• Technology-based tools are used to supplement the existing instructional program
• Technology is used as an extension activity, an enrichment exercises, or a technology-based tools
• Technology use reinforces lower cognitive skill development
Infusing TechnologyAccording to LoTI
• Emphasis is on higher order thinking and problem solving strategies linked to critical content
• Technology based tools (spreadsheets, Internet, publishing applications) compliment instruction
• Curriculum based, student centered, problem based learning supported by technology
Why Infuse?
Teacher Centered Instruction
Student Centered Learning
Constructivism
Single path progression
Multi-path progression
Student choice and initiative
Single media Multimedia Sound, video, interactivity
Isolated work Collaborative work Distributed learning
More Reasons to Infuse
Information delivery Information exchange
Global Communication
Passive learning Active learning Real world problems
Factual, literal thinking
Critical thinking, informed decision making
Situational practice
Reactive response Proactive, planned action
Student choice
Isolated, artificial context
Authentic, real context
Real data
LoTI Challenge
• Dr. Moersch challenged our school to reach Level 3 Infusion
• Three years ago majority of teachers were on levels 0,1,2 in LoTI (Exploration)
• Currently majority of teachers are functioning on levels 3,4(Infusion,Integration) in LoTI
Brandywine Springs School ChoosesINFUSION
• Directly supports curriculum• Directly supports constructivist
model of instruction• Directly supports higher level
thinking skills
Tech Time Infusion Model
• Tech Time Weekly Special• Teacher reinforces curriculum topics• Teacher utilizes Inspiration, United Streaming assignments,
blogging, IKeepbookmarks, Orchard software
• Teacher supports school initiatives such as the Stock Market Game, Accelerated Reader and Numbers Bee
TIC Time Collaboration Model
• Bi-monthly sessions• Technology specialist coaches and
collaborates with teachers• Topics support classroom
curriculum
Technology Hardware
• 2 Computer labs with 30 computers
• 2 Smart Boards in labs • 2 sets of 30 handheld computers• 2 laptops with LCD projectors• 4 digital cameras• 2 or 3 desktops per classroom
Real World Applications
• Topic- Excelling • GLE’s-• Organize and informally represent
categorical data• Interpret data by making
comparisons of categorical data• Objective- To gather, interpret data,
and represent data in various ways
Tools for the Task
• Technology Hardware- handheld computers, desktop
computers, printer• Technology Programs-Excel
Process
• Students gather data about their favorite character on the Axim using Excel
• Data is consolidated and students compare and discuss data
• Students use the desktops in the lab to transfer results into a column table
• Students use Chart Wizard to create graphic representations of their data
• Students discuss and compare graphs
Assessment
• Students applied what they learned and created a new data table during center time
• Student work was then assessed by the teacher
• Students demonstrated what they had learned in writing
Next steps
• Using student knowledge about data tables have students create a table in Word that will become a calendar page
Calendar Skills
• Topic-Calendar skills• Essential Question- How are measurement and
counting related?• Objective- to develop an understanding of time
on the calendar • Technology Hardware- handheld computers,
desktop computers• Technology Resources- Calendar resource on
handheld, Excel, Word• Other resources- Large model of calendar
page, differentiated word problem worksheets
Process
• Students create a calendar page from a table in Word
• Students utilize the calendar feature on the Axims
• Students develop understanding of determining dates and lapsed time
(yesterday, tomorrow, 4 days from now)
Assessment
• Differentiated skill sheets • Anecdotal records• Student created word problems
and solutions
Wondrous Words• Topic-Vocabulary Building Dictionary Skills, Math
terms, reading comprehension strategy of inferring
• GLE-• To identify, select and use multiple sources of
information (dictionary), • To use technology tools to enhance learning, use
traditional and electronic search tools• To see appropriate strategies to comprehend and
infer• Objective-To develop an understanding of
unknown words in text, to develop understanding of the dictionary and how to use the dictionary, and to apply dictionary skills to create a math dictionary to develop understanding of math terms
Tools For the Task

unknown words in reading text• Students transfer words onto online
form, add images, and determine meaning
• Students return to text and determine meaningfulness of definition
Process Continued
• Students transfer understanding of dictionary skills to create a classroom
dictionary of math terms• Students choose a math term, define
it, create a picture representing it on a Power Point slide
• Class wide Power Point will be copied into a book for students
Wondrous Words Form
