The SCALE-UP classroom is one example of these dramatic shifts. Incorporating the right technology into SCALE-UP classwork facilitates the learning process, enabling independent research, audio and video presentations, interactive activities, class-wide sharing, and more.
For example, at many post-secondary institutions, a teaching space is considered to be a Smart Classroom if it merely comes equipped with nothing more than a microphone, computer, video projector. One drawback to LMS platforms is that they are not uniform in the level of technologicalsupport that they provide to users.
After all, artificial intelligence already powers many of the most popular software solutions on the market, and it is present in other examples of everyday technology. Examples of AI in Everyday Technology. Provide Vital TechnologicalSupport to Teachers.
Esports Equipment Can Support Other School Initiatives. In competitive gaming, milliseconds matter , and the technologysupporting students can make or break an esports venture. For example, schools looking to bring VR equipment into the classroom often try to ensure the machines will also support an esports program.
For example, if we taught students the elements of the periodic table, gave them a multiple-choice test afterward, and then moved on to another topic, that would be surface-level learning. Fortunately, technology tools can provide support for each stage. Technology-Supported Surface-Level Learning.
Designs innovative approaches to learning and assessment, often taking into account a social, collaborative view of learning and using technology creatively. Research questions often start from foundational theories, for example, about how the brain works.
Those are examples of the broader promise and end results. Essentially, the introduction of technology alone is not innovation. . Again, districts should not invest in technology for technology’s sake. Economically disadvantaged students get Wi-Fi access through backpacks. This also ties into the next hurdle. .
In addition to these general uses, PYP teachers should also use technology to aid the development of international mindedness, support inquiry learning and to help students to reach deeper understandings. How does technologysupport the development of international mindedness? How does technologysupport inquiry?
SHENINGER: We need to be open to ideas and we need to know where to go to find good examples of what works in the classroom. However, it’s important to note that a lot of change can happen with little to no budget to support it. How does the technology actually improve on what we’ve done in the past?
For example, in GlassLab’s Mars Generation One : Argubot Academy EDU, students must make decisions about building and governing a city on Mars. Supporting authentic, real-world learning. Technologysupports communication and collaboration via email, blogs, and digital apps, among other tools.
Understanding Assistive Technology Assistive technologies are software or hardware systems with technical components that enhance the learning capacities of students with disabilities. They aim to support students’ engagement and communication so they can understand lessons and adapt to their learning environments efficiently.
After all, there are a lot of reasons why a teacher might be reluctant to embrace edtech, and not all of these obstacles hinge on whether a teacher knows how to integrate technology in the classroom. Ballard understands that better than most.
When learning piano for example (apt for typing), you learn where to place your fingers, to keep your wrists raised to ensure easier movement rather than resting them on the desk, how to interpret what you read or hear and translate that into music. This isn’t equitable teaching; it is convenient teaching.
Policymakers in Tennessee and Texas, for example, have explicitly encouraged the use of technology in developmental education reform. What types of technology do institutions use in developmental education? Our interviewees described numerous examples of technology use in developmental education instruction and student support.
But unlike ISAs that set the repayment cap as a multiple on the amount borrowed (the University of Utah is set at 2X, for example), SFI pegs its cap to be lower than what a student would repay if he or she borrowed the same amount under a Parent PLUS loan. over a 10-year period (or $107.54 a month), at the current 5.3 percent interest rate.
Here are a few examples of different virtual touch points that districts are offering: Monthly virtual town halls provide an opportunity for guardians and families to bring forward any questions or concerns they have, share best practices and feel connected. Multi-channel communication.
help them understand how technologysupports the school’s mission and overarching curricula (such as Common Core or Everyday Math). Here are examples of the class flier: Click to view slideshow. Explain the best way to do this to protect their online privacy (for example: It should look nothing like themselves).
At those two levels, teachers are using technology in ways that allow students to create content for themselves, share that content with each other, explore subject matter, and communicate with one another in ways that aren’t possible in a more traditional environment. At this level, teachers are redesigning tasks via technology.
For example, instead of covering all of the Common Core reading standards for my fourth-grade class, we decided to focus on one standard: identifying key ideas and details in literature and informational text. It has hopefully also shown others that while technologysupports teaching, it doesn’t replace it.
In Utah, for example, an independent study determined that children showed positive gains when they used the program at home before starting kindergarten, even when they were compared to other children who were enrolled in high-quality public and private preschools. Parent-involved and technology-supported programs can deliver results.
“Under this bill, the information and knowledge our students need will be part of every grade level, which is appropriate when you consider the role that technology plays in our everyday lives.”
But that’s not what technology is about. Technologysupports a curriculum. The metric for measuring technology skills isn’t a rubric with a list of skills (i.e., Some great examples of this are digital note-taking, PDF annotation, and grammar tools. A great example of this is vocabulary.
Those are examples of the broader promise and end results. Essentially, the introduction of technology alone is not innovation. . Again, districts should not invest in technology for technology’s sake. Economically disadvantaged students get Wi-Fi access through backpacks. This also ties into the next hurdle. .

EdSurge: How is math instruction evolving, and how does technologysupport this? I’ve never experienced support like this before. For example, they added the feature that Free Math is accessible through Google accounts. The COVID-19 pandemic forced her to try something recommended by her student teacher.
Simple example – IU5 and the generator IU5 is a service agency. A complex example – Curtis and the “Not a Tornado” On August 10, 2023, at about 10:30 pm, the central part of Wichita Falls was hit by what is being labeled as a microburst. All relationships are important, but the ITS and Facilities relationship cannot be overstated.
DCPS School Mental Health providers currently use 13 targeted EBT interventions that focus on supporting children who have social and emotional needs. Douglas Gotel For example, we use child-centered play therapy intervention in our elementary schools where kids learn how to solve their problems and work through relational difficulties.
Strategy 1: Develop a technology lifecycle plan Technology purchases are often cyclical; we know that certain equipment must be replaced every 3-5 years. For example, in year one, network equipment is replaced; in year two, desktop computers are replaced; in year three, mobile devices are replaced; and so on.
For example, you could just look at a map and do some measurements, or you can get out there with a trusty surveyor’s wheel and chart a space and learn real applications. Ask a Tech Teacher contributor, James Lovelock, discusses this: Explicit typing, simulated application and practical application – Why is this not a thing?
So, for example, I know that 20% of the time, they’re surfing and on social media, while 10% of the time they’re actually playing online games. Mike Daugherty is a husband, father, author, technology director, Google Innovator, and possible Starbucks addict. It really gives you a breakdown. Bio as submitted.
Therefore, she said, she and her colleagues in the field should be thinking about how technology can “deliver training and coaching to teachers and … free teachers up to spend more time with children.”
Leah: Another way that I try to give students technology to showcase their science understanding is through like tools that help them to maybe build electronic books. Her main mission is to help support their development in science and science communication. Tools to build eBooks to demonstrate understanding. Twitter: @llacrosse.
So much of today’s educational technologysupports students in mastering new skills and standards, but few tools facilitate inquiry- or project-based learning. Consider the ways that technology can streamline these processes for teachers.
Using technology can improve some types of learning in some contexts. The report cites evidence showing that learning benefits disappear if technology is used in excess or in the absence of a qualified teacher.
In addition, the newsletter is traditionally made up of the latest and greatest in educational technology, supporting videos, and maybe a few templates created by the tech coach to show off what they can do in the classroom with teachers. In another example, the district might have Future Ready or Digital Learning goals.
One noteworthy example is science education, specifically anatomy. Of course, it’s important to strike a balance between technology and traditional teaching methods, ensuring that technologysupports educational goals rather than replacing human interaction and critical thinking.
For example in my science classroom we had our -ologies, chemistry terms and others that I needed to make sure my students understood. In this age of anytime access to technology and information kids need the other literacy skills too. Each content area has it’s own special language that kids need to understand.
But after talking to a number of different educators and reading their various accounts, what I can tell you is that your peers have discovered creative, technology-supported ways to approach teaching reading, writing and vocabulary in their multi-subject classrooms—and they were willing to share it to help you out.
If the technologysupports this, it meets the primary requirement. Can the tech support or provide a learning activity that can be classified within Bloom’s taxonomy? Take me for example. When assessing return, teachers look for the following: Will It Help Meet Learning Objectives?
Rugg says the included training, support and upgrades means districts save both time and money—and offer district leaders peace of mind. For example, to set up the system, we were going to have to add 1,600 student email accounts manually—and that was just for the high school," explains Rugg. And of course, factor in long term costs.
Teachers will need training on using this method of instruction to make it effective students will need to be shown how to access, use the technology and what is expected of them Students need to be able to do work outside of school hours do they have access to technology at home? do they have access to internet at home?
Success will come by ensuring teachers understand what different tools can do, highlighting best practices, sharing fun and relevant examples, and providing time for educators to play with and learn new tools.
One example of community partnership was the district’s connection to the Port Orford Public Library, which manages the school district’s library system. Students were able to come get technologicalsupport or a bit of face-to-face homework help. One class with over 20 students, for example, was moved into the library.
In this example, let’s say you choose spreadsheets that you will upload in G Suite. PRO TIP: Make it easy for students and parents to get the technologicalsupport they need 24/7. Including technology in your curriculum involves the district, the students AND their parents. You need to decide what system to track them in.
