#8 - 10 big ideas for technology

10 Big Ideas for Technology Integration 

Johnathan Wally wrote a presentation on technology integration. This article is made up of a summary and high points of Wally's 55 minute presentation. There are 10 big points that are stated in this article.
  1. technology is integrated well when it is used as a too to enhance learning. 
  2. technology is integrated well when instruction is modified to meet the need of the digital age learner. 
  3. technology is integrated well when you are willing to take risks and fail. 
  4. technology is integrated well when yo know when not to use it.
  5. technology is integrated well when students are using the 4C's as part of their learning. 
  6. technology is integrated well when it helps to personalize instruction & learning. 
  7. technology is integrated well when it is supported by effective professional learning. 
  8. technology is integrated well when teachers and technology directors work together. 
  9. technology is integrated will when there is support from all stakeholders. 
  10. technology is integrated well when it is supported by a good digital citizenship program. 

I agree with all these statements and think they are all very important. Technology should be used to enhance learning, not take away from it. I did not know what the 4C's were until now, but they are also very important. If you, as a teacher, can get the creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration to increase or get better in any way, the technology is serving its purpose. I do think, however, that teachers should use their imagination a little bit more when regarding technology because some activities could be made so much better.

#7 SAMR and Bloom's Taxonomy

#7 SAMR and Bloom's Taxonomy 


This a a model that Dr. Ruben came up with to help teachers properly integrate education with technology by use 4 key points. These key points were redefinition, modification, augmentation, and substitution.  Augmentation and substitution is used to enhance learning while redefinition and modification are used to transform learning. There is a fine line between these two methods. The goal is to teach above the line in the transformation area. Teaching in this area mold skills such as creating, analyzing, and evaluating. Dr. Ruben came up with some questions to help people decide if they are using technology to enhance or transform. 
They are listed here:
  • what will I gain if I replace the older technology with a new form of technology? 
  • have I added an improvement to the task process that could not be accomplished with the older technology? 
  • does this modification depend upon the technology?
  • how is the new task uniquely made possible with the new technology? 

I like this method of evaluating technology use. If the technology is not there to help students, then there is no reason to use it. I think most teachers use technology because it makes it easier on them for grading, storage, and filing. If teachers use this method, they are sure to give their students every opportunity to learn and grow.

#5- Technology in Basketball


#5- Technology in Basketball 



90:http://weplay.co/nba-technology-future-of-sport/ 

A new piece of technology that is affecting the way we learn about player statistics, such as speed, distance, player separation, and ball possession. They use a six camera system that takes and maps 25 images per second. It maps the players and ball on the court. This technology will help us have a better understanding of player movements and is just really cool in general.
