UNIT 2
Learner Centered Strategies
UNIT 2’S OBJECTIVES
Review learner centered strategies Current educational technologists...who are they
and what are they are researching? Classroom practices that connect constructivism
to everyday teacher needs Backward design planning and assessment
strategies—review steps Evolution of learner theories and how those
theories apply to technology integration Matching traditional instructional strategies to
technology integration Using ISTE standards to match age appropriate
activities with technology
READ CHAPTER 5
We will be using the textbook you’ve used in other TET courses.
Integrating Technology into Teaching: The Technology and Learning Continuum by Arthur Recesso and Chandra Orrill
WHAT IS A LEARNER CENTERED STRATEGY?
Recall what Chapter 1 of your textbook outlined about learning and gave 14 points to the Technology and Learning Continuum Model
WHO ARE THE THEORISTS IN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY THAT DEVELOPED THESE IDEAS?
DIGITAL TOOLS ARE UNLIKE ANY OTHER TOOLS AND HAVE UNIQUE PEDAGOGY

LEARNING IS A PROCESS WHERE THE IDEAS BUILD UPON ONE ANOTHER
HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION REQUIRES CAREFUL PLANNING
TEACHERS PERFORM TWO TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION ROLES:
They are designers of the learning experience
They become facilitators of learning

WATCH ALAN NOVEMBER’S SPEECH ON INCORPORATING MEANINGFUL TECHNOLOGY INTO STUDENT WORK
EVOLUTION OF LEARNER THEORY
WHAT DO THESE THEORIES HAVE TO INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY?
As developer, you will be facilitating learning rather than dictating it
Applying the tools of constructivism such as simulations, modeling tools, research activities allow you to support students without taking over their learning
Instead of giving them the answer, you’ll lead them towards it
PRACTICES THAT APPLY TO CONSTRUCTIVISM
Inquiry learning Problem-based learning
APPLYING THESE THEORIES TO DEVELOPING CLASSROOM PLANNING INSTRUCTION
The process of backwards design considers the need to transform beyond consideration of the textbook as the primary source for daily lessons. It attempts to structure learning so that prior learning is organized into ways of thinking so that the new learning can be more easily taken into existing patterns of organization. Through the gradual building (or scaffolding), students are supported beyond rote, simple understanding of ideas and concepts. (p 51-90)
CHARACTERISTICS OF BACKWARDS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTIVISM
TARGETING INSTRUCTION TO DEEPER LEVELS
IDENTIFY THE LEARNERS,KNOW THE CONTEXT
ACCOUNT FOR PRIOR LEARNING
RANK CURRICULAR PRIORITIES
FIND BRIDGES FROM SIMPLE UNDERSTAND TO DEEPER KNOWLEDGE
DESIGN FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS TO MATCH LEARNING TARGETS
PROVIDE COMPELLING EVIDENCE
USE ASSESSMENT TYPES THAT PRODUCE MULTIPLE MEASURES OF LEARNING
Performance assessments Projects Open-ended questions at cognitive levels of
deep understanding (similar to essay questions but requiring more than a single class period to answer)
Answers essential questions that uses information from throughout the learning experience
Quiz/tests---used to establish learning occurred at foundational levels
CREATE LEARNING ACTIVITIES
PEDAGOGICAL CHALLENGE
Students working
independently
Teacher directed learning
Negotiation between teacher and student
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION (ISTE) ICT PROFILES
Created to help teacher envision wide variety of learning experiences that seamlessly integrate technology
Target age-specific bands of students Based on ISTE beliefs that students must
have regular opportunities to develop tech skills Based on NETS-S 2007 Organized around 4 grade bands Created to establish indicators of achievement
throughout student’s school career Examples posted by ISTE at

UNIT 2 ASSIGNMENTS AND ACTIVITIES
Read through the Integrated Technology Unit Project Description (download it from Moodle).
Review and analyze classroom curriculum. Pick one classroom curriculum unit to incorporate
constructivist elements, integrates technology and can be framed around authentic learning experience
Analyze the selected unit using the ISTE ICT Profiles…fill out ICT Comparison Worksheet and write paragraph
Create your Introductory Wiki page at www.tet7403.pbworks.com
Post this week’s discovery about Classroom 2.0 on your blog.
INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY UNIT PROJECT OVERVIEW
Reflects the constructivist philosophy because you facilitate using basic knowledge to answer overarching questions central to the curriculum.
As their teacher, you will act as the facilitator” of their learning as they engage in “sense-making” of this new knowledge
Design a learning experience that embodies an “idea-based unit”
Each week we will do a piece of this Integrated Technology Unit Project…either thinking, designing, collaborating or writing. You will post these to the class wiki www.tet7304.pbworks.com .
ISTE ICT COMPARISON ASSIGNMENT You will read through the ICT Profile you think is most
appropriate for your classroom. Fill out the ICT Profiles Comparison worksheet, which
analyzes the match with your students, the year’s classroom curriculum, the technology you have available and your technology expertise. List the ICT learning activity in the left-hand column; indicate where in your year’s classroom curriculum this type of activity would be matched and then put an “X” in the other columns if where there is a match.
Use the information from the Comparison worksheet to analyze your options and then focus in on one unit where you need to infuse technology integration.
Write a paragraph that summarizes which classroom curriculum unit you picked and explain why it was the best match for creating a Technology Integration Unit Project.
PLEASE NOTE: THE PROFILES DO NOT GIVE LESSON PLANS SO IT WILL BE UP TO YOUR EXPERTISE AND IMAGINATION TO DEVELOP THE IDEA INTO A ROUGH IDEA OF SOMETHING THAT FEASIBLE AND REALISTIC. EXPLAIN WHICH EXPERIENCES OFFER THE BEST MATCH WITH YOUR STUDENTS, YOUR CURRICULUM, THE TECHNOLOGY YOU HAVE AVAILABLE AND YOUR TECHNOLOGY EXPERTISE.
