Seamless Technology Integration

What are the uses of technology in the classroom?  (2 main things)

1. The use of technology should also increase efficiency and allow for the organization and management of instructional and non-instructional data. 

2. Technology should also increase the ease at which the teacher extends learning, provides differentiated instruction, and offers timely and meaningful feedback for students.

21^st Century Skills

A term used to describe a broad spectrum of abilities and habits that educators are responsible for providing students in order to prepare them for future endeavors - including college, career, or otherwise.  Although no specific definition of these abilities exists, most would agree that critical thinking, problem solving, self-directed learning, teamwork, the ability to communicate ideas, adaptability, leadership, creativity, and digital literacy are at the top on the list.

Collaborative Learning Platform

A digital tool used in the classroom to provide a real-time collaborative work environment that enables students and teacher to share files, contribute to discussions, take and administer assessments, provide frequent and meaningful feedback within or outside of the classroom.

What is ICT?

Scripted/Closed Box Instruction

Instruction designed around lessons that place the teacher at the center of the lesson thereby limiting the students’ ability to explore and problem-solve.  Examples of a closed-box lesson are evident when most of the instruction is delivered by the instructor (or text) with methods, outcomes, and assessments that are predetermined.

eTransformation

The three stages an individual will experience as they increase technical literacy (amongst themselves and their students) while incorporating various digital tools into their lessons in an effort to transform teaching and learning.

Sage on the Stage

Term used to describe the teacher as the center-of-attention in the classroom.  The sage on the stage is oftentimes the primary vehicle for delivering content and understanding.

Collaborative Learning Platform

Problem-based Learning

Flipped Classroom

is an instructional strategy that “flips” the traditional classroom practice of providing content and instruction in the classroom while homework and projects get completed at home.   A flipped classroom brings the task of homework/project completion into the classroom while content acquisition is done independently (and usually online and outside of the class environment).

Blended Learning

What are the benefits of Blended Learning? (7 of them)

• Increased access with technology

• The power of exploration (problem-solving)

• Increased teacher efficiency (differentiation and data-management)

• Collaboration and outside experts (the ability to extend learning)

• Frequent and meaningful feedback based on real time assessment capability

• Data-driven lesson design

• Student-centered learning rooted in interest
