1. Stages of Technology Integration

2. Four Common Questions
What is technology integration and what isnt it?
Where does technology integration happen?
What are the barriers to technology integration?
What are the stages of technology integration?
3. Technology integration is not:
Taking students to the computer lab once a week for 40 minutes
Using the computer as an electronic worksheet
Using the computer as a reward station for students who are finished with their other assignments
4. Technology integration is:
Part of the daily activities taking place in the classroom
Supporting and extending curriculum objectives in aseamless manner
Engaging students in meaningful learning
Enabling students to demonstrate what they have learned in new and creative ways
5. Traditional vs. Integrated
Teacher-oriented
Single-sense stimulation
Single-path progression
Single media
Isolated work
Information delivery
Passive learning
Factual, knowledge-based learning
Reactive response
Isolated, artificial content
Student-centered
Multi-sensory stimulation
Multi-path progression
Multi-media
Collaborative work
Information exchange
Active/exploratory/inquiry-based learning
Critical thinking and informed decision-making
Proactive/planned action
Authentic/real-world context
6. Characteristics ofTechnology Enhanced Learning Environment
Active
Constructive
Collaborative
Intentional
Conversational
Contextualized
Reflexive
7. Barriers to technology integration:
Time
Training
Resources
Support
8. Time
To learn how to use both hardware and software
To plan lessons
To collaborate with other teachers
9. Training
Lack of local training options
Lack of time to attend training
10. Resources
Lack of computers in the classroom
Lack of appropriate software to support the curriculum
11. Support
Leadership
Financial support
On-site technology expert
12. 5Stages of technology integration:
Entry
Adoption
Adaptation
Appropriation
Invention
13. Entry Stage
Use primarily text-based materials
Traditional instruction
Teacher-directed activities
Problems encountered
Discipline
Resource management
Technical issues
14. Adoption Phase
Concern regarding integrating technology into lesson plan
Traditional methods still dominate instruction
Technology used to teach students how to use technology
Begin to perform basic trouble-shooting on equipment
15. Adaptation Stage
Integration of new technologies into traditional classroom occur
Learned to use computer to save time
Support issues
Flexible schedules
Introduce and discuss alternate pedagogies
Train staff to use software tools
Introduce videodiscs and scanners
16. Appropriation Stage
Personal attitudes toward technology change
Understand usefulness of technology
More interaction between students is observed
Evidence of project-based instruction, collaboration, cooperation and creative schedules
17. Invention Stage
Experiment with new instructional patterns and ways of relating to students
See knowledge as a construction process instead of a transfer process
Interdisciplinary project-based instruction, team teaching, and individually paced instruction
Students work together in collaborative ways
18. Teachers are being asked to change in two ways:
Adopt new teaching tools
Computer
Internet
Change the way they teach their students
The role they play in the classroom
The way classrooms are physically arranged
19. Educators Must:
Define expectations for technology integration
Create a common vision of technology integration
Recognize the barriers that will surface
Plan to address changes that will occur
20. Technology integration is a growth process
It takes time!
