Agents of ChangeWe believe to

Motivate you must

INTEGRATE!

We need to teach with being change agents in mind…..the history

• Technology has long been viewed as a means to deliver instruction since the lantern slide projector was introduced into the classroom in the late 1800’s.

Technology progression

• This conception of technology has guided its use through the last century with the introduction of …

– the overhead projector – 16mm film projector,

television– microcomputers – PDAs in the K-12 classroom

Keeping ALL students engaged!

• The missing motivator• Memory is context driven!• Learning in isolation produces islands of knowledge that are difficult to recall.

Sometimes all you’re asking of students is to absorb some information and then

demonstrate that they’ve understood.

Students can report on what they’ve learned by way of PowerPoint or HyperStudio

presentations, etc.
