Revitalize Your Instruction with New Technology Jeremy Quilter EDUC 533: Josh Fischer July 6, 2010
Maybe they think you look like this. ↓ ↑ Or talk like this guy.
I bet we can make that happen! But you have to do a few things. You say you’ll do anything? Well, here’s the deal…
It’s time for a change. NO MORE USING THIS OLD TECHNOLOGY!
It’s time for the 21st Century! New technology is coming to the district. We will receive interactive whiteboards, ceiling-mounted projectors, document cameras, new computers, and DVD/VCR players. There will be three stages of installation and all users must be trained on the new equipment.
Now, you may be saying to yourself… “Why in the #&!! are we spending money on that crap?! I’ll never use it.” Or “OOOOO… I want that! Can I have that? Plleeeeeaaaaasssssse!!”
Here’s the deal… • The new technology has been purchased with bond money. • Research heavily supports technology in the classroom. • Training is after school and your time is compensated.
And the BIGGEST question… • Why not do something that will improve instructional strategies, engage students, and help children learn? • Come to the trainings. They will be worth it. Your instruction will improve and your students will be engaged.
