8. Computer, Information, and Integration Literacy Internet- a global network of computers that contains information on a multitude of subjects Must have computer and information literacy to effectively use the internet to effectively perform actions such as searching for travel destinations or new jobs and the cost of living

9. Computer, Information, and Integration Literacy Integration Literacy- the ability to use computers, digital media, and other technologies combined with a variety of teaching and learning strategies to enhance student’s learning Teachers must understand how to appropriate technology to learning objectives, goals, and outcomes

10. What Is a Computer and What Does It Do? Computer- an electronic device that operates under the control of instructions stored in its memory, accepts data, processes the data according to specified rules, produces results, and stored the results for other use Data- a collection of unorganized facts Computers manipulate and process data to create information Information- data that is organized, has meaning, and is useful Input- data entered into the computer Output- processed results Storage- area of computer where data is held for future use Information Processing Cycle- cycle of input, process, output, and storage Report Card

11. What Is a Computer and What Does It Do? Hardware- the electronic and mechanical components that make up the computer Software- series of instructions that tell the hardware how to perform tasks

12. The Evolution of Computers and Digital Media 100 years ago we had the telegraph, telephone, radios, television, early computers, and now the personal computer (1980s) World Wide Web Communication, media creation, learning…. Age of convergence- the first decade of the 21st century Social Networking- the ability to communicate and collaborate with others in this same technological environment The goal of multimedia computing and communications is to assist individuals in organizing and managing vast amounts of information in various types of media Digital Media- those technologies that allow users to create new forms of interaction expression, communication, and entertainment in a digital format Goals- recreate as closely as possible face-to-face communication

22. GPS- Embedded Computer

23. Why Use Computer Technology in Education? The future of the world resides in the use of technology Teachers must adapt to be able to better prepare students Parents are demanding schools to use technology Technology influences learning in a positive manner Keeps attention, motivational, and promotes critical thinking as well as social interaction Enhance communication skills

24. Why Use Computer Technology in Education? International Society for Technology in Education- nonprofit group that promotes the use of technology to support and improve teaching and learning. Instrumental in developing the National Council for Acceleration for Teacher Education Standards For Teachers- define the fundamental concepts, knowledge, skills, and attitudes for applying technology in K-12 Standards for Administrators- Inspire excellence through transformational leadership, establish a robust digital age learning culture, advance excellence in digital age professional practices, ensure systemic transformation of the educational enterprise, and model and advance digital citizenship Standards for Students- creativity and innovation; communication and collaboration; research and information fluency; critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making; digital citizenship; and technology operations and concepts

25. Computing in the Digital Age Digital Students (Kids)- kids who are hyper communicators who use multiple tools to communicate, multi-taskerswho do several things at once with ease and goal oriented as the pursue multiple goals at the same time Teachers must decide to use old ways of teaching or decide to tap in to their students methods of learning in order to more effectively communicate knowledge to them It is important for teachers to be up to date with not only technology but their students

26. Why Use Computer Technology in Education? Information Fluency- the mastered ability to analyze and evaluate information Media Literacy- being able to create, develop, and successfully communicate information in all forms Research shows that collaborating students is a more effective way of learning as well as proactive activities such as creating radio stations, blogs, and school websites Data Literacy- students ability to view, analyze, and interpret data
