Bryona GoldingUniversity of Phoenix Online
Why Students Need NTeQ:
Incorporates technology in instruction Provides practice in authentic use of
technology Increases student engagement Improves higher-order thinking skills Enhances collaborative work skills
NTeQ vs. Traditional Classroom: The Teacher
Both Teacher determines appropriate methods and
techniques for instruction
NTeQ Teacher is technologically competent Teacher acts as designer, manager, and
facilitator
Traditional Teacher’s technological competence is
unnecessary Teacher acts as planner, instructor, and expert
NTeQ vs. Traditional Classroom: The Student
Both Students expected to meet objectives
NTeQ Student actively engages in learning process assumes the role of researcher becomes technologically competent engages in collaborative learning
Traditional Student remains passive recipient of knowledge engages primarily in individual work
NTeQ vs. Traditional Classroom: Technology
Both Use some forms of technology
NTeQ Technology used as a tool to enhance learning
through the use of real-world data to solve problems
Use for instructional delivery is secondary
Traditional Technology used as a delivery method to
supplement or replace teacher Technology use in instruction and learning bears
little relationship to real-word application
NTeQ vs. Traditional Classroom: Lesson Plans
Both focus on instructional objectives incorporate assessments to evaluate learning
NTeQ student-centered problem-based authentic technology is an integral component
Traditional teacher-centered focus on rote memorization of facts
NTeQ vs. Traditional Classroom: The Learning Environment
Both Provide students with resources for learning
NTeQ Incorporates multiple resource-rich activities Provides realistic context for learner Content and method decided by learners
Traditional Relies primarily on textbooks and teachers as
resources Separate learning from context Content and method decided by teacher
Conclusion
NTeQ does not fit every lesson. Effective use requires careful planning. NTeQ does not require a computer for
every student! NTeQ enhances more traditional
approaches to instruction in ways that make it invaluable to students and teachers.
