![Page 1: The course philosophy is the same as the one described by the Forcier & Descy (2008) textbook that has been selected for this course: … to lead teachers.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032605/56649e795503460f94b78e92/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
The course philosophy is the same as the one described by the Forcier & Descy (2008) textbook that has been selected for this course:
… to lead teachers and those aspiring to be teachers to become proficient at applying the computer to solve problems, to infuse the computer into the curriculum in order to help students do the same, and to encourage both teachers and learners to integrate technology into their professional, academic, and personal lives in useful and meaningful ways. Those who are successful in doing this will indeed come to perceive the computer as an extension of their human capability. The computer will allow them to do more, to do it faster, and to do it more creatively and more accurately.
Media as a tool : [ symbols, pictures, sound, video ]

•According to school principals, most teachers possessed the required technical skills to use ICT for administrative purposes such as preparing report cards, taking attendance or recording grades, while fewer had the necessary qualifications to effectively engage students in using ICT to enhance their learning.
•Three out of four (76%) principals reported that more than 75% of teachers possessed the required technical skills to use ICT for administrative purposes.•By contrast, not quite half (46%) of principals reported that more than 75% of teachers had the necessary qualifications to engage students in using ICT effectively.
Not quite half of principals felt that most of their teachers were adequately prepared to
effectively engage students in using ICT

More than nine out of ten principals (92%) either slightly agreed or strongly agreed that “ICT is worth the investment”. More than 90% of them also slightly or strongly agreed with the following statements:
ICT allows teachers to broaden and enrich the curriculum (96%);Overall, ICT enables the curriculum to be more challenging and enriching(93%);ICT enables students to go beyond the prescribed curriculum, thereby facilitating an increased knowledge base (92%) (data not shown).

How is technology taught in Alberta schools?
Historically, technology has been standalone curriculum or course (shop, typing, etc…)Today virtually every subject requires ICT skills.Students need to learn when and what is the most appropriate tool to use to solve a problem.
![Page 13: The course philosophy is the same as the one described by the Forcier & Descy (2008) textbook that has been selected for this course: … to lead teachers.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032605/56649e795503460f94b78e92/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is the Information and Communication Program of Studies?The ICT curriculum is the basis for a program of studies, K-12. Provincial implementation was expected by June 2003.The ICT program outlines what students are expected to know and be able to do with respect to technology.The program, which is intended to be taught within core programs and courses, emphasizes the processes and skills that are best learned and demonstrated through application.

Herman HollerithAmerican inventor Herman Hollerith. While working for the US Census Bureau in the early 1880s he came upon the idea of building a machine that could streamline tabulations. The first real machine that actually worked with punch cards. Thus Jacquard’s punch card loom was a key aspect of Hollerith’s Tabulating machine.

The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and computer). A 1000 times faster than the Mark I.15,000 sq. ft., 30 tons, worked in decimal not binary (it took ten vacuum tubes to represent one decimal digit). 18,000 tubes…

Bruner’s learning & representation stages
EnactiveRepresent the world in terms of personal action with objects or events.
IconicConcrete images, e.g., “Windows interface”
SymbolicEvents, objects, procedures in terms of symbols e.g., language (verbal and written), Text based interface used to interact with the computer Operating system.
Analogy to Bruner’s ideas: Files Folders in paper format, working on a desk. Computer Interface: File Folder directory system working through a GUI (Iconic) or in a text format (Symbolic).

Alberta LearningSome excellent questions by the students in the class.
How much does it cost to develop learning objects?What happens to links as the site changes?How would you use this in class?Is there a problem in running these learning objects over the Internet?What are the indicators to show this type of technology supports or enhances learning?Why are we building these learning objects?
