ISTE CONFERENCE PHILADELPHIA JUNE 26, 2011
EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION IN THE DIGITAL CLASSROOM • MIMIO INTERACTIVE TEACHING TECHNOLOGIES
Mimio and Headsprout • Leader in instructional content business • Recent acquisition • Dr. Joe Lang - senior scientist at Headsprout
WHAT DOES QUALITY INSTRUCTION REALLY MEAN? • Review our approaches on technology • Film projectors>slide projectors>LCD projector>overhead projector>Smartboards>interactive white boards>INTERACTIVE CLASSROOM ITSELF
INTERACTIVE CLASSROOMS • No longer interactive displays but interactive classrooms • Wrist displays are now new • Sheet of plastic with books on them • 3-D projectors
Question: is interactivity enough? Is it going to be enough to simply make 3-D environments? • What we need to look at is what does it take to produce real outcomes aligned with our standards? • How will these technologies help us meet these core standards?
Designing a quality framework for world clas teaching and learning within the new pedagogical landscape? • Over 400 studies on ways to teach concepts and to find what a concept is • “beauty without utility is an ornamental lump” Duke Ellington
Schema • How many really get into Blooms’s higher levels or evaluation and synthesis? • Content analysis>Instructional objectives>criterion tests>instructional sequence>entry repertoire>performance data • Do we want to teach concepts, principles, strategies?
What are criterion evaluations? • How are we going to evaluate how we apply the strategies before we design our instruction? • We have to teach what comes into the room: so, what does it take to teach this lesson?
Improved learning in a large enrollment physics class • By Deslauriers, Schelew, Wieman (May 3, 2011, Vol. 332, 5 Science • Found more learning in the interactive engagement
What’s Important • Analyzing>From searching for activities to teaching concepts • Inquiry>Animate the critical features for visual learning • Comprehending>Use Smartboard to have students drag the information into the right boxes
Actual Lessons • Drag and drop lessons • Nothing new here; this is what we have been doing with our Smartboards: drag and dropping, taking surveys, evaluating quickly with clicker element • Still nothing new
