4.  Realizing the Full Impact of Technology on
Learning
Developments in social networking, blogs, video-sharing sites
and mobile learning devices (MLDs)
Teachers need to stay up to date on integrating technologies for
tech-savvy students
Educators must develop new assessment techniques to
evaluate student learning that occurs through use of advanced
technology
 Virtual Schools and Online Learning
Virtual Schools – instruction takes place over the internet
Blended Learning – combination of online and face-to-face
instruction

12. Integrating Technology Stages
Entry – teachers learned to use computers
Adoption – teachers began to teach students how to
use computers
Adaptation – teachers began to use technology
(computers) as a tool to teach with
Appropriation – teachers began to explore new
teaching possibilities with computers
Invention – teachers collaborated with peers to
create authentic inquiry learning activities

13. Another Meta-analysis Study
•7 studies showed positive findings in regard to
achievement, 7 showed negative or mixed findings
•10 studies in core areas yielded results from very
positive to cautiously negative
•10 studies showed higher levels of achievement for
computer using classrooms
•5 studies showed improvement in students attitude
and more learned in less time
U.S. Department of Education meta-analysis
•Online students performed better than face-to-face
counterparts 12-13

14. Internet access
•Almost universal in schools
•Reduction in the number of students per
computer
Digital divide
