Lunch and learn
- 1. Lunch and Learn ByTami Martin CUR/545 UsingTechnology forTeaching and Learning August 7, 2017 Dr. Cheryl Franklin
- 2. Why integrate technology in the classroom? Used as a tool to promote and extend student learning Technology engages students and creates active learners Not all students l3earn the same way, technology promotes individual learning Improves communication. Students collaborate with their peers using technology. Technology creates educational experiences that would not be possible otherwise. (Maloy,Verock, Edwards, &Woolf, 2017, pp. 4)
- 3. Facilitating Group Activities with Technology “Communication and collaboration focus, engage, and motivate students” (Maloy, et.al, pp, 62). Technology enables groupwork and supports collaboration in different ways (pp. 63). Promotes active learning in classrooms. “Group activities with technology creates new patterns of engagement and collaboration for students and teachers” (pp. 74).
- 4. Facilitating Group Activities with Technology All members have access to edit and make revisions to their respective parts. Team members have access to the same presentation to brainstorm and share ideas from anywhere across the globe. Comments are live and are placed within the presentation. To eliminate confusion, everyone works on the same presentation.
- 5. Conducting Research with Technology Teachers should sort through age-appropriate and relevant material to be used by students. Teachers must help students to evaluate web content resulting from online searches. “Teachers teach students how to research information and to become responsible digital citizens” (pp. 102)
- 6. Conducting Research with Technology Using technology helps students to find reliable sources. • Introduce students to search sites designed for students • Teach students to critically evaluate search results • UseVisual SearchTools The Internet is the world’s largest and linked document collection.
- 7. Communicating Final Projects with Technology Technology allows for students to publish their work in a variety of creative formats. Technology presents an opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge of the learned content. Visually attractive Engaging and creative Instant feedback
- 8. Managing a single computer classroom Use an overhead projector or LCD panel Use theTV as monitor Students work together in teams to complete tasks Use the computer for differentiated instruction. Rotate students to make sure everyone has an opportunity to use.
- 9. Managing a multi-computer classroom Provides a lot of opportunities for group work One computer can be shared with a group of students Students can engage with other students in the class at the same time
- 10. Managing Handheld Devices The teacher needs to discuss the expectations and guidelines for using the handheld devices in the classroom. Assign specific roles to the group members if there isn’t enough devices for everyone to access for the activities. Actively monitor students use of the handheld devices.
- 11. Managing iPads, Tablets, or Laptops Integrate into the instructional day. Monitor students use for staying on task and accessing appropriate websites. Review guidelines and procedures for using the technology. Have a Plan B set aside when the technology isn’t cooperating or not available. Have a system in place for storing and retrieving devices for use.
