Literacy and Technology Integration in the Classroom Stephanie Ciaravolo Education 702.22 Spring 2010 Midterm Presentation
Table of Contents • Statement of the Problem Pg. 3 • Review of The Literature Pg. 4 • Hypothesis Pg. 11 • References Pg. 12
Statement of the Problem • Pre-service teachers are learning technological tools and concepts during their education. However, when it comes time to implement this knowledge there is a lack of ability of bringing this theory to reality. With an increase of proper use of technology in the classroom, perhaps student participation and active engagement will also increase.
Pros • “Pierson defined technology integration as teachers utilizing content and technological and pedagogical expertise effectively for the benefit of student’s learning.” Woodbridge, Techlearning.com
“Nicaise and Barnes compared technology to a tool that they used to promote a student centered, active learning environment”- Rachel Karchmer
Cons “Connecting media literacy to the state standards for subject areas is currently a major challenge of the media literacy movement” - Elizabeth Thoman “Teachers are not generally prepared to use these new technologies of literacies or to teach children how to use them effectively” - Rachel Karchmer
Theorists Howard Gardner
Verbal/Linguistic Logical/Mathematical Kinesthetic Visual/spatial Musical Interpersonal Intrapersonal Naturalistic 8 Multiple Intelligences
Current Practices: • Kid Pix • Book Adventures • Word Processing
Hypothesis I believe that with an increase of technology in the classroom, rates of student participation and active engagement will increase.
