1. EDUC W200 Week 4
Introduction to Unit 2
TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
2. EDUC W200 Week 4
W200 is divided into three units…
Unit #1:
Why
Technology?
Unit #2:
Technology
for Learners
and Learning
Unit #3:
Professional
Teaching in a
Digital World
This week: The 3Es
3. EDUC W200 Week 4
UNIT 2:
TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
• We are shifting the focus from “why” to “how”.
• Primary focus of Unit 2 is:
• HOW do teachers implement technology into
classroom?
• HOW do teachers make the best use of the
technologies we have access to?
• HOW do we teachers evaluate the best use of the
technologies?
5. EDUC W200 Week 4
THE 3E’s
Is one criteria we use in W200
How to use the 3 E’s..
• Define the learning objective,
• Define the task,
• Select a tool to support the task (use 3 e’s)
6. EDUC W200 Week 4
WHAT ARE THE 3 E’s?
1. EFFECTIVENESS
Meet the learning goals successfully (Standards)
2. EFFICIENCY
Save time, effort, and cost (Resources)
Should be coupled with effectiveness
3. ENHANCEMENT
Offer Engaging learning experience (Digital Natives)
Enrich learning environments
7. EDUC W200 Week 4
DISCUSSION
Q: Which is impacted the most in this video?
Effectiveness, Efficiency, or Enhancement?
Creating Common Craft style videos
to introduce persuasive writing
7th Grade, English Language Arts
8. EDUC W200 Week 4
DISCUSSION – Poll Everywhere Activity
Question: In the example, which E(s) is the most important
and evident? Why or why not?
• Effectiveness
• Efficiency
• Enhancement
- Can a technology tool/resource have more than 1 E?
- Should a technology tool/ resource have all 3Es?
Poll Everywhere Link
9. EDUC W200 Week 4
INSTRUCTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
• EFFECTIVENESS is about “Does it accomplish learning
outcomes?”
• Examples:
- Timeline Tool: Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington
- 50 states
- Inspiration
10. EDUC W200 Week 4
INSTRUCTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
• Learning should be EFFICIENT
• Overview:
- Using technology to speed up the learning process
- Using technology to quickly make educational
materials
- Enables more learning by eliminating laborious
processes
- Speed / Easiness / Cost / Resource
11. EDUC W200 Week 4
LEARNING SHOULD BE “EFFICIENT”!
• Examples:
- Thinkfinity:Games and Tools (Free online educational game)
- Netvibes /Feedly/ Reddit / Stumbleupon
- Diigo / Delicious/
- Webspiration/Inspiration
- Quizlet
- Microsoft Office Products templates
12. EDUC W200 Week 4
INSTRUCTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
• Learning should be ENHANCING
• Overview:
- Using technology increases student motivation and
engagement
- Using technology makes the impossible (or difficult)
possible
- Creates exceptional learning experiences
- Enriches learning environments
13. EDUC W200 Week 4
LEARNING SHOULD BE “ENHANCED”!
• Examples:
- Live Mocha
- ReachtheWorld
- Aha! Math
- Xpeditions
- Google LitTrips

Notas del editor
We are now on HOW do we help integrate technology….
Enhancement: Transfer, Impact, Appeal (Motivation). Something you couldn’t do before without technology.
What is EFFICIENCY? Less time, reduces extra effort –
What does it mean to be INEFFECTIVE? Has no effect
Effectiveness is the completeness and accuracy with which users achieve specified goals. It is determined by looking at whether the user’s goals were met successfully and whether all work is correct.
It can sometimes be difficult to separate effectiveness from efficiency, but they are not the same. Efficiency is concerned primarily with how quickly a task can be completed, while effectiveness considers how well the work is done.
Class prep review – check and discuss student’s understanding of the 3Es

In the example, which E(s) is impacted the most? Why or why not?

Example:
As students review the three different types of matter (gas, liquids, solids), they may need reinforcement of certain principles. Therefore, a tutorial where student answer certain questions based on these principles, and when answered, the computer supplies a review of that information with a short flash movie, explaining the principles, students may be more likely to remember this principle and thus impact the effectiveness of the instruction.
THESE TWO WORDS GET MIXED UP FREQUENTLY SO LETS FOCUS ON THEM- HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT???
Webspiration Science example: http://www.webspirationpro.com/examples – This helps student learning by providing a graphic organizer so that students can see their similarities and differences with visual illustration.

This is probably the most familiar use of technology in teaching. Probably what most of you remember your teachers doing. But it can speed up the teaching OR learning process. We’re focusing on learning in this lecture.
Technology lets us do things faster
Students may be better able to produce writing drafts and quickly edit them by using a word processor and saving their drafts. Once they review it for mistakes, they can bring up the draft and quickly edit it as opposed to re-writing the piece.
Here are some examples of tools that can help increase the efficiency of learning.
Math:
Speed up calculations
Redo statistics & quickly change input
Make different graphs quickly or quickly manipulate data
Researching
Writing drafts
Find these examples!
Writing Process:
Electronic outlining
Concept mapping
drafting, & revising
Science:
Recording measurements
Getting access to data sets
Quick analysis
Social Studies:
Internet research
US census data
ALL:
Jeopardy
Art:
Graphic manipulation (quickly change media)
Physical Ed:
Track fitness
SPED:
Assistive technology
LiveMocha is an online foreign language learning community, where learners are connected with other foreign language learners and native speakers. When you sign up, you can select your native language and the language you are working on. Then the system will suggest some friends for you to match the level you are on. You can text or video chat with your friends. You can also rate your friends to see whether they are helpful. The learning experience is engaging because the students are learning in the real world.
Enhancement refers to technology that includes motivational elements, or just allows the teacher/student to do something that was otherwise impossible or difficult. Students may be investigating the Revolutionary War. Believe it or not, this topic is taught much differently in the United Kingdom as opposed to the United States. Students in the US may use technology to discuss the topic with students in the UK, gaining a broader perspective, thus enhancing their understanding of the topic.

This instructional game help students to learn science concepts effectively (tested by standardized test). The students are highly engaged without realizing they are actually learning science. So it is addressing at least Effectiveness and Enhancement. Play the full video to two thirds. It first talks about enhancement and then addressing effectiveness. http://sciencepirates.com/classroom/objectives.html – their learning objectives stated clearly.
