How is technology transforming teaching and learning?

Anywhere, Anytime learning–Blended Learning – blending of online learning and face to

face instruction–NMHU refers to this style as “hybrid” learning–Advantages of blended learning○Virtual field trips○Open discussion○Accessibility○Guest Lectures○Vast resources○Accommodation of learning styles○Assessment and Tracking


12-5


Realizing the Full Impact of Technology on LearningDevelopments in social networking, blogs, video-sharing sites and mobile learning devices (MLDs)

Teachers need to stay up to date on integrating technologies for tech-savvy students

Educators must develop new assessment techniques to evaluate student learning that occurs through use of advanced technology

Virtual Schools and Online LearningVirtual Schools – instruction takes place over the internet Blended Learning – combination of online and face-to-face instruction


12-6


Questions to address to ensure all students have a high quality online experience

•Should online classes be available for middle school and elementary students?

•Should online courses be aligned with state academic standards?

•Who should take care of technology needs?

•Are online teachers trained?

•Should parental approval be required?

•Should students receive the same credit?

•How can quality of course be evaluated if course is off site?


12-7


E-Learning and Virtual Schools

• Online education to supplement the school curriculum

• Five states are piloting online schools

• Some educators, policymakers, and researchers have expressed concern about exaggerated claims for online learning (Research has yet to verify the claims of increased learning)

• Parents are concerned that the technology instruction is limiting the interaction between students and teachers and eliminating the socialization process in schools

What digital technologies can be integrated into teaching?

Online social networking – networks that allow uses to communicate via chat, email, blogs, voice chatand discussion groups• Facebook• MySpace• Twitter• YouTube• Blogs (web log)• Wikis• 3D virtual reality worlds• Podcasts• E-portfolio• Mobile Learning


12-10

What digital technologies can be integrated into teaching?

Digital Resources for Different Subject Areas

•Fine Arts

•Language Arts

•Mathematics

•Science

•Social Studies

•Common teacher sites

•Sitesforteachers.com teach-nology.com

•Lessonplans.com ratemy teacher.com


12-11

How Available and Frequently Used are the Latest technologies in the Classroom?

Availability

• Computers are available in most K-12 public school classrooms

• Approximately 5.3 students per computer

Examples of technologies– Videoconferencing units– interactive whiteboards– classroom response systems– MP3 players/iPods– Document camersa– Smartphones– PDAs– Ultramobile PCs


12-12

Use of Technology for Classroom Preparation and Instruction

Internet used for

•Preparing Lessons

•Delivering in-class instruction

•94% of K-12 public school teachers

•Many teachers use downloaded templates for instruction and the preparation of forms

•Many school districts use Excel spreadsheets for all grading


12-13

Student Use of Technology in the Classroom

Learning/practicing skillsOnline researchPreparing written text

Many theorists view computer assisted instruction as an extension of Skinner’s behaviorist theory.

“Anyone can learn anything if given enough time and incremental tasks.”


12-14

What does research say about technology integration and student learning?

Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow Project (ACOT)

•Students given computers scored as well as or better than students without computers

•Teachers changed teaching method and style

•Intel’s “Teach to the Future” prepares pre service teachers to develop lessons integrating the Microsoft Office package. NMHU is one of the participating schools (GNED 444).


12-15


Integrating Technology Stages

•Entry – teachers learned to use computers

•Adoption – teachers began to teach students how to use computers

•Adaptation – teachers began to use technology (computers) as a tool to teach with

•Appropriation – teachers began to explore new teaching possibilities with computers

•Invention – teachers collaborated with peers to create authentic inquiry learning activities


12-16


Another Meta-analysis Study

•7 studies showed positive findings in regard to achievement, 7 showed negative or mixed findings

•10 studies in core areas yielded results from very positive to cautiously negative

•10 studies showed higher levels of achievement for computer using classrooms

•5 studies showed improvement in students attitude and more learned in less time

U.S. Department of Education meta-analysis

•Online students performed better than face-to-face counterparts– The study looked at older learners and has been questioned


12-17

What are the challenges of integrating technology into teaching?

Internet access

•Almost universal in schools

•Reduction in the number of students per computer

Digital divide

•Evidence of a digital divide in the ownership and use of technology at home compared to income

•Less advantaged schools/ districts are becoming “grant writers” in order to purchase necessary equipment and hire tech. experts.


12-18


Higher-income homes are more likely to own

•Desktop computers

•Laptop computers

•iPods/MP3 players

•Game consoles

•E-book readers

•Tablet computers (i-Pads)

•Many universities require a lap top for all entering freshmen – cost issue - Pell grant has approved this expenditure


12-19


High Quality Continuous Training in Technology for Teachers

The GenYES Model: Student-led Technology Integration

•Empowers students to play a major role in supplying technology integration in the school– 2,000 schools and 75,000 teachers have collaborated– 3 components○ GenYES – Student-Supported Professional Development○ Tech YES – Student Technology Literacy Certification○ GenerationTECH – Student-Led Technology Support

Teacher feedback of GenYES projects has been very positive


12-20


International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards for teachers to integrate technology into teaching:

1.Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity

2.Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments

3.Model Digital-Age Work and Learning

4.Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility

5.Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership

6.ISTE is an accrediting agency – akin to NCATE (SOE) and NCA (NMHU)

National Education Technology PlanU.S. Department of Education and the Office of Education Technology

Five Goals for technology integration1.0 Learning: Engage and Empower2.0 Assessment: Measure What Matters3.0 Teaching: Prepare and Connect4.0 Infrastructure: Access and Enable5.0 Productivity: Redesign and Transform


12-22



Some reasons why technology is not more widely accepted in education:

• Contradictory advice from experts

• Intractable working conditions

• The inherent unreliability of technology

• Policymakers’ disrespect for teachers’ opinions

12-23

Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology in the classroom


The advocates: computers will improve education

• Educators need to use it as a tool for enhancing the education of students

• They have the potential for improving education

• To avoid their use is to limit learning possibilities

12-24

Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology in the classroom


The opposition: Computers will not improve education

• Overcrowded classrooms

• Teacher incompetence

• Lack of security

• Lack of funds

• Computers can distract educators from their focus

• Many programs are merely geared to the “practice test” since the testing companies are producing classroom materials.
