Technology and Learning Technology has the capacity to bring learning endless results! “Technology improves student performance when the application directly supports the curriculum objectives being assessed.” -CARET Center For Applied Research in Educational Technology
Push vs. Pull media • Push media is the type we watch or listen to as it is “pushed” or delivered to us – examples: lectures, powerpoint presentations. • Pull Media is information we pull for ourselves – examples: internet searches, and this course!
Computers • Allow work to be done at home, schools or the library. • Have opened up a new world of information retrieval right at the fingertips.
PowerPoint • Help with student and teacher presentations • Aid in public speaking • Time saving! Can be used over & over again • Enhance the way students learn
Internet • Give full access to search engines and academic resources • On-line library makes education more accessible • Example: University of Arizona Library
Overhead Projectors • Gives ability to present information • Shows the entire class at once • Modern day white boards can function as wall sized computer monitors.
Possible Con’s with New Technology? • Lack of computer access or poor ability to utilize computer resources can be a problem. • Teaching younger children – how much access should they have? • Glitches! Power outages, lack of internet connectivity etc.. can stop the whole show!
