A teacher you work with has asked for your help in designing technology-related activities capitalizing on the wide variety of technology resources available in the room (assume the kind of technology you choose will be in the room).
1. How would you design the initiating activity(s)?
I would advise him to utilize any and all technology available at my school. Hopefully, I am already using this myself and can aid him in integrating it, but if not, I'd direct him to the tech person or tech-experienced teacher for help.
2. How many would there be?
I would use at least one 21st century skill with technology at least 3 times a week.
3. How would you choose to integrate technology into your teaching, students’ learning, and the assessments?
Some things I do:
Laptop and projector can be used to show informative video clips. Digital thermometers can record temps that are put into the computer for variety of uses. Power point slideshows and interactive online games can be used to re-enforce a lesson or introduce a lesson.
4. What technology would you choose?
Clickers (if possible), laptop, projector, internet, digital thermometers, informative cd's/dvd's for the computer.
5. How would you assist the teacher in understanding how the technology you use in the initiating activities could be used again in the guided learning and culminating performance – for instruction, learning, and assessment?
By example. I would model it for them if they could watch me for a class...if not, we could do it before or after school.
6. What resources would you direct him/her towards?
Websites found on the internet and/or offered with the equipment being used. Also, I'd direct him to other experienced teachers.
