  14. Langwitches Blog: http://langwitches.org/blog/2009/06/17/never-was-about-technology-time-to-focus-on-learning/ While I was completing my Masters Degree in Instructional Technology, I was convinced that by helping teachers integrate technology into their lessons (doing the same thing…just with technology) would make the difference.

  15. As a Technology Integration Facilitator … I was convinced that by co-teaching with classroom teachers, we would give students the opportunity to work with different media to extract/ share information and express themselves while not adding to the teacher work load of doing “one more thing”. We used technology tools to engage students and activate THEIR way of thinking and learning while teaching the CURRENT curriculum and that would make the difference. http://langwitches.org/blog/2009/06/17/never-was-about-technology-time-to-focus-on-learning/

  16. It Never Was About the Technology http://langwitches.org/blog/2009/06/17/never-was-about-technology-time-to-focus-on-learning/ Now, I have arrived at a point in the process where I believe that it is not (never was) about technology. To make a difference, it has always been about good teaching, reflecting and focusing on (relevant?) student learning.

  17. Technology Carousel • Think about the ways students work and the types of activities you include in your lessons. • How can technology add value to or make the work easier for the following learning tasks? • Communication • Collaboration • Gathering Information • Organization of Information • Expression
