Using Technology With Classroom Instruction That Works

Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time. Rabindranath Tagore

Web 2.0 Tools

•Edmodo – Learning Management SystemProvides teachers and students a secure place to

connect and collaborate, to share content and educational applications, to access homework, grades, class discussions, and notifications. The goal is to help harness

the power of social media andto customize the classroom for each and every learner.

• No matter how much training teachers receive to prepare them for technology integration, most will not successfully employ that training without the leadership of the principal.

• The leadership in a school largely determines the outcome of technology integration; however, administrators cannot fully or effectively support technology if they do not understand it.

ICOT Assumptions for Effective Technology Integration

• Involves the routine use of digital tools to perform useful work.

• Variety of tasks, frequency of technology use, duration of technology use, and task-appropriateness.

• Into a variety of instructional approaches and learning activities.

• The NETS-S provide the best available general framework.

• The NETS indicators are addressed by teachers creating learning experiences that encourage or require students to use technology appropriately.

What is a Teacher? By Allan Glatthorn

What is a teacher?A guide, not a guard.

What is learning?A journey, not a destination.

What is discovery?Questioning the answers, not answering the questions.

What is the process?Discovering ideas, not covering content.

What is the goal?Open minds, not closed issues.

What is the test?Being and becoming, not remembering and reviewing.

What is learning?Not just doing things differently, but doing different things.

What is teaching?Not showing them what to learn, but showing them how to learn.

What is school?Whatever we choose to make of it.
