This document provides guidance on planning for technology integration in the classroom. It discusses that technology integration requires collaboration between teachers and specialists to support curriculum goals. Effective integration engages students through active learning, participation, feedback and real-world connections. The document then outlines six steps to plan a lesson integrating technology: 1) plan the lesson without technology, 2) identify available resources, 3) research relevant technology standards, 4) write objectives incorporating technology, 5) determine assessments of both content and technology, and 6) develop the full lesson plan integrating technology and assessing both.
Planning for technology integration in the classroom
- 1. PLANNING FOR TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION IN THE CLASSROOM EDJE AMBAS III-BSITE
- 2. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION • Integration is when classroom teachers use technology to introduce, reinforce, extend, enrich, assess, and remediate student mastery of curricular targets.
- 3. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION • Integration is an instructional choice that generally includes collaboration and deliberate planning—and always requires a classroom teacher’s participation. It cannot be legislated through curriculum guides nor will it happen spontaneously. Someone with vision—an administrator, a teacher, or a specialist—needs to model, encourage, and enable integration, but only a classroom teacher can integrate technology with content-area teaching.
- 4. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION • Effective technology integration is achieved when its use supports curricular goals. It must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts.
- 5. CLASSROOM • Classrooms are found in educational institutions of all kinds, including public and private schools, home schools, corporations, and religious and humanitarian organizations. The classroom attempts to provide a safe space where learning can take place uninterrupted by other distractions.
- 6. PLANNING FOR TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION IN THE CLASSROOM
- 7. STEP 1: PLAN YOUR LESSON WITHOUT THE TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION FIRST • If you do not teach a specific subject area, decide what type of lesson you want to teach (i.e. math, social studies, science, etc.). • Once you know the subject area, start developing your goals and objectives of the lesson (without the technology integration). • Develop your entire lesson without the technology integration first.
- 8. STEP 2: KNOW YOUR RESOURCES • Do you have the proper equipment in the school for your lesson (i.e., computer lab, individual computer in the class, Ipads, Cell phones, Internet Access, etc.)?
- 9. STEP 3: RESEARCH THE TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS THAT CORRELATE WITH YOUR LESSON • Identify the technology skills needed by students to complete the planned activity in the lesson: You can write these down on the side or write/type them into your lesson. Once you know what specific technology skills are needed, then it’s time to research! • If your school has a curriculum plan with technology standards, look there first. If your school DOES NOT have a technology curriculum, visit the Department of Education webpage. Most state
- 10. STEP 4: WRITE LEARNING OBJECTIVES/PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES THAT INCLUDE TECHNOLOGY • Use the technology standards you have found and your initial learning objectives to develop specific objectives that include the technology integration
- 11. STEP 5: KNOW HOW YOU WILL ASSESS THE TECHNOLOGY COMPONENT OF YOUR LESSON • Will you use a rubric? Will you use teacher observation? How will you know if students understand both the instructional content and the technology you integrated?
- 12. STEP 6: PLAN YOUR LESSON WITH THE TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION • Either add or rewrite your performance objectives with the technology integration • In your lesson plan, be sure to add your assessment of both the instructional content and the technology component. • Be sure to include the technology resources you use in your lesson plan.
