LEARNING TARGETS:
• I can identify reasons to incorporate
technology into my classroom.
• I can create a list of technologies that will
be useful to my students.
• I can collaborate and organize my
individually chosen technologies into
“Purpose Categories”.
• I can develop a “Game Plan” for
implementation within my classroom.
Why incorporate
technology into my
classroom?
ANY GIVEN
PROBLEM
“We, as teachers, are preparing students for careers that
don’t exist and haven’t even been thought of yet.”
-Karl Fisch
As a result, students need to become;
1. intelligent problem solvers
2. responsible, socially aware citizens who are prepared to live
and succeed in the world.
It’s their future . . . if we aren’t
teaching it, we aren’t truly preparing
our students.
How is it really helping?
“I’m using PowerPoint, isn’t that enough?”
• Teacher Driven Technology
– Benefits: passive learners, quieter, easier
to maintain control, guide instruction
towards teacher chosen goals
– Negatives: passive learners, usually lacks
intrinsic motivation
• Student Driven Technology
– Benefits: built-in motivation,
collaboration, teaching by “pull” not
“push”, problem solving, access at home
– Negatives: noisier, requires more teacher
prep

What’s My Plan?
On the back of your paper,
identify 3 goals to begin
integrating more technology with
your students.
Remember- Think SMALL!
We are each more likely to attempt a goal if it
is reasonable. We all have busy lives, be
realistic.
Thanks for your time!
