What Once Was Is…

How often do YOU use technology for administrative functions?

How often do YOU use technology during lessons?

How often do your STUDENTS use technology in the classroom?

The students

Modeling the effective use of technology

Adaptability/flexibility

Authenticity

critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration

Technology Integration

“It is no longer sufficient for students to have less access to technological tools than the teacher, nor is it enough for any one suite of software to serve as the zenith for technology mastery. For student performance to approximate student potential, students need access to a constantly evolving array of technological tools and activities that demand problem-solving, decision-making, teamwork, and innovation.”

Movie making software/PowerPoint

If the movie software does not allow voice recording then will need Audacity—this will allow students to merge voice and music to one track, which can be imported to the movie.

Camera—either computer-camera or separate cameras; scanner would also work; could also do artwork digitally
