Tech Use vs. Tech Integration
- 2. They are Different!!! Learning occurs in natural environments as humans interact with environment and manipulate objects. The learner needs to be engaged in a meaningful task. --Meaningful Learning
- 3. Technology Use Technology use is when students use a form of technology that complements their learning, but they are not actively engaged with it. For example: the use of word processing and the overhead.
- 4. Technology Integration Technology integration, as defined by the National Forum on Education Statistics (2005), Forum Unified Education Technology Suite, "is the incorporation of technology resources and technology-based practices into the daily routines, work, and management of schools." Resources are computers and specialized software, network-based communication systems, and other equipment and infrastructure.
- 5. Technology Integration According to Diane Quirk, technology can be used for "information, images, interactions, and inquiry" Technology integration is when technology is incorporated into the daily routine. It is integrated into lessons to enhance student engagement and learning of a topic.
- 6. Technology Can Be Integrated By: Blogs: Students can interact with the teacher and peers by participating in ongoing discussions on certain topics. Students are engaged with academic content while also using technology. Other Forms of Integration: Wiki Interactive Whiteboards Podcasting YouTube Google Earth
- 7. Why is technology in the classroom important? The world is becoming increasingly based upon technology. As teachers, if we do not prepare out students with technology, we will not be providing them a valuable education.
- 8. Importance of Technology “ While nobody will ever dispute the importance of a good education, meeting the needs of today's students has changed dramatically from what it was 10 or 20 years ago. Students today are exposed to a vast amount of information and technology early in their lives. Computers, electronic mail, long-distance learning, and the internet have changed the dynamics of education here in our region and throughout world.” --Congressman Jerry Moran, 1999
