Welcome Back!O Today’s Agenda:

• Check in• Blog review from last week

• Adding Images & Widgets/Gadgets• Layouts, Settings, Stats

• Introduction & Chapter 1 Discussion• Stages of Technology Integration• Break• Web Presence Examples and work time• Web 2.0 Cool Tools: BibMe & ShutterCal

Check In/Blog ReviewO Checking in: how are things? Anything Nicole needs to

know? Pace? “Class Norms” cleaned up!

O Candidates will create a blog and post six substantive reflections based on class discussions and topics. Reflective postings should be a minimum of 100 words and contain rationale information related to the topic being discussed. Candidates are encouraged to comment on classmates’ reflections.

O Blog Review:

• Two blog posts to date: “welcome” & “research”• Make sure your blog URL is linked to our wiki• Adding pictures/files/widgets/layouts/templates• Work on your blog, visit the blogs of classmates. Make

comments! Ask questions!

Text Discussion: Introduction

O Anything stand out?

Text Discussion: IntroductionNicole’s notes:

O Mentions Horizon Report & Pew Research (2009 & 2007)

O Page 4, paragraph 1: which is the greatest challenge?O Certain requirements in terms of security and bandwidth must be in place. O Sufficient funding for initial equipment purchase and ongoing upkeep is

needed.O Students must have equitable web access.O Teachers must get professional development so that they are comfortable with

the tools integrating Web 2.0

O Page 9, paragraph 1 under “things to watch out for”Clearly, today’s students live in a world of interactivity and connectedness. They use tools to interact with information and others and to connect the dots of multiple ideas until relationships are clear. So schools must provide the same opportunities as students have outside to engage them and to individualize learning or risk apathy. Anyone used to interacting with objects and others to get information on a daily basis cannot learn by sitting still and listening to someone at the front to the room spout facts

Text Discussion: Chapter 1

O http://popplet.com/app/#/1001473The Eight C’s: communication, collaboration, connectedness, communities of

learners, convergence, contextualization, cloud computing, cost free

Log in to Popplet. Add any technologies you can think of that fit each category. Technologies may fit in more than one area so be sure to add them anywhere appropriate.

Stages ofTechnology Integration

O Stages of Technology Integration for Educators: Apple

O SAMR Model of Technology Integration in the Classroom

O Technology Integration Matrix

Stages of Technology Integration

Background: 1980’s- Apple Computers study of classroom teachers (funded by National Science Foundation). Put computers in classrooms…see what happens.

O “State of the Art” computers given to volunteers. Minimum training provided with teachers asked to keep journals.

O Variations: each student and the teacher receiving classroom computers, same, but each student and teacher also got computers for home, laptops for teachers and students

O More on the study here: http://www.apple.com/nl/images/pdf/acotlibrary/rpt7.pdf

Stage 1: EntryDevelopmental stages the teachers went through…

O Aware of technology but doesn’t get involved with it

O Don’t buy into the “technology can improve my teaching” mindset

O Leave technology teaching to the technology teacher

O They don’t trust technologyO Not interested in attending technology training

Stage 2: AdoptionDevelopmental stages the teachers went through…

O Adopts one or two tools that make sense to themO Usually personal productivity toolsO These tools are productive but don’t make it into teaching

and learningO Teachers in this stage still see technology as something

taught by someone elseO Computers stay on teachers deskO Reluctance to let students use computers since they

couldn’t help troubleshoot

Stage 3: AdaptationDevelopmental stages the teachers went through…

O Teacher begins to buy into technology and tries some technology with students

O Usually begins with word processing documents- all students doing one thing

O Technology is added into existing lesson, doesn’t take the place of anything (students write their assignment on paper in class then go to the lab to type it out)

O Slow going, frustrating stage. Many teachers go back to adoption stage and end up back and forth between the two stages

Stage 4: AppropriationDevelopmental stages the teachers went through…

O Teacher’s technology confidence is highO Because of this technology is embedded

everywhere, in all lessonsO (the stage of “excess”)O This teacher often wants every piece of technology

in the building that is available to them to be in their classroom (but many times these technologies are being used on a regular basis)

O This teacher often will begin to seek out opportunities to bring in technology for their classroom use only (grants)

Stage 5: InnovationDevelopmental stages the teachers went through…

O Teacher has become more selective in technology choices and use

O The focus is finding what technology works in the curriculum

O Technology becomes one of many tools, not the only tool used

O Students have choice (for example with presentations) to use technology or not to

O Teacher can no longer be dazzled with flying words or fancy music

Tips to Foster Growth Through Stages

O For Entry level teachers look for a hook: is there a tool that can make a task easier for them? Is a colleague they admire in a higher stage? Don’t look to make the Entry level teacher an instant Innovator- look to get them open to technology (even if the tool is not used with students or in curriculum)

O Provide exposure to teachers at the next stage- sharing

O Model technology use yourself!

O Recognize you, too may move back to Entry level with a new tool. Take time to learn and play before you expose the tool to students

O Create a climate where you are a learner and students and colleagues see that

Technology Integration Matrix

O Developed by the Florida Center for Instructional Technology at the University of South Florida College of Education. Funded with grants by Florida’s Dept. of Education

Matrix contains:O Characteristics of the Learning EnvironmentO Levels of Technology Integration into the

Curriculum

SAMR ModelO Dr. Ruben Puentedura

O 4 part model to demonstrate stages of technology use

O Flowchart http://ictevangelist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/SAMR-flow-chart.png

SAMR Model

1. Substitution: technology acts as a direct tool substitute with no functional change.2. Augmentation: technology acts as a direct tool substitute with functional improvement.3. Modification: technology allows for significant task redesign4. Redefinition: technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously not possible.

O Reflective Post #3: Stages. Look back at the PowerPoint from tonight's class. Read through the Stages of Technology Integration slides mentioned in the ACOT study. Which stage are you at now (personally or professionally)? Is there one stage that you found to be particularly easy and/or difficult? Do you agree with the stages as they are listed, or is something missing? Do you know of an instance with a colleague that easily fit in one of the listed stages?
