You are the new innovators! • 88% of educators considered technology essential to teaching and learning • 95% believe that technology improves student learning • 32% of educators actually use technology to instruct students
What I’m Against • The idea that we can only focus on test preparation • The idea that textbooks can only determine what kids need to learn and how to learn it • That kids can’t be allowed more responsibility • That we can just turn them loose without teaching them
Today’s Technologies • Word, Excel, PPT • Internet • Community Clips • Windows Movie Maker • Pbwiki • LodeStar
5 Paths to Innovation • Advocate for what students really need to learn • Understand the instructional capabilities of the tools the students are drawn to • Focus on important outcomes • Differentiate and individualize • Leverage the power of collaboration
