Technology Integration

Technology Integration

• Physical Education

Presented by Jim Dolan
2

• Our students have changed radically.
• Todays students are no longer the people our
  educational system was designed to teach.

3

• Todays students represent the first generations
  to grow up with this new technology.

4

• They have spent their entire lives surrounded by
  and using computers, videogames, digital music
  players, web cams, cell phones, and all the other
  toys of the digital age

5

• Todays average college grads have spent less
  than 5,000 hours of their lives reading
• But over 10,000 hours playing video games (not to
  mention 20,000 hours watching TV).

6

• Computer games, email, the Internet, cell phones
  and instant messaging are integral parts of their
  lives.

7

• It is now clear that as a result of this
  environment, students think and process
  information much differently

8
Digital Natives

• What should we call these new students of
  today? Some refer to them as the N-for Net-gen
  or D-for digital-gen -- or how about Digital
  Natives.

9
Digital Natives

• Our students today are all native speakers of
  the digital language of computers, video games
  and the Internet.

10
Digital Immigrants

• Those of us who were not born into the digital
  world but have become fascinated by it and
  therefore adopt technology are called Digital
  Immigrants.

11
Accent

• As Digital Immigrants learn to adapt to their
  environment, they always retain, to some degree,
  their "accent"

12
The Digital Immigrant Accent

• Turning to the Internet for information second
  rather than first
• Reading the manual for a program rather than
  assuming that the program itself will teach us to
  use it

13
More Accents

• Printing out your email
• Printing out a document written on the computer
  in order to edit it
• Bringing people physically into your office to
  see an interesting web site
• Did you get my email? phone call.

14

• Digital Natives are used to receiving information
  really fast
• They like to parallel process and multi-task
• They prefer their graphics before their text

15

• They prefer random access (like hypertext)
• They function best when networked
• They thrive on instant gratification and frequent
  rewards

16

• Digital Immigrants dont believe their students
  can learn successfully while watching TV or
  listening to music, because they (the Immigrants)
  cant

17

• The children sitting in our classes grew up on
  the twitch speed of video games and MTV.
• They are used to immediate gratification through
  hypertext, downloaded music, phones in their
  pockets, a library on their laptops, and instant
  messaging.

18
3 Kinds of Students

• The students who are truly self-motivated.
• I cant wait to get to class.
• 2. The students who go through the motions. They
  We have learned to play school.
• 3. The students who tune us out.
• Engage Me or Enrage Me.

19
Student Expectations

• Years ago, kids didnt expect to be engaged by
  everything they did
• There were no videogames, no CDs, no mp3s, none
  of todays special effects
• Kids lives were a lot less rich in media, less
  communication, and creative opportunities outside
  of school

20

• Every single student we teach today has something
  in his or her life thats really engaging
• Some may download songs, some may rap, lip-sync
  or sing karaoke, some may play video games, some
  may mix songs, and some may make movies
• But they all do something engaging

21
And the descriptions of the games?

• Create your own heroes
• Thrilling battles!
• Encounter
• Engage
• Explore
• Take on your friends.
• Research
• Lead
• Dont work alone.
• Exciting!

22
Engaged Students Will.

• The kids will master systems ten times more
  complex than algebra
• Understand systems ten times more complex than
  the simple economics we require of them
• Read far above their grade level when the goals
  are worth it to them
