"Knowing content" is not sufficient in itself --
rather, students must apply
knowledge to:
• construct new understandings,
• solve problems
• make decisions
• develop products and
• communicate
Technology can facilitate this type of learning
Our Vision
Students will use technology seamlessly as a regular part of their educationEach student will come to class with their own computing deviceAll of the computing devices will be interconnectedTeachers and Students will have the skills necessary to appropriately use the Hardware and Software
Our Reality
Labs within our rooms - 2-3 students per computer
CFF Cohort 2 School - 1 to 1 in my classroom
Students arrive with intuitiveness, but not the specific skills to use the technology - We need to teach the skills first or in conjunction with the curriculumStudents may or may not have access to the internet and other software at home
Pedagogical Foundations
Curriculum must drive the need for technology integration
Technology is simply the tool used to facilitate student-centered learningTechnology makes it easier to accomplish
