledge tohelper in the construction of knowledge

Positive Effects ofTechnology in Schools The U.S. Department of

Educations Office for

Civil Rights recognizestechnology as a benefitand a right to allstudents.

Disabled students areentitled toaccommodations ormodifications thatpermit them to receiveall the educational

benefits provided bythe technology in anequally effective andequally integratedmanner(http:www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/colleague-20100629.html).


10/20

Positive Effects of Technology in Schools

In class time is more productive.- Technology assesses and documents students progress efficiently.The teacher will receive reports on areas each child may need additionalwork in.

-Programs can repeat activities in varying approaches so studentshaving difficulty will have different opportunities to master skills.

- Teachers are more informed about abilities and weaknesses whenworking one-on-one with students.

-Children can work in groups or alone.

-Self-directed work is productive. Programs give hints or exampleswhen students do not get answers correct. Pictures and sounds retains

the students attention.

Resources such as dictionaries and thesauri are available andeasily accessed by students.-Students are reported to use outside resources significantly more whenusing technology.


11/20

Positive Effects of Technology in Schools

E-Books support literacy comprehension.

- Reading challenged students who do not respond to teacher intervention haveresponded favorably to E-Books.

Word processors are found to impact quality, quantity, and

frequency of revisions in student writing.

Students are actively engaged in technological learning vs.passive learning of traditional methods.

Student motivation and confidence is improved.

Technological skills are learned simultaneously while learningclass subjects.

Negative Effects of Technology in

Schools and Children


13/20

Technology Is Always Changing

We are already seeing that the trend to have desktopcomputers in classrooms is going away and we are nowseeing more laptops and Touch Screen Devices.

The use of traditional White Boards is going away andis being substituted with devices like the Smart Board.

The old school projectors are being phased out with theuse of devices like the ELMO.


14/20

Technologys Future Impact

The use of touch screen technology in classrooms is likely to increase.Schools are already purchasing I-Pads for their students.

Technology will continue to blossom giving children more exposure toit.

The verdict is still out as to how much technology really improves testscores but with the development of newer technologies and interactivesoftware we are likely to see more of it.


15/20

Technology and Our Future Teachers

The use of technology and computer literacy are key parts of whatmakes a good education.

Teachers will need to continue to develop their technology skills andlook for ways to make technology interactive and not just a tool to

lecture. Creative use of Smart boards, Touch Screen technologies and

interactive software.

Even with the potential increase of technology in classrooms teacherswill be needed for group activities and as leaders.


16/20

As technology continues to evolve the one thing we can count on is that weare going to see more of it in the classroom and it will continue to have a

greater and greater impact on the way we teach!

The Future
