LEARNING TARGETS:
• I can identify reasons to incorporate technology into my classroom.
• I can create a list of technologies that will be useful to my students.
• I can collaborate and organize my individually chosen technologies into “Purpose Categories”.
• I can develop a “Game Plan” for implementation within my classroom.
Why incorporate technology into my
classroom?
“We, as teachers, are preparing students for careers that don’t exist and haven’t even been thought of yet.”
-Karl Fisch
As a result, students need to become;
1. intelligent problem solvers
2. responsible, socially aware citizens who are prepared to live and succeed in the world.
ANY GIVENPROBLEM
It’s their future . . . if we aren’t teaching it, we aren’t truly preparing our students.
How is it really helping?“I’m using PowerPoint, isn’t that enough?”• Teacher Driven Technology
– Benefits: passive learners, quieter, easier to maintain control, guide instruction towards teacher chosen goals
– Negatives: passive learners, usually lacks intrinsic motivation
• Student Driven Technology– Benefits: built-in motivation,
collaboration, teaching by “pull” not “push”, problem solving, access at home
– Negatives: noisier, requires more teacher prep
Explaining Web 1.0 / 2.0 / 3.0(Descriptions paraphrased from Wikipedia)
• Web 1.0– First stage of the World Wide Web– Links WebPages with hyperlinks– One-way flow of information– Static pages
• Web 2.0– Second stage of the World Wide Web– Participatory information sharing– Allows for Collaboration– Ex. Social networking, blogs, wikis, YouTube
• Web 3.0– The “Sematic Web”: Content generated by
computers not by humans– Future of the World Wide Web– Virtual blending of online and offline worlds– Increases in computer intelligence – Remembering personal “likes” and “dislikes”

What’s My Plan?On the back of your paper, identify 3 goals to begin integrating more technology with your students.
Remember- Think SMALL! We are each more likely to attempt a goal if it is reasonable. We all have busy lives, be realistic.
