Transcript NWOET-WGTE Tech Tools 2011 Student

Welcome to the
NWOET / WGTE Tech Tools
Conference
Presenter: Amy Poland
Topic: Student Friendly Technology
LEARNING TARGET
• 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.”
-Unknown
As a result, students need to become;
1. intelligent problem solvers
and
2. responsible, socially aware citizens who are
prepared to live and succeed in the world.
It’s the 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

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.
