Integrating CLS into Academics
AiS Challenge2001 Kick-off Conference
Glorieta, NMPaula Avery
Goals
I. To present ideas that may help with the integration of technology into the curriculum. (Multi-disciplinary CLS)
II. To present two examples of technology integration.
III. To provide resources for technology integration.
I. Why …Technology Integration?
Knowing content is NOT enough. Students must use knowledge to:
construct new understandings; solve problems and make decisions;manage information; and,become life-long learners.
Technology can help facilitate this type of learning.
NETS Standards Categories
1. Basic operations and concepts.2. Social, ethical, and human issues.3. Technology productivity tools.4. Technology communications tools.5. Technology research tools.6. Technology problem-solving and decision-
making tools.
What is Technology Integration?
Using technology to improve and enhance the educational process in a unique way.
Type of Technology Integration
Problem-solving/Decision Making Simulations Web-based projects
Virtual WorldsCurrent ResearchCommunication
Mentors Experts Collaborative projects
Productivity
Types of Technology Integration
Web page production Research starting point Student publication Project sharing Examples Class resources Parent/Community involvement
How…Technology Integration?
1. Determine an appropriate unit or concept.
2. Inventory your technology resources.
3. Develop your integration activities.
4. Publish your work.
1. Determine an Appropriate Unit or Concept
What constitutes a good unit or concept for technology integration?
Fulfills existing curricular objectives.
Expands student learning .
1. Determine an Appropriate Unit Or Concept – cont.
“Do-able” given existing time and resources.
Not all areas will be technology-enriched. Don’t force the fit.
Activities make use of multiple technologies and applications.
2. Inventory Your Technology Resources
What is available? What do you need to use these resources?
In-school supportTraining, documentationTime to experiment and learnPhysical access
3. Develop Your Integrated Activities
Examine your Curriculum. Where could technology improve student learning? Where do technology resources and ideas exist to
support learning objectives?
Rewrite the lesson/unit. Revise your goals to reflect changes due to
technology infusion.
3. Develop Integrated Activities – cont.
Select and apply technology tools for research, information analysis, problem-solving, and decision-making.
Investigate and apply expert systems and simulations in real-world situations.
3. Develop Integrated Use of Technology –cont.
Unique use of technology by students:Requires alternative instructional strategies.Allows students to become co-learners with
teachers.Necessitates changes in classroom
management style.
4. Publish
Publish your unit/lesson
SHARE!
II. 5 E Curriculum Model
1. Engage – Pose the problem2. Explore the principles and concepts 3. Explain4. Extend5. Evaluate
Example - Geometry
Objective – The student will be able to recognize, explain, and apply the use of alternate interior angles and the Pythagorean theorem.
Activity – Using Shadows to Predict Time.
Connection Web – Example 1

Summary
Important question to ask yourself:
What value does the use of technology add to
my lesson/unit?
If you can’t answer the question, then you
need to rethink the use.
