The Classroom in Action
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 14
Integrating Technology into the Curriculum Technology can motivate students and increase
class attendance Technology must be integrated into the curriculum
Identify goals Develop innovative ways to teach a diverse
population of learners with different learning styles
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 15
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 16
Technology is a tool that allows a teacher to be a facilitator of learning and creates valuable
learning experiences for many different types of learners.
Changing Instructional Strategies
Teachers are shifting from being the dispenser of knowledge to being the facilitator of learning Students can accomplish learning with the
teachers’ assistance Learning is not just storage of knowledge, but
includes problem solving
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 17
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 18
Barriers to Technology Integration
Lack of teacher training Security constraints Lack of administration support Limited time for teacher planning Placement of computers in remote locations Budget constraints Lack of high-speed school networks Basic resistance to change
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 19
Technology Integration and the Learning Process The Learning Process
Authentic learning Instructional
activities that demonstrate real-life connections by associating the concept being taught with a real-life experience or event
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 20
Technology Integration and the Learning Process The Learning Process
Participatory learning Students become engaged in inquiring,
investigating, reflecting, solving problems, and formulating and answering questions
Anchored instruction Providing a knowledge base on which students can
build
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 21
Technology Integration and the Learning Process The Learning Process
Problem-based instruction Students use the background (anchor) information to
solve complex problems Discovery learning
Inquiry-based method for teaching and learning
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 22
Technology Integration and the Learning Process Technology and the Learning
Process Numerous technology tools to
support many types of instruction and learning Example - Primal 3D or A.D.A.M. Allows students to build cognitive
scaffold Encourages students to think in
colors, sounds, and animations
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 23
Technology Integration and the Learning Process Technology and the Learning Process
Numerous technology tools to support many types of instruction and learning The Web
Educational equalizer Allows children to experience new educational
opportunities Interaction with others outside of the school

Technology Integration and the Learning Process Technology and the Learning Process
Numerous technology tools to support many types of instruction and learning Cooperative learning
Students work in groups to achieve learning objectives Higher-order thinking skills
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 26
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 27
Strategies for Teaching with Technology Best strategy is to put the technology in the hands
of trained teachers Provide consistent application of technology tools
to support instructional curriculum area Careful planning
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 28
The Role of the School District
Technology plan Outline of procedure for purchasing and
maintaining equipment and software Training Plans often updated every three to five years
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 29
The Role of the School District
Mentorship program Teaming new teachers with experienced teachers
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 30
Planning for Technology Integration in the Classroom Decide on most
appropriate technology to achieve desired learner outcomes
Preparing the classroom environment
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 31
Planning for Technology Integration in the Classroom One-Computer Classroom
Maximize effectiveness of one computer Record keeping Projection screens Interactive whiteboard Used to introduce topics before taking students to
a computer lab
Chapter 6: Technology, Digital Media, and Curriculum Integration 32
Planning for Technology Integration in the Classroom Two-Computer Classroom
Develop a strategy to manage both computers Many questions determine strategy
Will both computers have the same hardware, software, and network access?
Will one or both computers be connected to the Web? Will students rotate through using one or both computers on a
daily basis? How much time will each student be allowed on each
computer? Is it better to have the students work together on projects? How are you going to observe your students using the
Internet? How will you evaluate student learning?
