  1. Curriculum Integration Linda Savastano, Director of Technology Vinnie Giuliano, Principal of J. H. Gaudet Middle School Steven Ruscito, Principal of Middletown High School Janice O’Donnell, Technology Integration Teacher Ron Dumais, Technology Integration Teacher Middletown Public Schools http://www.ri.net/middletown/techintegration.html Middletown Public Schools, Middletown RI May 2006

  2. When does Curriculum Integration occur? Integration occurs when the purpose of the learning activities is to focus the technology use on curriculum — discipline-specific, content-area curriculum — using technology as a tool to foster higher level outcomes. www.iste.org

  3. Why Did Middletown Integrate Curriculum? • Students need to be proficient in the use of technology • Correctly designed, more depth into the content-area curriculum is possible • In the information age, there is an intrinsic need to learn technology • Students are motivated by technology, thus increasing academic engagement time • While working in more depth with the content, students are able to move beyond knowledge and comprehension to application and analysis of information • Students learn where to find information in an information rich world • Computer skills should not be taught in isolation • Students develop computer literacy by applying various computer skills as part of the learning process

  4. Why was Curriculum Integration the right choice for Middletown? MIDDLETOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLSSTRATEGIC PLAN GOAL 1: STUDENT LEARNING By 2007, all Middletown students will be assured of the opportunity to achieve high educational standards. 1.1 Provide access for all students to technology which supports improved student learning and the development of appropriate technological skills.

  5. Why was Curriculum Integration the right choice for Middletown? MIDDLETOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS TECHNOLOGY PLAN • Driven by the curriculum standards and supports the educational mission and instructional goals of MIDDLETOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 • Specific attention is given to addressing student standards for technology as defined by the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) • As a part of the enrichment curriculum, these NETS are to be used as guidelines for providing instruction. The goal of the Technology Applications NETS is for students to gain technology-based knowledge and skills and to apply them to all curriculum areas at all grade levels.

  6. Why was Curriculum Integration the right choice for Middletown? MIDDLETOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS and NCLB Meeting the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Goals for Enhancing Education Through Technology • Primary Goal - The primary goal of this part is to improve student academic achievement through the use of technology in elementary schools and secondary schools. • Additional Goals - The additional goals of this part are the following: • To assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring that every student is technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student's race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location, or disability. • To encourage the effective integration of technology resources and systems with teacher training and curriculum development to establish research-based instructional methods that can be widely implemented as best practices by State educational agencies and local educational agencies.

  7. What does curriculum integration look like in Middletown Public Schools? • Technology Specialists support subject area teachers as they develop and implement tasks to integrate technology across the curriculum. • Teachers schedule time in the computer classroom and then walk their students through a hands-on approach to learning and applying technology and content area standards for class-related projects.

  8. Lab Signup Process Classroom teacher meets with technology teacher to brainstorm, design, and plan lesson. Teachers agree on application that best suits the project, discuss ways to implement DL, and work collaboratively on criteria sheets and rubrics. (Criteria Sheet) Classroom teachers provide curriculum content, and GLE or GSE being assessed. (e.g. Determining Density – PS1 INQ+POC -2) Crossover instruction becomes more and more apparent as both teachers learn from each other. A variety of applications are utilized as deemed appropriate for the predetermined outcome. (Power Point, Word, Excel, Paint Shop, etc…) Technology instruction becomes the responsibility of the technology teacher while the curriculum content is directed by the classroom teacher. (Excel directions)

  9. What does the role of the technology specialist look like in Middletown? • Ensure technology literacy through competency in all students by grade 8 • Provide professional development for all staff (one to one and large class) • Work collaboratively to develop common tasks, implement DL strategies, rubrics, and checklists. • Support of school and teacher web sites • Support of student information system, including scheduling, teacher grade submission and report cards • First level of support for all district systems including but not limited to AESOP, SchoolDUDE, MyLearningPlan,I-Plan/RICERT, Digital IEP Writer, Digital PLP Writer, Destiny, SchoolTIES, MPSRI web mail, Network accounts and storage, MPSRI SharePoint Portal, Microsoft Products,ePortfolio-RIEPS /PBGR.

  26. How does the K – 8 program help to prepare and support the PBGRs? • Helps to provide sufficient opportunities for students to learn and demonstrate that they have met the student requirements of the new Diploma System • Provides opportunity for a student to demonstrate proficiency in technology • Provides opportunity for a student to demonstrate knowledge of applied learning skills • Implements rigorous curricula, high quality instruction, and valid and reliable assessments of student performance • Provides educators with the support they need to enhance their teaching craft in the form of job-embedded professional development

  27. Questions • What hardware and software applications are available to you and your students? • What opportunities can you give your students to use technology in the curriculum? • What do you think of when you hear the words “technology integration”? • What steps can you take to integrate technology into your teaching environment? • What challenges do your foresee for your situation? • How can technology integration help to provide a better transition and support of the PBGRs in your district?

  28. We did not want to promote the use of technology in isolation, but rather for it to be an integral component or tool for learning and communications within the context of all subject areas.
