5Why are we talking about technology at all?
- 11/9/89
- 8/9/95
- Work Flow Software
- Open-Sourcing
- Outsourcing
- Supply-Chaining
- Insourcing
- In-forming
- The Steroids
- From Tom Friedman, The World is Flat, 2005
- What do these mean for education?
6Globalization 3.0 Skills
- Self-discipline (working without direct
supervision) - Be a little geeky
- Collaboration
- Global Perspective
- Speak Chinese
- Able to learn and relearn
- Flexible innovative
7The Bottom Line
- The challenge for administrators is to develop
motivated teachers who are actively engaged in
teaching and learning, open to new ideas and
approaches, and committed to students and who
change over the lifetime of their teaching
careers. - Miskel Hoy, 2005, 7th edition
8The Flat World Outside
- Blogs and Hurricane Katrina
- Wikis and Hurricane Katrina
- Satellite Imagery and Mapping
- Getting the News (at home)
- Getting the News (abroad)
- What skills do I need to deal with all this
information?
9Knowledge Work
- Giving and receiving instruction is preparation
for knowledge work. Knowledge work begins when
the student does something with the information
received and in the process makes the information
his or her own. (Schlechty, 77) - Some teachers treat all objectives as recall
10Technology will not have a significant impact on
student learning until teachers change the way
they teach.Larry Cuban, 1986
11Technology and the Principal
- A Scenario As you read, jot down the ways that
technology is being used by the principal and her
faculty.

12Standards
- Six standards see pp. 7-9 in the blue book
- Virginia Technology Plan see first three
indicators under integration - ISLLC Exercise
13Two Views of the Present
- Two Stories
- The Projector
- The Document Camera
14Integration is
- Its about reflecting on our practice.
- Its about solutions to problems (PortaPortal)
- Its about meeting needs.
- Two Stories About Blogs
- My Own ala The Secret Life of Bees
- Reality Chris Bs Blog Chris Bs Source, The
rest of Chriss class! EEK!! - Its also about objectives, appropriate
activities and aligned assessment.

- Doing the same thing weve always donebut
bettertransparent technologies - Communicate
- Acess Information/Research
- Practice
- Present
- Assess/Reflect
- Doing the same things weve always doneon
steroidspushing the envelope of new things - Interactive multimedia
- Social Software
- Information/knowledge explosion
- Primary sources
16Promoting Technology Use
- New things
- Blogs
- Wikipedia, the IvyRun Wiki
- Del.icio.us
- The Voices of Youth
- International News
- The International Boiling Point of Water
17Technology and the Curriculum
- Learning from (technology provides curriculum
drill practice, integrated learning systems,
textbook enhancements) - Learning about (technology as curriculum
computer lab or class, programming, skills
taught in context) - Learning with (technology supports curriculum
the GOLD standard)

What do your teachers need in order to integrate
technology effectively?
20How Do You Evaluate Now?
- Take a minute to list the things you might look
for when you observe teachers. - Two Scenarios Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones
21Things to Consider
- Who is using technology teacher/students/both
- When is technology being used before/during/after
instruction - How is technology being used research,
organization, analysis, presentation - What kind of technology is being used?
- Where is technology being used classroom, lab,
media center, other? - The most important question WHY?
22Technology will not have a significant impact on
student learning until teachers change the way
they teach.Larry Cuban, 1986
23ACOT Research Question
- What happens to students and teachers when they
have access to technology whenever they need
it. - Changing the Conversation about Teaching
Learning and Technology A Report on 10 years of
ACOT Research - http//www.apple.com/education/k12/leadership/acot
/library.html -
24ACOT Research Findings
- Teachers pass through phases on a continuum as
they learn to integrate technology. - Research is starting to show that how quickly you
pass through the stages depends on your
educational philosophy. - Remember, it was a TEN year study.
25ACOT Stages
Entry Teacher is learning the basics of a technology, e.g., how to set up equipment and operate it.
Adoption Teacher begins to use the technology in management areas, e.g., computer generated quizzes or worksheets, gradebooks.
Adaptation Teacher begins to use software to support instruction, e.g., a commercially produced content area program or productivity tools (word processor, data base)
Appropriation Teacher begins to focus on collaborative, project-based technology use and technology becomes one of several instructional tools.
Invention Teacher begins to develop different uses for technology, e.g., creates projects that combine two or more technologies.

27Knowledge Work
- Giving and receiving instruction is preparation
for knowledge work. Knowledge work begins when
the student does something with the information
received and in the process makes the information
his or her own. (Schlechty, 77) - Some teachers treat all objectives as recall

29Ideas
- Give teachers timeand a specific goal
- Developing strategies/finding resources for
integrating technology into their current classes - Developing units that take advantage of
technologys unique characteristics - Focus on scaffolding
- Webquests
- Microsoft templates
- Lesson plan websites like MarcoPolo
