  1. Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching Integrating Other Software Tools into Teaching & Learning 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  2. Types of Software Support Tools • Materials Generators • Data Collection and Analysis Tools • Graphics Tools • Planning and Organizing Tools • Research and Reference Tools • Tools to support specific content areas 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  3. Using Materials Generators Materials Generators help teachers produce instructional materials. • Examples • Desktop Publishing • Test Banks • Worksheets • Puzzles 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  4. Desktop Publishing Desktop Publishing (DTP) is like word processing, but it is easier to manage the layout of text and pictures on the page. Examples of Desktop Publishing Software PageMaker Quark XPress MS Publisher 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  5. Tips for using DTP • Select and use type faces (fonts) carefully • Use visual cueing (frames or boxes around text, bullets or arrows, shading behind text) • Use white spaces • Create and use graphics carefully http://www.free-graphics.com/ 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  6. Example of Classroom Applications • Letter head • Flyers and posters • Brochures • Newsletters and magazines • Books and booklets 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  7. Test Generators and Test Question Banks Features of Test Generators • Test creation procedures • Random generation of questions • Selection of questions based on criteria • Answer keys • On-screen testing and grading 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  8. Worksheet and Puzzle Generators Worksheet generators produce worksheets for practice rather than tests. http://school.discovery.com/teachingtools/worksheetgenerator/ Puzzle Generators automatically format and create crossword and word search puzzles http://www.puzzlemaker.com 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  9. Other Material Generators • Individual Educational Plan (IEP) Generators (Used to track the performance of students with disabilities) • Certificate & Form Makers (MS Infopath) • Groupware Products (Designed to promote cooperative learning among groups of students by helping them document their work as they progress) 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  10. Data Collection and Analysis Tools • Grade Books • Statistical Packages • Data Management These tools help teachers collect and organize numerical information that indicates student progress. Some examples are: 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  11. Grade Books Grade books allow teachers to enter student names, test/assignment names, data from tests and weighting information for specific tests scores. The program then analyzes the data and prints reports based on this information. 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  12. Statistical Packages • Specialized statistical packages can be used instead of spreadsheet packages to help teachers analyze: • Student performance on tests • Test questions • Research data (means, standard variation and T test) 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  13. Data Management • Three Data Management Tools: • Components of computer based learning systems (Integrated Learning systems) • Computerized testing systems (Computers facilitate on-screen testing and record keeping after instruction. It also generate test forms and process performance data.) • Test scoring and data analysis systems (Accept test data input either through the keyboard or by optically scanning bubble sheets. Tests are automatically scored and reports on results are generated.) 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  14. Graphic Tools Allow production of images and illustration of documents. • Print Graphics • Draw/Paint & Image Programs • Digitizing & Video Development Systems • Charting & Graphing • Clip Art, Video, & Sound Collections 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  15. Planning & Organization Help students conceptualize and communicate their ideas. Some examples are: • Brainstorming • Lesson Planning Tools • Schedule/Calendar Makers • Time Management Tools • Outlining Tools & Writing Aids 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  16. Research & Reference • Electronic Encyclopedias • Atlases • Dictionaries (World Atlases) 1. Journals Due 2. Assignment 2 due this week

  17. Content Specific Assist with activities associated with certain content areas. Some examples are: • Computer Aided Design • Music Editors & Synthesizers • Reading Tools • Microcomputer-based Labs • Graphing Calculators • Geographic Information Systems • Global Positioning Systems 1.
