MIND MAPPING FOR INTEGRATION
WHAT DO STUDENTS EXPECT?
According to a 2005 report “Listening to Student Voices on Technology” today’s tech-savvy students are stuck in text dominated schools.
COMPUTERS BREAK THE GOLDEN RULE OF CONFORMITY
Traditionally schools have forced students to conform
Students sit in rows, use the same supplies, crayons, markers, text books, wear uniforms, recite in unison
THE KAISER REPORT (2009) TELLS US:
The use of mobile media by 8 – 18 yr. olds has more than tripled since 2005
69% of 11-14 yr. olds have cell phones; 85% of 15- 18 yr olds have cell phones and text daily
94% of households have computers
DURING A TYPICAL DAY:
57% of students access the internet from home
14% of students access the internet from mobile media or the library
Only 20% of students access the internet from school
WHAT DO STUDENTS EXPECT?
Technology is not an “extra”
Students consider computers and internet access as primarily communication tools for learning and social interaction
Students are sophisticated computer users who know the apps by the age of 8 and are navigating the internet easily
MOBILE THAT’S HOW WE ROLL
A 2006 report of the top 2500 U.S. schools told us:
52.1% would be of students would be mobile in 2011; in 2009 that number already is 78%
87% of schools offering one to one computing reported significant academic improvement, high attendance rates, fewer discipline problems and improved writing skills.
THE GENERATION OF CUSTOMIZATION
In Mrs. Cooke’s class within five minutes of sitting at his computer Jeff has done the following : Changed the desktop background picture
to his own artwork Changed the windows menus to reflect his
colors, font and style Changed the control panel and cursor to a
twirling sword
LIVE POLLING
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE CLASSROOM?
Will teachers differentiate to give each student what he or she needs to succeed?
Will our students customize their education to be interactive and meet their needs?
Will students be able to demonstrate their literacy skills in the context in which they live, think and learn?
WHAT IS EFFECTIVE CURRICULUM INTEGRATION?
The ability to use essential technology skills sufficiently well to engage in reading, writing, thinking and communicating ideas clearly.
Adapted from McKee & Ogle, 2005
HOW CAN WE BUILD EFFECTIVE INTEGRATION IN THE CLASSROOM?
Use mobile technology to support and demonstrate the goal of achieving literacy
Demonstrate a technology-rich life environment that supports learning responsibly
Create and influence an environment of positive discernment for all students
Model and influence good choices for technology use on the internet and in social media for students
MOVING INTO THE CLOUDS…
The use of cloud applications allows students to experience success through inquiry by:
Stimulating interest Utilizing context-based learning
Developing connections for critical thinking
MOVING INTO THE CLOUDS…
The abundance of applications hosted “in the Cloud” provide incredible tools for instruction.
The Wordle can be used by a range of grade levels to emphasize the importance of words in a topic sentence or paragraph.
The activity is open-ended because it invites learners to evaluate the impact of the vocabulary they have chosen and transformed.

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT WORDLE
Eleanor Roosevelt The Struggle for Human Rights delivered 28 September 1948, Paris,
France
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT WORDLE
I have come this evening to talk with you on one of the greatest issues of our time -- that is the preservation of human freedom. I have chosen to discuss it here in France, at the Sorbonne, because here in this soil the roots of human freedom have long ago struck deep and here they have been richly nourished. It was here the Declaration of the Rights of Man was proclaimed, and the great slogans of the French Revolution -- liberty, equality, fraternity -- fired the imagination of men. I have chosen to discuss this issue in Europe because this has been the scene of the greatest historic battles between freedom and tyranny. I have chosen to discuss it in the early days of the General Assembly because the issue of human liberty is decisive for the settlement of outstanding political differences and for the future of the United Nations.
The decisive importance of this issue was fully recognized by the founders of the United Nations at San Francisco. Concern for the preservation and promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms stands at the heart of the United Nations. Its Charter is distinguished by its preoccupation with the rights and welfare of individual men and women. The United Nations has made it clear that it intends to uphold human rights and to protect the dignity of the human personality. In the preamble to the Charter the keynote is set when it declares: "We the people of the United Nations determined...to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and...to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom." This reflects the basic premise of the Charter that the peace and security of mankind are dependent on mutual respect for the rights and freedoms of all.
