It feels like this sometimes…
Check-Up: Are you ready? Are your students ready?
• Can your students think critically?• Do your students know how to collaborate
academically and creatively?• Are your students outgoing and take initiative?• Are your students able to work independently
to complete?
Get motivated and moving…
• There is not just one way to use technology in the classroom. There are several different mediums, resources, and tools to be successful in the 21st Century.
• Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is most important.” - Bill Gates
• Bill Gates founder of Microsoft
The only risk is not trying…
• Teaching in the Internet age means we must teach tomorrow’s skills today.” – Jennifer Fleming
• “There can be infinite uses of the computer and of new age technology, but if teachers themselves are not able to bring it into the classroom and make it work, then it fails.” - Nancy Kassebaum
Students win when you use technology
• “We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.” – David Warlick
Technology is the missing link…
What You Might See in a Technology Integrated Classroom• Teacher in small group or one-on-one discussions• Teacher modeling the use of technology to
