1. Welcome! “ Teachers in every strata of education are increasingly dealing with a student population that is not only more wired than they are but also grew up in a techno-drenched atmosphere that has trained them to absorb and process information in fundamentally different ways. This generation of students is more likely to be armed with cell phones, laptops, and iPods than with spiral notebooks and #2 pencils. ” -Josh McHugh Edutopia, October 2005

18. Research and Trends “ Combining technology instruction with the study of other disciplines, such as mathematics, science or social studies, helps reinforce the learning within each discipline.” -Ohio K-12 Technology Academic Content Standards

19. Research and Trends If technology is to be used to produce improvements in student achievement, teachers must see a direct link between the technology and the curriculum for which they are responsible (Byrom, 1998). Teachers today are constantly being told that technology is always the preferred method of delivery, rather than when it is appropriate (Schrum, 1999).

20. Research and Trends Roschelle, Pea, Hoadley, Gordin, & Means (2000) identify four fundamental characteristics of how technology can enhance both what and how children learn in the classroom: (1) active engagement, (2) participation in groups, (3) frequent interaction and feedback, and (4) connections to real-world contexts.
