Using model 3 of
the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T), area d
which says model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital
tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support
research and learning. This standard uses technology in the classroom to help
students open up the vast knowledge of research and learning.
There are many sites out there that are already incorporated into vast databases such as jstor or ebscohost. These tools are great for search academic journals and research tools. I have used these databases many times in my own education career. As a historian I often use these sites and others to do my own research for various papers and projects.
However it can be very difficult to incorporate these items in an already established classroom. In a book found at ITSE web site at http://www.iste.org/images/excerpts/REINVT-excerpt.pdf explains how to incorporate technology into the classroom. The book main points are starting the journey; teachers are learners too, getting ready, and investment. Starting the journey states that the students are more than ready to start new technologies in the classroom. The up and coming students are pretty much born with the technology and know how to navigate it. The article says that the time put into the technology project is worth the effort. That any thing put into the classroom the students will get ten fold. It also says that learning in a technology based classroom will enhance the students learning.
The aspect that teachers are learners too according to the book relates that in order for the teachers to utilize the technology to its fullest they must learn to use it properly. Teachers are life long learners. And must continually update their notion of technology.
When getting ready according to the authors an educator must do a few things in order to get ready for the switch to technology in the classroom. Such as the way the engage with students, classroom management, help students maintain technology. The teacher must also be willing to rearrange desks
and rearrange your plans to what is out of date and what should be kept.
All of this is an investment to the student’s use of technology in the classroom. As an educator you would invest time, money, skill. The more an educator invests the more a student will get out of the course. (Boss & Krauss, 2007)
This excerpt covers model three of the NETS-T, that of which digital age and learning
the second source I have found to include technology for students is http://www.iste.org/images/excerpts/JRTBK1-excerpt.pdf
this source covers challenges for educational technology research and measuring teachers technology uses.
The challenges for the educational technology are Unrealistic expectations for technology-based reform. Lack of consensus on research questions and methodologies. By educators. Diminished role of research in school reform. These all can pose a problem with technology in the classroom.
The article shows how to measure teacher’s use of technology by samples and methodology, literary reviews. It also measure simple things like teacher preparedness or the amount of emails regarding class are sent. Many numbers and graphs throughout the entire basis of technology in school are calculated and recorded to make sure that the technology is being used to its maximum potential. (Schrum, 2010)
