What is Curriculum?The knowledge, skills,

and performance standards students are expected to acquire in particular grade levels

Plan or written document

Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration4

What is Curriculum?Country or state agencies


What is Curriculum?Curriculum Standards and Benchmarks

Curriculum standard Defines what a student is expected to know at

certain stages of educationBenchmark

Specific, measurable outcome


7

What is Technology Integration?Combining of all

technology parts, such as hardware and software, together with each subject-related area of curriculum to enhance learning

Establish connections between subject matter and the real world


What is Technology Integration?Curriculum drives

technology


What is Technology Integration?Classroom Integration

versus Traditional Computer Labs and Media CentersComputer labs

A designated classroom filled with computers

Teachers schedule time to use the labs for many purposes



versus Computer Labs and Media CentersPoint of instruction

Technology in the classroom at the teachers’ and students’ fingertips



versus Computer Labs and Media CentersPoint of instruction

Teachable moments


The Classroom in ActionIntroduction to Mr. Balado’s classroom

Five student computers networked to the school’s local area network and the World Wide Web

Instructional computer with access to the Web and connected to an interactive whiteboard

Allows Mr. Balado to access vast amounts of information



Integrating Technology into the CurriculumTechnology can motivate students and

increase class attendanceTechnology must be integrated into the

curriculumIdentify goalsDevelop innovative ways to teach a diverse

population of learners with different learning styles



Technology is a tool that creates valuable learning experiences for many different types of learners

Changing Instructional StrategiesTeachers are shifting from being the

dispenser of knowledge to being the facilitator of learningStudents can accomplish learning with the

teachers’ assistanceLearning is not just storage of knowledge, but

includes problem solving



Barriers to Technology IntegrationLack of teacher trainingSecurity constraintsLack of administration supportLimited time for teacher planningPlacement of computers in remote locationsBudget constraintsLack of high-speed school networksBasic resistance to change


Technology Integration and the Learning Process

The Learning ProcessAuthentic learning

Instructional activities that demonstrate real-life connections by associating the concept being taught with a real-life activity or event


Technology Integration and the Learning ProcessThe Learning Process

Active learning Students become active in the learning process

Anchored instruction Providing a knowledge base on which students can

build


Technology Integration and the Learning ProcessThe Learning Process

Problem-based instruction Students use the background (anchor) information

to solve complex problemsDiscovery learning

Inquire-based method for teaching and learning


Technology Integration and the Learning Process

Technology and the Learning ProcessNumerous technology tools to

support many types of instruction and learning Example - Body Works Allows students to build

cognitive scaffold Encourages students to think

in colors, sounds, and animations


Technology Integration and the Learning ProcessTechnology and the Learning Process

Numerous technology tools to support many types of instruction and learning The Web

Educational equalizer Allows children to experience new educational

opportunities Interaction with others outside of the school



Technology Integration and the Learning ProcessTechnology and the Learning Process

Numerous technology tools to support many types of instruction and learning Cooperative learning

Students work in groups to achieve learning objectives

Higher-order thinking skills



Strategies for Teaching with TechnologyBest strategy is to put the technology in the

hands of trained teachersProvide consistent application of technology

tools to support instructional curriculum areaCareful planning


The Role of the School DistrictTechnology plan

Outline of procedure for purchasing equipment and software

TrainingPlans often updated every one to three years


The Role of the School DistrictMentorship program

Teaming new teachers with experienced teachers


Planning for Technology Integration in the Classroom

Decide on most appropriate technology to achieve desired learner outcomes

Preparing the classroom environment


Planning for Technology Integration in the ClassroomOne-Computer Classroom

Maximize effectiveness of one computerProjection screensInteractive whiteboardUsed to introduce topics rather than specific

skills


Planning for Technology Integration in the ClassroomTwo-Computer Classroom

Develop a strategy to manage both computersMany questions determine strategy

Will the computers be configured the same? Web connectivity? Will students rotate through using one or both

computer on a daily basis? How much time per student?


Planning for Technology Integration in the ClassroomMore Than Two Computers

Arrange classroom into learning centersUse planning criteria mentioned previously


Planning for Technology Integration in the ClassroomUsing a Computer Lab and the Media Center

Advantages One computer per student Hands-on Tutorials Remediation Cooperative learning Computer skill instruction Internet research Whole class instruction Integrated learning systems (ILS)


Planning for Technology Integration in the Classroom

Using A Wireless Mobile LabPortable cart with

wireless notebook computers

Can be transported from one classroom to another


Planning Lessons with TechnologyMust consider skill levels of students

Skill assessment survey


Planning Lessons with TechnologyKWL Charts

Instructional planning chart to assist teachers in identifying curriculum objectives What students Know What students Want to know What the will Learn


Instructional ModelsA systematic guide for planning instruction or

a lesson


Instructional ModelsThe ASSURE Model

Guide for planning and delivering instruction that integrates technologies and media into the teaching process



Analyze the learnerState your objectives

or identify your objectives or purpose

Select Methods, Media, and Materials



Utilizing Methods, Media, and MaterialsRequire Learner ParticipationEvaluate and Revise



Getting Started at a New SchoolInformation About Technology

Find out who else in the school uses technology

Determine if there is a technology committee Teacher’s manual

Determine where to get technology support


Getting Started at a New SchoolTechnology Training

Does the school offer professional development or in-service training

Talk to your principal, curriculum resource teacher, other teachers, or district technology coordinator


Getting Started at a New SchoolHardware

Determine how to obtain additional hardware or upgrades

Join the technology committeeEducational grants


Getting Started at a New SchoolSoftware

Determine what type of software is availableCheck the classroom to see what is already

installedSpecial education requirementsProcedure for obtaining additional softwareIs a state bid list available?



Getting Started at a New SchoolOther Technologies

Media specialist can provide access to other technologies

Find a list of materials in use throughout the district


Getting Started at a New SchoolTechnology Supplies

Determine procedure for obtaining additional supplies and parts


Putting it All TogetherCreating an Integrated

Learning EnvironmentLearning centers

Breaks classroom into many types of learning environments


Putting it All TogetherThe Classroom Centers

Mr. Balado classroom Seven learning centers

Discovery computer center Web search center Modeling center Great explorers’ library center Scanning and photo center Science center Digital media project center



Putting it All TogetherThe Results of

Technology IntegrationMr. Balado’s results

Creative projects Students were actively

involved Higher-level thinking Improved self-esteem,

self-confidence, and writing skills
