Teaching in the Twenty First Century
Focus is on mastery of subject specific standards set nationally / statewide / locally as measured by standardized tests.
ISTE NETS provide a framework for educators to use when teaching skills needed for the Digital Age.
Two pedagogical approaches for class activities:• teacher-centered – popular in Industrial Age• student-centered – more appropriate for Digital Age
(Newmann, Bryk, & Nagaoka, 2001)
Teacher-Centered Learning
Focus on fact memorization and ability to recall information on standardized tests
Teacher decides information to present via lecture, textbook material, or directed reading assignments.
Little student collaboration / input into activity design.
Student-Centered LearningActivities focused on problem
solvingStudents formulate or
consider problems
Students decide what information is needed and how to obtain it
Students analyze information and propose solutions
Students develop social skills work collaboratively
Developing Student-Centered Learning Environments using Technology
I. Learn basic functions of Computer Applications
Word Processing(edit & format text and columns; create outlines, generate tables; insert graphs
Spreadsheets(perform calculations, sort data, create graphs /
charts)
Graphic Organizers(insert graphics, video, audio files; generate outlines from concept maps; create links
Developing Student-Centered Learning Environments using Technology
II. Learn how to integrate student use of basic computer functions into lessons
Match course objectives with computer functions
Trial run class activity using targeted application
Developing Student-Centered Learning Environments using Technology
III. Teacher to assume role of facilitator
Inquiry Based Learning
Problem-Based Learning
Project-Based Learning
Developing Student-Centered Learning Environments using Technology
IV. Teacher creates a classroom with computer management plan to include
Pre Computer Activities Teach / model the application ; share output rubric
At Computer Activities Process and manipulate information to enhance
understanding (Gardner, 1991) Reconcile observations with knowledge base (Savery & Duffy
1995)
Post Computer Activities Share findings with others and evaluate own information
(Festinger, 1957)

V. Develop trouble shooting plans
Potential Equipment / Connectivity issues
Lack of student technology skills
