Why 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?

6
Globalization 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

7
The 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

8
The 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?

9
Knowledge 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

10
Technology will not have a significant impact on
student learning until teachers change the way
they teach.Larry Cuban, 1986

Technology and the Principal

• A Scenario As you read, jot down the ways that
  technology is being used by the principal and her
  faculty.

12
Standards

• Six standards see pp. 7-9 in the blue book
• Virginia Technology Plan see first three
  indicators under integration
• ISLLC Exercise

13
Two Views of the Present

• Two Stories
• The Projector
• The Document Camera

14
Integration 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.

Ideas About Integration

• 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

16
Promoting Technology Use

• New things
• Blogs
• Wikipedia, the IvyRun Wiki
• Del.icio.us

• The Voices of Youth
• International News
• The International Boiling Point of Water

17
Technology 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?
20
How 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

21
Things 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?

22

student learning until teachers change the way
they teach.Larry Cuban, 1986
23
ACOT 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

  /library.html

24
ACOT 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.

25
ACOT 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.

29
Ideas

• 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
