- There once was a day in education where pencils arrived at schools. Teachers & administrators were concerned about how they would be used in the classroom -- would there be enough paper, who will sharpen these tools?
- But then another day came, when the truck arrived at the school with a box full of calculators. The question then came up, “ Is it permissible for our students to use calculators? ” “ Should we not require them to continue to use the technology of the pencil that we have so diligently integrated and used in the classrooms? ” And of course, we all said to our students, “ Well, are you going to carry a calculator around with you wherever you go... ”
- Now there is the iPad. The question is before us. “ How will it be integrated into the classroom? ”
- I make this comparison to emphasize that all three of these examples are all technological tools. At their core, they are just that. They are tools. And yet, for whatever reason, as educators, regardless of the new technology that comes our way, and that is available for us to integrate into student learning environments, we often feel the pressure to make the iPad, or make that technology, the central focus of the classroom. And yet, we know, at our core, that by doing so, we are...
- ...attempting to put the cart before the horse. Because we really do know, that effective instruction, really is about ...
- ... our students. And making sure that we are challenging them to think and use the resources available to them to under the content of our discipline
- Daniel Willingham raised an excellent point related to this idea. He emphasizes that as technology comes into classrooms, often teachers initially ask the question in their own mind. How can I use this tool? Willingham emphasizes that these are not appropriate questions for educators to be asking. We should instead respond... I want to do “ X. ” What is the tool that will help me do it? We must realize that the “ X ” is about the objective. It is about the content we want our students to know. By doing so, we have a much more effective handle, and a much more effective question to contemplate as we move forward with the integration of technology.
- Obviously, effective instruction includes these three components: Objectives, Activities, and Assessment. I raise them here, merely to emphasize that when considering effective technology integration, it must begin with effective objectives. Of course the reality of that is that trying to bring in technology into a newly created lesson can often be more difficult than integrating into an already successful lesson. The point I ’ d like to make is to examine and look at existing lessons. What is your favorite lesson? Use that as a starting point to integrate technology. Then consider the activities & assessment. Could technology be a meaningful component of the lesson?
- A great questioning strategy would begin with an example question. Is there some way that we can use the functions and features of the iPad to help our students master the given objective?
- Likewise... Something that will allow them to showcase and demonstrate, for assessment purposes, whether or not they fully understand the concepts of that given objective.
- Returning to the SAMR Model from Session 1, we must step back from the technology and see the big picture as educators. From there, we begin to purposefully plan for effective integration of technology. When that happens, there is success, not just for the students, but for the teachers as well.
