Areas Covered
• What does research suggest regarding the effects of technology on student learning?
• What are the 3 biggest challenges schools face in integrating technology?
• Clouds-based Solutions
…to prepare our Students for their Future World?
Consider the question.., What is one of the most important “Skill Sets” teachers need to teach..,
Students Need:
• Language
• Critical Thinking
• Math
• Science
• History
collaborate to solve complex problems in an online, networked, global environment
.
They must also learn to communicate, create, analyze and
Research reveals.., “Students learn more in less time when they
receive technology-based instruction”
“Students like their classes more and develop more positive attitudes toward learning when instruction includes technology”
“Students’ attitudes toward learning and their own self-concept improved consistently when computers were used for education”

There are 3 challenges schools face in trying to integrate technology
Based in part on.., • panelists at the ITSE Conference held in Dallas in June 2010• report from the World Innovation Conference held in Dec 2010
#1 CURRICULUM: Schools do not provide teachers with an
Integrated Curriculum to follow
“less than 40% of schools surveyed have a written technology curriculum”
Source: National Survey conducted by I.E.C.
#2 TRAINING: Schools do not provide teachers adequate or effective training
“only 50% of teachers nationwide consistently use technology with students to teach their curriculum”
Source: National Survey conducted by I.E.C.
#3 ACCOUNTABILITY: Teachers are encouraged but not typically held accountable for using technology.
“.., desktop computers and other hardware are used less than 50% of the time they are available for use”
Source: National Survey conducted by I.E.C.
A 21st Century Curriculum that is built on “clouds-based” applications
higher levels of thinking, creativity and collaboration
#3 ACCOUNTABILITY: Teachers need to be held accountable for
using technology as a teaching tool in both the classroom and computer lab.
Typical Solution – hire a “computer teacher”
• Curriculum Integration?
• Teacher Training?
• Accountability for Classroom Teachers?
• Long Term, Comprehensive Solution?
Consider a better solution..,

level and pace• Onsite Training:
– Computer Lab Research Projects – Classroom Activities using Projection– Educational Uses of Wikispaces
• Online Training:– Weekly training guides, some with You tube videos– Plans & Procedures pages in Project Guides– You Tube instructional videos
• Unlimited Support: – Unlimited support in the use of our curriculum via email 24-7– Unlimited support via phone and text messages
#3 ACCOUNTABILITY: We will provide a technology integration “coach” to provide
• support in the use of the Online Resource Center
• as needed training via email, phone or onsite
• Accountability!“coaching increases the
effectiveness of training by 400%”Source: Chet Holmes, “Training Mastery Program”
Solution #4: We will teach you to perform simple tasks ‘in house’
Or perform these tasks for your school in an efficient, cost effective manner

Step #1 Meeting with classroom teachers
• Computer needs assessment
• Vision with goals and objectives for utilization of technology in classroom and computer lab
• Discuss any concerns or potential problems
* Teachers are more likely to embrace a program that they help design
