3What is the role of technology in the classroom?
?
4Technology in the classroom has not met our
expectations.
Why?
5The traditional view of technology
- Viewed technology as a teacher
- To deliver the instruction
- To compete with the teacher
6What have we learned?
- Technology is not always a good teacher
7Is there any hope for technology?
- Yes
- But, we must change our view
8What if we surveyed parents?
- What software do you use?
- Word processing
- Spreadsheets
- Databases
- Email
- Desktop publishing
9What if we surveyed teachers?
- What software do your students use?
- Drill and practice
- Games
- Tutorials
10Recent research
- Suggests that application software can support
higher level learning - Better prepares student for the workplace
- Drill-and-practice and tutorials support basic
skills and rote learning
11How do we use applications in instruction?
- Integrate computer technology to support inquiry
- Use computers as a tool rather than as an
instructional delivery device
12Using technology as a tool
- How?
- To calculate
- To determine
- To identify
- To summarize
- To find information
- To organize information
13Using technology as a tool
- The effectiveness as a tool has been
established - People use technology as a tool everyday in the
workplace
14A new way of teaching
- Requires a different approach to teaching
- Teachers role will change
- Students role will change
- Instruction will change
15The changing role of the teacher
- Technologically competent
- Understands relationship between computers and
learning - Creates a student-centered learning environment
- Uses computers as a tool
16Recent technology standards for teachers
- Teachers willaccess, generate, and manipulate
data (ISTE, 1998) - Teachers will use technology in communicating,
collaborating, conducting research and solving
problems (ISTE, 1998) - They must plan and deliver instructional units
that integrate a variety of software,
applications and learning tools (ISTE, 1998)
17Roles of the teacher
- Designer
- Facilitator
- Manager
18Teacher as designer
- Integrates learning strategies
- Embeds technology into the instruction
- Utilizes multiple learning resources
- Uses real world data
19Teacher as facilitator
- No longer the main source of information
- Asks directed questions rather than providing
answers - Models the physical and cognitive processes
- Provides necessary scaffolding for students
20Teacher as manager
- Plans a viable rotation schedule
- Provides a multidimensional learning
environment - Encourages students to solve problems
- Finds solutions to technical problems
21The changing role of instruction
- Problem based
- Authentic data
- Uses problems students can relate to
- Provides for many sources of information
22The student as researcher
Primary role is a researcher
Gathers data
Analyzes data
Generates knowledge
23The student as collaborator
- Goal is problem solving through collaboration
- Works effectively as a team member
- Values team collaboration
24Recent technology standards for students
- ...use productivity tools to collaborate in
constructing technology-enhanced models,
preparing publications, and producing other
creative works (ISTE, 1998) - ... use technology to locate, evaluate, and
collect information from a variety of sources
(ISTE, 1998) - ... employ technology in the development of
strategies for solving problems in the real world
(ISTE, 1998)
25Using computer technology
- How can we use technology in the classroom?
- Use technology to support the learning process,
critical thinking, problem solving. - Encourage collaboration.
