Communication Expectations (Poor) To: Katie (xjia@indiana.edu)From: xxxxxx@yahoo.comSubject: (no subject) Ok u said u had a copy of the digital story just not finalized and u said u would give me half credit for that...u never said u would give me half credit if I gave u my finalized one...u understood because my computer that had the finalized copy crashed and I have since replaced it...there was no way for me to send u another copy without doing it over so I assumed u were going to keep true go ur word and give me half credit for the copy u received...and I know u have copy because I emailed it to you around the time they were do Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
Communication Expectations (Good) To: xxx (xxx@xxx)From: janedoe@indiana.eduSubject: Question Regarding Digital Story - 12477– Jane Doe Dear Mr/Mrs xxx, After our discussion on Tuesday, I went back to my room and could not remember how to finalize my digital story and upload it to YouTube. I looked over the W200 website and check your emails sent through OnCourse, but I still couldn’t figure out how to do this. Can you send me a link to a tutorial? Also, can we meet to discuss my digital story topic? I have class during your office hours. Thank you! Sincerely, Jane Doe (janedoe@indiana.edu) Lecture Section 12480

What is Technology Integration? • Recall from your K-12 experience. Please think about one example where your teacher used technology. • Do you think this is good technology use? Give some examples…
Technology integration examples • Harrison Central High School: A Commitment to High Tech(8:55) – High School Example • Tech Fueled Differentiated Instruction – Elementary Example • While watching think about the questions below: • What technology tools do the teacher in the video use? • How are technology being used by teachers in the video? • Why would teachers want to use technology?
Unit #1 – Why Technology? SHIFT: What’s all the fuss about?[Or, why are we here?]
Theme #1: Shift Happens • How has this change impacted the world? • Shift Happens • Write down three takeaways… Think about how this might impact your role as a future teacher. These will be used in the next activity!!! • Discussion: • What part of the video impressed you most? What does it mean for us as teachers and for our students? • Think about your major (e.g., elementary education, secondary science), how might the digital word affect/influent your teaching?
Theme #2: shiftand students • It’s not your parents’ classroom anymore… • And it will not be the same one that you were in, either • So, who will your students be? • We care about technology in this class, but whose technology? • Mine? Yours? Your teachers? Your students? • Consider who your students are (not what you are used to), and go from there? • Vision for technology in K-12 Education
Theme #2: shift and students • There are many ways to think about who your students are in light of the digital SHIFT • One way is “Digital Natives” or “Digital Immigrants” • Digital natives • Native speakers of the digital language of computers, video games, and the Internet. THEY’VE NEVER KNOWN IT ANY OTHER WAY. • Digital immigrants • Those not born into the digital world, but have, at some point in their lives, become fascinated by and adopted many or most aspects of the new technology • Other ways?
Theme #2: shiftand students Think-Pair Share (3 Minutes): • How are your future students different from you as a student? • Try to be specific… • How might it impact your responsibilities as a teacher? • Again, think of specific impacts or situations
Theme #3: shift and standards • As a teacher, you need to ensure that all of your students meet all the necessary standards • All students are expected (in Indiana) to meet certain standards of technology skills (NETS-S) by the end of 8th grade • Teachers are expected to meet certain standards, too! (more in Week 3 on that topic) • Administrators are looking for teachers who are excellent at navigating all of this SHIFT • STANDARD • Something considered by an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison; an approved model • A rule or principle that is used as a basis for judgment • An average or normal requirement, quality, quantity, level, grade, etc
Theme #3: shift and standards • Academic standards also can affect our use of technology and adapting to all of this SHIFT • Indiana Academic Standards • Technology may help us meet many, many standards more efficiently or demonstrate better how our students meet these standards • Also, you must find ways to document that your students are meeting standards, sometimes in the most efficient way • Technological tools can help • We will be looking at some of these this semester along the way
Theme #3: shift and standards • An example: 3rd grade science • 3.2.6 Make sketches and write descriptions to aid in explaining procedures or ideas 3rd grade 2nd “set” – “Scientific Thinking” 6th standard in category
Theme #3: shift and standards • ULA Demonstration: • The Indiana Academic Standards on the Indiana Learning Connection • Indiana Academic Standards & Common Core State Standards • How to search for standards
Things to Know About W200 • This is not a computer skills course • Technology doesn’t always work • What would you do as a teacher? • Help you make good technology integration decisions
Theme #4: Shift… Or else • The fact is, SHIFT or not, we do not have much of a choice • Schools, administrators, parents, students, etc expect us to adapt • Sometimes, it is the law • If we do not adapt, others will (and we risk becoming irrelevant) • Ex. New Tech High School – Project-Based Learning and Technology… • New Tech High – All over Indiana! (Watch until 4:41)
Theme #4: Shift… Or else Think-Pair Share (3 Minutes): • If technology is making waves in Indiana and Mississippi, could you teach in a New Tech school? • In the next 31-34 years (until you retire), what is going to happen in schools? How are you going to keep up with the SHIFTs that we have addressed?
Summary • In the weeks ahead, we will expand on each of these themes • As technology (and the world around us) changes, we as teachers must adapt – not give in, not ignore, but adapt and make good decisions • This course is about navigating all of this SHIFT and making good decisions as teachers • And to learn that there are tech tools that can make our classrooms better and lives easier – but that is your decision to make
summary • This course is divided into three units: • Unit 1: Focuses on the SHIFTs and expectations we as teachers must navigate • Unit 2: Looks at how technology can best facilitate learning, depending on the task students are doing • Unit 3: Looks at how technology can or should impact our jobs as teachers as professions
