"Knowing content" is not sufficient in itself --

knowledge to

rather, students must apply
construct new understandings,
solve problems
  make decisions
develop products and
communicate
Technology can facilitate this type of learning
8
Our Vision
  • Students will use technology seamlessly as a
    regular part of their education
  • Each student will come to class with their own
    computing device
  • All of the computing devices will be
    interconnected
  • Teachers and Students will have the skills
    necessary to appropriately use the Hardware and
    Software

9
Pedagogical Foundations
  • Curriculum must drive the need for technology
    integration
  • Technology is simply the tool used to facilitate
    student-centered learning
  • Technology makes it easier to accomplish
  • Taxonomy of Technology Use1
  • Experiencing
  • Informing
  • Reinforcing
  • Integrating
  • Utilizing
