Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Welcome to this presentation on how technology can affect the education of our students. As a district we need to do everything in our power to equip our students with the technological skills and background they need to succeed in school and in their future. We need to continually improve the way students learn. 21 st century information and communication tools can positively influence student learning processes and outcomes.
  2. Our district’s mission is to “Educate for success in an environment of learning, respect, and responsibility”. We must work together to ensure that we are meeting the technological needs of our student body. The most effective schools provide a ladder of opportunities for learners.
  3. Technology improves students’ education in many ways. Five of the main ways are as follows: The use of computer based instruction positively influences student achievement. The use of computer based instruction has positively increased student motivation and engagement. This leads to an overall positive school climate. Computer based instruction leads to higher quality instruction for students by teachers. Computer based instruction helps develop critical thinking and problem solving skills in students. Computer based instruction helps prepare students to become productive members of society and be better prepared for the work force.
  4. Studies show the following things influence gains in achievement on test scores. The use of laptops is one example of providing ubiquitous access to technology. Alignment of content-area standards and technology curriculum is key. Content area learning games, and simulation software improve math and content area scores.
  5. -This study is one example that shows students who receive computer based instruction outperform students who don’t on achievement tests. -Other studies show that students who use technologies such as computer assisted instruction, integrated learning systems, simulation and software systems that teach higher order thinking and collaborative networked technologies, show positive gains in achievement on standardized tests and national tests. (Schacter, 1999)
  6. As educators it is our job to help students become engaged and excited about what they’re learning. The 1:1 studies analyzed by Bebell & O’Dwyer, (2010) state that student engagement increased dramatically in response to the enhanced educational access and opportunities afforded by 1:1 computing. Students like their classes more and develop more positive attitudes when their classes include computer-based instruction. Recent advances in networked technologies have made working on a computer both social and collaborative. (Schacter, 1999)
  7. The use of 1:1 computing models has the potential to transform education and lead to changes in teacher practices. -Laptop computers are not technological tools; rather, they are cognitive tools that are holistically integrated into the teaching and learning processes of the school. (Bebell & O’Dwyer, 2010). -Some form of 1:1 computing will be the norm for the majority of American classrooms at some point in the future. The use of technology in the classroom has led to a change in more student centered instruction. ACOT had a positive change in teacher practices in that they started using more cooperative work and less teacher lecture.
  8. Technology improves quality of instruction. Teachers need to be familiar with the latest trends in technology in order to make learning as relevant as possible and to support different instructional strategies. Researchers from McREL have identified research based instructional strategies and technology that supports them.
  9. Studies have been conducted which show that students who use technology consistently, in various ways, become more critical thinkers and develop improved problem solving skills. Scardamalia & Bereiter (1996) created Computer Supported Intentional Learning Environments (CSILE) which is a widely studied collaborative computer application in schools. Whole classrooms conceive, respond to, and reframe what is said and written on computers. These students ask questions, search other students work, comment and review on peer work, and then formulate answers to their original questions. 1. CSILE students surpass other students in depth of understanding and reflection. 2. CSILE students demonstrate use of progress thought, multiple perspectives and independent thinking. Also, the Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT) experiences showed new learning experiences requiring higher level reasoning and problem solving.
  10. The goal of becoming educated has always been to prepare students to live productive lives within society. The most effective schools provide a ladder of opportunities for learners. Research shows that when students learn to use and apply applications used in the world of work, they acquire some of the prerequisite skills for workforce preparedness. (Cradler, McNabb, Freeman, & Burchett, 2002) Examples of such applications are shown on the slide. Career preparation can also be enhanced through the use of thematic and interdisciplinary projects.
  11. Together, our district, administrators and educators need to prepare our students for success in the 21st century. Our students are the future, so we need to surround them with technology and opportunities to use it, in order to increase their motivation for learning and ultimately further achievement.
