Disrupting Class

Why Integrate Technology into the Curriculum?

Why Integrate Technology into the curriculum? 


Integrating technology means more than teaching basic computer skills and software programs, it is essential for teachers and administrators to incorporate technology across the curriculum. There are many advantages of incorporating technology and many benefits that include: 

1. Active engagement by the students and teachers.
2. Participation in groups and more opportunities for collaboration. 
3. Frequent interaction and quick feedback.
4. Connection to real world experts and information at the students and teachers finger tips. 

Technology is effective when it is used in the classroom with students and provides the students with opportunities to learn from each other. The use of technology across the curriculum, prepares our students for real life experiences that they will experience when they go into the workforce.

Using clipart and How to Cite Your Creative Commons Source

Some of the following websites provide you with clip art that can be used in the presentations. Knowing how to cite the sources is very important. A few of these websites include pictures that are high resolution pics that can be used in presentations while some are free photographs that are available to the users but must be cited properly. 

You can always search for free clip art by typing under the search enginge " Free Clip art " or go directly to the following websites for more sophisticated clip art. 

http://vintageholidaycrafts.com/free-clip-art

http://wordplay.hubpages.com/hub/vintage-flowers

FreeDigitalphotos.net

Natural Apples by Digital Art with high resoulution

Flickr.com  free photographs 

It is important to cite the source of your free photograph or clip art, not only because it keeps everything legal, but because the creator of the image deserves recognition - little enough reward for making his/her art freely available.

When you are in the Photo Capsule Edit mode, there are three fields to type into:

1. The Name of Source: Here you should type in just the name of the source, like "Flickr". If you add more words than just the name of the source, the URL won't work as a link.
2. Source URL: This is where you should paste the URL to link to the source's website when asked to do so. By doing it this way, readers will be able to click on the "Source" name and it will backlink to the source's site.
3. Caption: Here you can type in the title of the photograph if it has one, or you can add your own short comment.

4 Free Web Tools for Student Portfolios

Platforms and 4 free web tools for student portfolios. 

Student portfolios are an important aspect of student assessments. For many teachers having a good amount of work samples are important to keep track of their students learning along with a baseline assessments. Students can benefit from the feedback they receive from their teachers. It is critical to receive feedback on a timely basis to allow the student to inquire about their projects and to provide teacher for a way to differentiate instructions. 

The following free blogs are excellent resource that students can teachers can use. 

Kid Blog - User friendly and students can use it to showcase what they are learning. Great Porfolio tool for the students. 

Googles sites- Slides- Blogger- You Tube

Use google sites to create media -rich websites to display the students work throughout the school year. 

Evernote  - option to create student portfolios, write, take photos, record audio and upload content. Students can start their work at school and work on their entry from a laptop at home.

However,  Evernote does not give teacher and way to moderate it's use by the student. Evernote isn't publicly viewable. 

Three ring - Students can create and upload from their own device abd tag, search and share their portfolios. 

1. Teacher created class accounts
2. Teacher creates accounts and add students to the account
3. Students can access their teacher and teachers can monitor account with a Username and Password. 
4. Content can be added by the teacher, student and can be commented on by both. 

All of the above can help teachers integrate technology in the classroom 

Ideas for Using Minecraft in the Classroom

Ideas for Using Minecraft in the Classroom

Minecraftedu is basically a customized modification of the game, that helps facilitate organization and focus for teachers to use Minecraft effectively. In addition, Joel Levin, the founder of MinecraftEdu, provides ideas and updates at The Minecraft Teacher blog.


Technology is responsible for helping children acquire many skills. As a teacher we should embrace technology and use the many benefits that it has to offer to implement classroom strategies in the classing. There are very few students these days that are not familiar with Ipods, Ipads, Iphones and many of the digital technologies like computers, digital phones. Incorporating the technology as a resource and a tool will require careful planning and some student centered learning. More and more teachers are using games like minecraft to help students explore literature and reading comprehension.

If you use Minecraftedu, this versions has created the students with opportunities to

1. Explore real life buildings
2. Practice ratio and proportion
3. Learn about survival
4. Visualize the stories and goes as far as allowing the students an opportunity to create various settings from the Text as they recreate scenes and plots. 
5. Great resource to assess students with reading comprehension skills, problem solving and collaborating with classmates on group projects.

Tech education and the school culture
Do not expect teachers to simply adapt to technology
Administrators must develop positive school culture.

1. Develop a culture and trust with students and teachers
2. Embrace risk and promote innovative practice in the classroom
3. Schedule planning time for teachers that allows time to explore and share 
4. Embrace game based learning in the classroom

Educators find that teaching students how to write codes and design games enhances the learning and creates engagement on the part of the students. 

Great Stumbling blocks for students who are trying to create their own games is finding or creating graphics for their games. 

Coding: Good for 

1. Critical Thinking
2. defining problems
3. Breaking things into smaller parts 
4. Resourceful 

Coding and gaming create powerful and engaging learning environments for students. Technology facilitates the learning process.

Using Minecraft to Engage and Educate students - Game Based Education

Exploring the difference between Face to face environment to computer mediated environment.

Computer based emergent system

1. more engaging
2. more immersive
3. fosters continuos discoveries
4. helps with problem solving skills

How do young children perceive and interact with each other in this environment differs from from face to face emergent environments. 

Using and comparing Legos to the Computer based game allows researchers to analyze that data and investigate how children's dialogue increases or decreases dependent on the type of game. 

SICC Selectively invisible color coding is used because it both are examples of emergent systems from very basic elements. 

Minecraft, is technology mediated and Legos are face to face

Players create their own personal goals in the mine-craft environment as they collect cattles, critters, monsters and blocks to create structures, landscapes and visual compositions. 

Researcher found that Mine-craft requires more dialogue as a result of children 

1. asking more questions
2. describe creations
3. tutor members 

However, the dialogue for mine-craft differes from the dialogue and discussions for Legos in Semantics and the intensity. Proximity to one another changes as well. 

Things that are achieved as a result of Game Based Education

1. Peer tutoring- more capable member(s) tutor the other group members- 
2. peer collaboration- all equally capable with the field in which they are working work together to figure it out. Collaborate, seek knowledge from each other. 
3. Collaborative learning- learning from one another 

Most effective way to stimulate learning from each other.

Vision for the classroom of the future in not new. Having students take control of the learning is not a new concept. Making great use requires adapting the classroom to be able to embrace the technological changes. By shifting from Teacher to Student centric learning, we have much to gain. Technology is present in the classroom but changes are slow in coming. Simply investing in technology does not guarantee that classroom will implement them. We can begin by "Disrupting the Classroom" and shifting how we incorporate lessons. Disruptive innovation is the introduction of new technologies, products or services in an effort to promote change and gain advantage over the competition. We live in a global economy and we must ensure that our students are ready to embrace the changes that come with these changes. Collaboration begins in the classroom and must be taught to our students to prepare them for the workforce.

Disrupting Class By Clayton M CHristensen, Michael Horn and Curtis Johnson walks us through the struggles that teachers and administrators face. A brief look at the educational system and the changes that have taken place since it's inception. Many changes have evolved but the classroom continue to cater to students from the industrial age. While technology has influence how our children interact, communicate and socialize, many of our classroom fall short with regards to embracing these changes. Technology continues to be a "tool" that is changing how our students learn and we have to find creative ways to adapt and embrace these changes. The point of this video is to emphasize that teachers that have taught for a while find it difficult to embrace these changes, while many others are more than willing to implement these changes.

What do the best classrooms in the world look like? 



This article touches on an important issue and misconception regarding classrooms. Many assume that the best classrooms are the ones with the latest technologies and that students are only successful if technology is in there classrooms. There are many variables that contribute to a top notch classroom. Findland, Singapore and Korea recruit about 100% of their teachers for the i/3 top notch teachers.

In 2006 Finish teenagers rank first in Math & Science. Us Ranked 25 at the time.

Collaborative learning is instrumental and very important. Many Students learning styles are different and when you get a group of diverse learners together in a setting where they have to collaborate, the end result is far greater than individual work. For many individual learning is a challenge, many individual learners can master the content area but it does not empower them with the culture you get when you collaborate on a project. Teachers and students are reluctant and hesitant at first, but quite often the "Habits of MInd" that develops because of it. Is sure to surprise many. Some great thing to expect when you encourage students to collaborate:

Kids take risk, learn to respect one another, listen, have reflective moments and frequently learned more of the material across the curriculum. Collaborating

using digital tables, smartboards, phones and networks

This article does a great job explaining some of the reasons why it is difficult to incoporate technology into the younger classrooms:

Technology such as digital tablets, smart boards, phones and networks continue to be a debate around parents. There is much debate about how do these technologies impact children's learning and their physical activity.

 Much debate has been made and researchers continue to inquire about the positive and negative affects digital media has on children:

• New Books and computers-especially in low income areas were not enough to help young children become strong readers.
• Children need physical, social, and cognitive growth and implementing technology in the classrooms can and will promote back and forth conversations among children. 
• Children need physical and tactile experiences
• Realizing that technology does encourage, exploration and hands on learning.
•  Using media to read and write continues to be a big discussion amongst parents and educators. 
• NO educational guides for choosing apps
• spotty access to high - speed internet in PK-3 classroom
• NO access to tablets in school 
• Achievement gaps- high-income  low-income families 
• Teachers are reluctant to use video, interactive media, and digital tools in pre-school settings
• PK# more willing to adopt technologies whereas preschool classrooms are slow to adopt technology. 
• Most cases media developers rarely connect with the world of educators and child development experts
