What is the role of technology in the classroom?
+ = ?
Technology in the classroom has not met our expectations.
The traditional view of technology
Viewed technology as a teacher
To deliver the instruction
To compete with the teacher
What have we learned?
Technology is not always a good teacher
Is there any hope for technology?
Yes
But, we must change our view
What if we surveyed parents?
What software do you use?
Word processing
Spreadsheets
Databases
Desktop publishing
What if we surveyed teachers?
What software do your students use?
Drill and practice
Games
Tutorials
Recent 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
How do we use applications in instruction?
Integrate computer technology to support inquiry
Use computers as a tool rather than as an instructional delivery device
Using technology as a tool
How? To calculate To determine To identify To summarize To find information To organize information
Using technology as a tool
The effectiveness as a tool has been established
People use technology as a tool everyday in the workplace
A new way of teaching
Requires a different approach to teaching
Teacher’s role will change
Student’s role will change
Instruction will change
The changing role of the teacher
Technologically competentUnderstands relationship between computers
and learning
Creates a student-centered learning environment
Uses computers as a tool
Recent technology standards for teachers
“Teachers will…access, 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)
Roles of the teacher
Designer
Facilitator
Manager
Teacher as designer
Integrates learning strategies
Embeds technology into the instruction
Utilizes multiple learning resources
Uses real world data
Teacher 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
Teacher as manager
Plans a viable rotation schedule
Provides a multidimensional learning environment
Encourages students to solve problems
Finds solutions to technical problems
The changing role of instruction
Problem based
Authentic data
Uses problems students can relate to
Provides for many sources of information
The student as researcher
Primary role is a researcherresearcher
Gathers data
Analyzes data
Generates knowledge
The student as collaborator
Goal is problem solving through collaborationWorks effectively as a team member
Values team collaboration
Recent 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)
Using computer technology
How can we use technology in the classroom?
Use technology to support the learning process, critical thinking, problem solving.
Encourage collaboration.
