Enhancing Teaching with Technology: Getting Results

Welcome to "Getting Results," a National Science Foundation project aimed at impacting teaching and learning in ATE and STEM programs. In Module 5, "Teaching with Technology," learn how to choose and implement appropriate technologies to enhance student learning. Watch videos and explore strategies for using technology as a teaching tool, making internet connections, visualizing concepts, and learning online. Look back on the importance of selecting technologies based on learning goals and providing maximum access for students.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Welcome • Welcome to “Getting Results” • A National Science Foundation project developed by WGBH with the League for Innovation and 13 community colleges from across the U.S.

  2. Getting Acquainted Working with a partner: • Introduce yourself to a colleague. • Describe the courses you teach.

  3. “Getting Results” Goals • To impact teaching and learning in ATE and STEM programs • To impact teaching and learning in community colleges

  4. Module 5 Teaching with Technology

  5. Module 5 Intended Outcome • As a result of this learning experience, you should be able to choose and implement appropriate technologies for enhancing your students’ learning.

  6. “Teaching with Technology” • Why did this instructor integrate robotics technology into his mathematics class? • What is the potential effect on student learning? Watch the video: http://www.league.org/gettingresults/web/module5/introduction/module_overview_video.html

  7. Technology as a Teaching Tool • Technology can be a great addition to the classroom. It is most successful when used to improve student learning and help students reach their goals.

  8. Technology as a Teaching Tool Technology can be used to: • Enhance the presentation of a concept • Stimulate learner participation • Enable self-instruction

  9. Technology as a Teaching Tool Technology can be used to: • Extend information access • Bring the world into the classroom • Help in administrative tasks

  10. “Using a Range of Technologies” • How has the instructor put technological tools in students’ hands? • What is the value of relating animal tracking devices to GPS, a compass, a PDA, and paper and pencil? Watch the video: http://www.league.org/gettingresults/web/module5/selecting/using_a_range_video.html

  11. Presentation Aids The following are some technologies commonly available at community colleges for aiding instruction in a wide range of subjects:

  12. Presentation Aids • Overhead projectors and PowerPoint • Slides and transparencies • E-mail, bulletin boards, instant messaging

  13. Presentation Aids • Web course management software like WebCT or Blackboard • Video and/or audio presentations

  14. Tips for Success • Establish guidelines • Encourage student interaction • Vary technology • Practice

  15. Tips for Success • Have a backup plan • Provide access • Avoid overuse

  16. “Making Internet Connections” Watch the video: http://www.league.org/gettingresults/web/module5/ strategies/internet_video.html • How does this teacher use the Web to expose students to the idea of an online community, both in the classroom and in the larger scientific community?

  17. “Visualizing Concepts Through Technology” Watch the video: http://www.league.org/gettingresults/web/module5/strategies/concepts_video.html • How does the instructor make students responsible for equipment? • How does the classroom experience relate to what they will see on the computer during a site visit?

  18. “Learning Online” Watch the video: http://www.league.org/gettingresults/web/module5/strategies/online_video.html • What kind of learner do you think would benefit from online learning? • What would an instructor need to successfully implement an online course?

  19. Introducing Online Learning As a community college teacher, you may be approached to teach an online course. The following activity describes how you might adapt parts of a lesson within a course you currently teach to an online environment http://www.league.org/gettingresults/web/module5/strategies/online_learning.html

  20. Looking Back When thinking about teaching with technology: • You need to select technologies based on the course outcomes and learning goals. • You need to establish guidelines, vary the technologies, and provide time and resources that allow students maximum access.

  21. Looking Back When thinking about teaching with technology: • Finally, you should try new technologies for delivering content and add technology education to your curriculum.
