Three Goals for Today

• Big picture stuff

• Lots of group sharing

• Chance to engage in project-based learning

Main Ideas

• The ultimate goal is to get technology in the hands of students, but for now, you’ll be working with teachers.

• Technology can support learning in all kinds of classrooms. The WIDE View

• Teachers need help to negotiate the demands of integrating technology and that’s your job!

Off the Top of My Head

• Have a job aide available for every piece of hardware.

• Hold “certification” classes for using hardware.

• Hold “just in time” and “make and take” workshops.

• Use students for development and troubleshooting work.

Technology and the Curriculum

• Learning from (technology provides curriculum: drill & practice, integrated learning systems, textbook enhancements)

• Learning about (technology as curriculum: “computer” lab or class, programming, skills taught in context)

• Learning with (technology supports curriculum: may include some version of the other two)

What do your teachers need in order to integrate technology effectively?

Technical Support

Integration is…• It’s about reflecting on our practice.• It’s about solutions to problems.• It’s about meeting needs.

Two Stories About Blogs:Reflecting on my own practice:

The Secret Life of BeesReality: Chris B’s Blog; Chris B’s Source,

The rest of Chris’s class! EEK!!It’s also about objectives, appropriate activities and

aligned assessment.

Ideas About Integration• Doing the same thing we’ve always done…

but better…transparent technologies– Communicate

– Acess Information/Research

– Practice

– Present

– Assess/Reflect

What is the student doing?

Where are they doing it?

How are they using technology?

If you’ve done it, how did it go? Ideas for differentiation, different grades, etc.

ACOT Stages: the long version

Entry Teacher is learning the basics of a technology, e.g., how to set up equipment and operate it.

Adoption Teacher begins to use the technology in management areas, e.g., computer generated quizzes or worksheets, gradebooks.

Adaptation Teacher begins to use software to support instruction, e.g., a commercially produced content area program or productivity tools (word processor, data base)

Appropriation Teacher begins to focus on collaborative, project-based technology use and technology becomes one of several instructional tools.

Invention Teacher begins to develop different uses for technology, e.g., creates projects that combine two or more technologies.
