This document provides guidance on using technology to enhance student learning. It lists learning objectives and observable teacher and student behaviors related to effective technology use. Examples of technology that could be used include LCD projectors, document cameras, clickers, Promethean boards, websites, and the internet. Resources like IPods, Pandora, PowerPoints, teacher websites, and Edmodo are recommended. Teachers are encouraged to reflect on what technology they currently use and how to integrate more technology into their classes.

1. High Impact Instructional Moves Week 4

3. I-6 Effective examples of technology use would include, but are not limited to: Using LCD projectors and computers to display directions, objectives, notes, etc. Using document cameras or similar technology to make small items visually accessible to whole class. Using clickers, or other electronic feedback systems, to check for understanding, reinforcement, and/or assessment. Using Promethean boards or equivalents as key component of lessons that includes students‘ use of board. Maintaining Web page (e.g., Wiki) for calendar updates, deadlines, etc. as well as downloadable items, handouts, supplemental links, etc. Using the Internet to learn about world cultures and specifically cultures of students in classroom and applying that learning to instruction.

4. I-6 Observable EvidenceEffective Student Behaviors Students have hands-on access to technology (e.g., document cameras, Smart Board). Teacher and students are actively engaged in learning and using technology tools and resources (e.g., computers, interactive whiteboards, digital projects, document cameras) and support each other in this work. Students use technology thoughtfully to enhance communication, acquire information efficiently, and integrate online and offline learning. Students demonstrate familiarity with tools and can decide when and how to use tools. Teacher and students use digital media resources (e.g., graphics, videos, audio, animations) to enhance their teaching and learning projects; ample opportunities are provided to share and display their work. Students use technology resources to write for broader audiences (e.g., publish stories via Web; use computer programs/tools to create media). Students regularly use technology resources to engage in collaborative projects with classmates.

5. Resources IPOD and Pandora: IPOD’s are great for creating playlists for specific activities, workouts, dance unit etc. If your department does not have an IPOD you can also use Pandora- great free internet radio with few commercials. Pandora is available on smart phones or computers. Power points are a great way to guide instruction. They are interesting and give visual learners a better chance at grasping the information. Just ask your school Tech rep for a projector. see the example power points on the moodle menu

6. Websites can be very useful in keeping student up to date with assignments. They also save the teacher time because students can go right to the website for practice worksheets and study materials. Check out my website for ideas: http://msrosesspewebsite.weebly.com/ Teacher facebook page OR Edmodo: I recommend using edmodo because it is made specifically for educational purposes. Students sign-up and create a profile just like facebook. Just go to http://www.edmodo.com/home and sign-up to get started. You can send messages and/or assignments to students. Also available as an app on smart phones so students will have easy access to their account!

8. Questions to Ponder: What technology do you currently use in your classroom? What did you like or what would you add to the example resources? IPOD, pandora, power point, website, & Edmodo How do you plan to integrate more technology into your classes?
