Editor's Notes
- #3: Current research shows us that when technology is regularly used in the classroom, students become more focused for longer periods of time, they are excited to learn basic and new content, they are given the opportunity to learn at their own pace, and the acquisition of critical technical skills helps them prepare for a future that will be infused with technology (National Math and Science Initiative Blog, 2014). Additionally, teachers and administrators support bringing technology into the mainstream classroom because it supports critical thinking processes while it stimulates motivation and increases self-esteem. The addition of technology also promotes equity throughout the district whether the schools be from an impoverished or affluent neighborhood and will eventually change the school structure and the teachers’ role in the classroom (ed.gov, 2014).
- #4: Using technology in the classroom has resulted in students learning and accepting digital responsibility. Technology allows students to access multi-sensory learning and to learn through their own style. Students are more involved so they access more of the curriculum. The students who have never been engaged before are now excited to be in class and create their own products. More students are passing the state assessments in Texas schools since incorporating technology in the schools. Other impact on student learning is the increased interaction of shy students through blogs and instant messaging with the teacher (PoweronTexas.com, 2014).
- #5: To integrate multimedia in the classroom, teachers must first make sure that they are using the right media for the right students at the right time. Using the ASSURE lesson plan, teachers will take the time to analyze their learners and assess what style of learners they may be – aural, visual, kinesthetic. Teachers must also choose appropriate objectives, stating these objectives so the learner will understand what is expected of them. Next, a selection of the media and methods to delivery must be chosen. It is encouraged to use a student-centered strategy, but some objectives are best presented in a teacher-directed way. After planning for the utilization of the appropriate media and methods to be used, a teacher must require student participation and engagement immediately followed by feedback. Assessment must be incorporated into the lesson to evaluate whether the multimedia lesson and the objectives were successful in impacting student learning (Smaldino, Lowther, & Russell, 2012).
- #6: Technology readily available to most teachers today would be the iPod, Nano, and iPhone, smartboards, 3D printers, desktop computers, laptops, and tablets, as well as document cameras.
