Welcome!As we get started think, and discuss
with a neighbor:WHY do we use technology in
teaching?
Today’s Objective: Analyze the use of technology in the curriculum:
“Education is the only business still debating the usefulness of technology. Schools remain unchanged for the most part, despite numerous reforms and increased investments in computers and networks.”
-- U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige

“We cannot assume that our schools will naturally drift toward using technology effectively. We must commit ourselves to staying the course and making the changes necessary to reach our goals of educating every child. These are ambitious goals, but they are goals worthy of a great nation such as ours. Together, we can use technology to ensure that no child is left behind.”
-- President George W. Bush

Conclusions• America’s students need the knowledge and competence to compete in
an increasingly technology-driven world economy. • This need demands new models of education facilitated by educational
technology.• Industry is far ahead of education. Tech-savvy high school students
often are far ahead of their teachers. • Some of the most promising new educational approaches are being
developed outside the traditional educational system, through e-learning and virtual schools.
• This is an exciting, creative and transforming era for students, teachers, administrators, policymakers and parents.
• The next 10 years could see a spectacular rise in achievement – and may well usher in a new golden age for American education.

• The ICT Literacy Assessment is a comprehensive test of ICT proficiency specifically designed for the higher education environment. It uses scenario-based assignments to assess all the ICT skills required of today's higher education students - not just knowledge of technology, but the ability to use critical-thinking skills to solve problems within a technological environment.
• " Students today can't prepare bark to calculate their problems. They depend on their slates which are more expensive. What will they do when the slate drops and it breaks? They will be unable to write" - Teachers
Conference, 1703 • " Students today depend on store-bought ink. They don't know how to
make their own. When they run out of ink they will be unable to write words or cipher until their next trip to the settlement. This is a sad commentary on modern times”…"Rural American Teacher", 1929
• Ball point pens will be the ruin of education in our country. Students use these devices, and then throw them away! The American virtues of thrift and fragility are being discarded. Businesses and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries ”…" Federal Teacher", 1959
• " Why should I bother preparing my lessons on an overhead, when I have the chalkboard? What if the power goes out? ”..comments by a teacher, 1983
• " Calculators will be the ruin of Math education. Students will never learn Math concepts. How will they calculate when they don't have their calculator with them? "..... some Math teachers, several years ago
• " The students haven't really learned anything if they used a video camera or computer to research and do a project. I always just wrote a report, and I
came out fine" .... an elementary school principal, 1990

BIG SIX SKILLS• The Big6™ SkillsThe Big6 is a process model of how people of all ages solve an
information problem. From practice and study, we found that successful information problem-solving encompasses six stages with two sub-stages under each:
• 1. Task Definition1.1 Define the information problem 1.2 Identify information needed
• 2. Information Seeking Strategies 2.1 Determine all possible sources 2.2 Select the best sources
• 3. Location and Access3.1 Locate sources (intellectually and physically) 3.2 Find information within sources
• 4. Use of Information4.1 Engage (e.g., read, hear, view, touch) 4.2 Extract relevant information
• 5. Synthesis5.1 Organize from multiple sources 5.2 Present the information
• 6. Evaluation6.1 Judge the product (effectiveness) 6.2 Judge the process (efficiency)
