Education with Technology
- Tech Integration Teacher, What time is it? August 23, 2016When someone asks what time it is, that person wants to know the time, not the history of the clock, not how a clock works, and not what other types of clocks there are. Classroom teachers want to help their students improve their academic learning through technology. Sometimes they need help with technology so they go […]hgtuttle
- Curriculum Focus, Not Technology Focus July 28, 2016In my public school career I have been a classroom teacher, a technology integration specialist and a technology administrator. In my technology role, I served under the Assistant Superintendent for Instruction. She had a simple mission: Improve students’ academic learning. My mission was equally simple: Improve students’ academic learning through technology […]hgtuttle

- Digital Badges: Naming the Badge October 29, 2015Once teachers have selected what learning and what digital badges (individual or category badges; see previous blog), the teachers encounter another decision. What will they name each badge? Will they use the full name of the Common Core Standard or the national proficiency? For English, under “Speaking and Listening,”will they write out SL.2 “Integrate and […]hgtuttle
- Digital Badges: Better Than Grades? October 19, 2015Teachers understand that the grade in a course consists of many different factors such as homework, participation , projects, tests, etc. Blodget observes that sometimes grades reflect attitude, effort, ability and behavior (http://www.academia.edu/9074119/Grading_and_Whether_or_not_Grades_Accurately_Reflect_Student_Achievement). Equally important, a letter […]hgtuttle
- World Language Students Use of Mobile Devices in the Classroom October 5, 2015Do world language students use technology n the classroom? Do their teachers go beyond having their students use technology simply for the drill and practice in vocabulary and grammar?

- Digital Badges: Individual or Categorized Learning Badges? September 12, 2015The idea of digital badges sounds appealing for the digital children in classes. As teachers start thinking about digital badges, they have to figure out what badges will be awarded. The teachers can award social or academic badges. If teachers decide to use academic badges, then the teachers may base their badges on the Common […]hgtuttle

– It’s hard to believe that none of these were identified. It’s hard to admit that, but it is true. I don’t know how to accomplish this in the future. It seems that whenever I talk to teachers about integrating technology, they never mention standards. In fact, in the 2 1/2 months at my job, I have never heard the word “standards” mentioned once. Not even the administrators have approached me about bridging the two.
– This is excellent. I have a technology integration form on my website for our teachers to fill out before I schedule a meeting with them regarding integration. I think I will be adding questions about standards to this form. I am also hoping to speak about aligning district performance data and grade level standards with technology integration at both the next admin and faculty meetings.
I can’t remember the exact standards, but I do the Antique Car project did get very specific with the standards addresses and the specific performance indicator, as well as, a comprehensive assessment tool.
I am not a member of the teaching community, but I need to learn! I think we need more people assisting in the integration of technology and assessing whether or not the activity if directly meeting the standard.
Viewed from “central office”:
Ques #3: This is an excellent idea and approach. Necessitates starting with the individual teacher and helping him/her understand how to approach the Standards, learning, assessments.
And then how technolgy can help me be a better teacher because students will learn better.
