Background Info

Tech is everywhere! Tech engages learners in

novel ways. The interactive features allow

students to become active rather than passive learners.

Today’s classrooms are equipped for tech.

Collaborative networks for sharing lessons by teachers are available.

What does the research say?

"The process of learning in the classroom can become significantly richer as students have

access to new and different types of information, can manipulate it on the computer through graphic displays or controlled experiments in ways never

before possible, and can communicate their results and conclusions in a variety of media to their teacher, students in the next classroom, or

students around the world.”

~Department of Education, 1995

Dr. Kathryn McKnight, 2012“Top 12 Ways that Tech has Changed

Learning”

• Expanding audiences• Increased communication• Poster boards- a thing of the past• Say goodbye to 3 ring binders• Interactive textbooks• E-books on the rise• No more note passing• Disappearance of the chalkboard• Assistive tech for better

communication• IPAD- the game changer• Extended classroom communities• Rise of web-based research• Meeting the needs of all learners

Constructivism and Technology

• John Dewey advocated it at the turn of the century.

• Maria Montessori based her educational model on constructivism.

• L. Vygotsky has helped us understand how students learn.

“Technology is the ultimate carrot for students. It's something they want to master. Learning to use it enhances their self-esteem and makes them excited about coming to school.” --Fifth grade teacher

“The computer has been an empowering tool to the students. They have a voice and it's not in any way secondary to anybody else's voice. It's an equal voice. So that's incredibly positive. Motivation to use technology is very high. “ --Elementary school teacher

15

Constructivism is child-centered if it:

"proposes that learning environments should support multiple perspectives or interpretations of reality, knowledge construction, context-rich, experience-based activities.” ~E-How Mom

Curating novel technology to align with Common Core Standards


Engaging? New and applicable to need? Empowering deeper learning? Creating need for innovation

and invention? Will this increase the field of

practice? Will this technology work

cheaper or faster?

Problem-Solving Scenario

The climate is changing. The earth is warming up, and there is now overwhelming scientific consensus that it is happening, and human-induced. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing.

Many are agreed that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions, and/or increasing extremities in weather patterns. What can be done?
