I had a talk with a teacher who decided to incorporate technology into her unit. She decided what activities she wanted the students to do and then she fit the technology into those activities. She was working with countries of the world. She wanted each student to do a report on a country. She decided that they would gather the information from the library’s encyclopedias and then her students would prepare a PowerPoint presentation of the country’s information. It was to be all words.
I had a talk with another teacher who decided to incorporate technology into her unit. She decided what particular standard she wanted her students to practice. She and I discussed various activities and various technologies that might help scaffold the learning for her students. She decided to have the students select five images for their chosen country from Flickr/Woophy and then for them to describe the variety of geography in a PowerPoint. They would use those five images to tell the different geography and how it might influence life in that country.
Have you talked with your technology integration teacher or Library Media Specialist recently to see new ways of using technology-infused learning to scaffold learning for your students?
