Motivation of Students Through Constant Change

WAYS TO DISRUPT THE TRADITIONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WITH TECHNOLOGY.

Introducing

The days of traditional classroom settings have ended. In order to excite our children, we must begin with obvious visual and technological changes.

Before… (Boring) After….Excitement!!

The way to implement an innovation so that it will transform an organization is to implement it disruptively—not by using it to compete against the existing paradigm and serve existing customers, but to let it compete against “non-consumption,” where the alternative is nothing at all. (Christensen & Horn 2008)

According to Kim Haynes of www.teachhub.com, there are 12 ways to use technology in the classroom. Here are few examples

• Do a Powerpoint gameshow review• Have students complete classroom activity as if it were online• Try a Webquest• Use technology as a topic for writing• Create a class webpage• Do an email exchange• Create a class blog• Listen to – or create – a podcast• Publish your students work

Electing to have students interact in the learning process gives students ownership, thereby reinforcing the lessons learned.

Jayne Clare of http://www.teacherswithapps.com/17-pros-and-cons-of-using-ipads-in-the-classroom/ addresses the creative Pros and Cons of utilizing personal devices in the classroom, namely Apple Ipads.

The use of Ipads/Personal Devices creates an environment of creativity that will help to stimulate and engage students.

Currently Underutilized Tech

Computers do not deliver instruction. The teacher is still at the center of the classroom (Christensen & Horn 2008)

Our students must be globally conscious AND competitive!

Computers offer a way to customize instruction and allow students to learn in the way they are best wired to process information, in the style that conforms to them, and at a pace that matches their own.

(Christensen & Horn 2008)

Computer-based learning on a large scale is also less expensive than the current labor intensive system and could solve the financial dilemmas facing public schools.

(Christensen & Horn 2008)

Create opportunities for your students to shine! Student Webpages give them a innovative edge on

the World Wide Web.

According to Michael Sunnarborg of http://www.learningsolutionsmag.com/, facilitation makes learners

responsible for their own learning.

Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and synthesize the information, and present it professionally. The technology should become an integral part of how the classroom functions -- as accessible as all other classroom tools.”

According to Brian Gatens of http://education.cu-portland.edu/, there are 5 ways to transition to a much more technologically based classroom.

• Reimagine everything• Process out loud (Speak to all parties regarding

transition)• Do your research• Burn your camps (Abandon your old way of

instruction)• Get with people

Everyone needs a guide. Utilize your social skills and build networks that can assist in the creation of a new classroom.
