2. Welcome Back! • Today’s Agenda: • Check in • Blog review from last week • Adding Images & Widgets/Gadgets • Layouts, Settings, Stats • Introduction & Chapter 1 Discussion • Stages of Technology Integration • Break • Web Presence Examples and work time • Web 2.0 Cool Tools: BibMe & ShutterCal

3. Check In/Blog Review • Checking in: how are things? Anything Nicole needs to know? Pace? “Class Norms” cleaned up! • Candidates will create a blog and post six substantive reflections based on class discussions and topics. Reflective postings should be a minimum of 100 words and contain rationale information related to the topic being discussed. Candidates are encouraged to comment on classmates’ reflections. • Blog Review: • Two blog posts to date: “welcome” & “research” • Make sure your blog URLis linked to our wiki • Adding pictures/files/widgets/layouts/templates • Work on your blog, visit the blogs of classmates. Make comments! Ask questions!

4. Text Discussion: Introduction • Anything stand out?

5. Text Discussion: Introduction Nicole’s notes: • Mentions Horizon Report & Pew Research (2009 & 2007) • Page 4, paragraph 1: which is the greatest challenge? • Certain requirements in terms of security and bandwidth must be in place. • Sufficient funding for initial equipment purchase and ongoing upkeep is needed. • Students must have equitable web access. • Teachers must get professional development so that they are comfortable with the toolsintegrating Web 2.0 • Page 9, paragraph 1 under “things to watch out for” Clearly, today’s students live in a world of interactivity and connectedness. They use tools to interact with information and others and to connect the dots of multiple ideas until relationships are clear. So schools must provide the same opportunities as students have outside to engage them and to individualize learning or risk apathy. Anyone used to interacting with objects and others to get information on a daily basis cannot learn by sitting still and listening to someone at the front to the room spout facts

6. Text Discussion: Chapter 1 • http://popplet.com/app/#/1001473 The Eight C’s: communication, collaboration, connectedness, communities of learners, convergence, contextualization, cloud computing, cost free Log in to Popplet. Add any technologies you can think of that fit each category. Technologies may fit in more than one area so be sure to add them anywhere appropriate.

8. Stages ofTechnology Integration • Stages of Technology Integration for Educators: Apple • SAMR Model of Technology Integration in the Classroom • Technology Integration Matrix

9. Stages of Technology Integration Background: 1980’s- Apple Computers study of classroom teachers (funded by National Science Foundation). Put computers in classrooms…see what happens. • “State of the Art” computers given to volunteers. Minimum training provided with teachers asked to keep journals. • Variations: each student and the teacher receiving classroom computers, same, but each student and teacher also got computers for home, laptops for teachers and students • More on the study here: http://www.apple.com/nl/images/pdf/acotlibrary/rpt7.pdf

10. Stage 1: Entry Developmental stages the teachers went through… • Aware of technology but doesn’t get involved with it • Don’t buy into the “technology can improve my teaching” mindset • Leave technology teaching to the technology teacher • They don’t trust technology • Not interested in attending technology training

11. Stage 2: Adoption Developmental stages the teachers went through… • Adopts one or two tools that make sense to them • Usually personal productivity tools • These tools are productive but don’t make it into teaching and learning • Teachers in this stage still see technology as something taught by someone else • Computers stay on teachers desk • Reluctance to let students use computers since they couldn’t help troubleshoot

12. Stage 3: Adaptation Developmental stages the teachers went through… • Teacher begins to buy into technology and tries some technology with students • Usually begins with word processing documents- all students doing one thing • Technology is added into existing lesson, doesn’t take the place of anything (students write their assignment on paper in class then go to the lab to type it out) • Slow going, frustrating stage. Many teachers go back to adoption stage and end up back and forth between the two stages

13. Stage 4: Appropriation Developmental stages the teachers went through… • Teacher’s technology confidence is high • Because of this technology is embedded everywhere, in all lessons • (the stage of “excess”) • This teacher often wants every piece of technology in the building that is available to them to be in their classroom (but many times these technologies are being used on a regular basis) • This teacher often will begin to seek out opportunities to bring in technology for their classroom use only (grants)

14. Stage 5: Innovation Developmental stages the teachers went through… • Teacher has become more selective in technology choices and use • The focus is finding what technology works in the curriculum • Technology becomes one of many tools, not the only tool used • Students have choice (for example with presentations) to use technology or not to • Teacher can no longer be dazzled with flying words or fancy music

15. Tips to Foster Growth Through Stages • For Entry level teachers look for a hook: is there a tool that can make a task easier for them? Is a colleague they admire in a higher stage? Don’t look to make the Entry level teacher an instant Innovator- look to get them open to technology (even if the tool is not used with students or in curriculum) • Provide exposure to teachers at the next stage- sharing • Model technology use yourself! • Recognize you, too may move back to Entry level with a new tool. Take time to learn and play before you expose the tool to students • Create a climate where you are a learner and students and colleagues see that

16. Technology Integration Matrix • Developed by the Florida Center for Instructional Technology at the University of South Florida College of Education. Funded with grants by Florida’s Dept. of Education Matrix contains: • Characteristics of the Learning Environment • Levels of Technology Integration into the Curriculum • http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/ • (http://mytechmatrix.org) • Arizona’s tech matrix http://www.azk12.org/tim/

17. Break!

18. SAMR Model • Dr. Ruben Puentedura • 4 part model to demonstrate stagesof technology use • Flowchart http://ictevangelist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/SAMR-flow-chart.png

19. SAMR Model 1. Substitution: technology acts as a direct tool substitute with no functional change. 2. Augmentation: technology acts as a direct tool substitute with functional improvement. 3. Modification: technology allows for significant task redesign 4. Redefinition: technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously not possible.

26. Web Presence Assignment This site will be used throughout the course as a way of representing yourself as a professional by presenting your beliefs about teaching and materials that you create for the classroom, as well as a way to introduce yourself professionally. It will serve as a repository for the work that you do in this course Components: • Welcome Statement • Contact Page • Link to Blog • Educational Philosophy • 20 web links • Professional Library • Course Work • Etc.

31. Homework • Website: welcome page, contact information, link to blog • Reflective Post #3: Stages. Look back at the PowerPoint from tonight's class. Read through the Stages of Technology Integration slides mentioned in the ACOT study. Which stage are you at now (personally or professionally)? Is there one stage that you found to be particularly easy and/or difficult? Do you agree with the stages as they are listed, or is something missing? Do you know of an instance with a colleague that easily fit in one of the listed stages? • Chapter #8 • http://edudemic.com/2013/02/how-to-create-an-effective-classroom-website/ (for your information)
