Noyce Cohort 3 Leadership Project: Teaching with Tablet Technology
Travis PlumeJefferson City HS
JCHS Group Project Proposal What impact does tablet
technology have upon student learning and engagement?
The explicit instruction and integration of technology models the expected competencies of the modern workforce (www.p21.org).

Guiding Principles in Proposal Development Previous technologies have failed to
live up to their potential in the science classroom (http://www.macworld.com/article/153672/2010/08/1).
No technology can replace or compensate for ineffective teaching.
Technology should streamline or increase the efficiency of the process for which it was designed.
Potential Pitfalls
Novelty of the new technology is temporary and wasteful if not directed to increase or enhance the learning process for students.
Total reinvention of current teaching strategies is not necessary.
Project Goal
I intend to develop multiple activities adaptable to both middle and high school science classrooms utilizing tablet technology:– Photosynthesis Lab – Catalase Lab– Osomosis Lab
My Initial Conceptualization…

Rethinking Learning?
Learning is supported by technology
Technology is a driving force The foundation of the learning
process must emphasize intentionality
Technology facilitates the creative abilities of the student
