1. Improving Teaching and Learning For The
Future.

2.  Technology is becoming a dominant aspect of
our society (Harvey-Woodall, 2009).
 Future occupations will require collaboration
across international and cultural boundaries
and new way of integrating knowledge (Haste,
2009).
 It is necessary for students occupational
prospects (Lebens, Graff & Mayer, 2009).

3. Motivation
• Traditional methods no longer capture the
interest of children growing up in this
computer age (Harvey-Woodall, 2009).
• Students demonstrate higher motivation and
engagement when using technology (Harvey-
Woodall, 2009).

5. Differentiated Instruction (DI)
• DI is a teaching method based on the idea
that instruction should vary according to the
individual and diverse needs and interests of
students in the classroom (Looi, et al., 2009).
• Supports instructional activities that enable
differentiated instruction (Looi, et al., 2009).
• Use of technology can help teachers
understand the individual learning styles of
the students they teach (Harvey-Woodall,
2009).

7. Achievement
• Higher levels of motivation and engagement
result in increased student achievement
(Harvey-Woodall, 2009).
• Can contextualize learning because it can
happen any time or place (Looi, et al., 2009).
• Teachers should become familiar with the
latest technology in an effort to make
teaching activities as relevant and current as
possible (Harvey-Woodall, 2009).

8. Achievement (cont‟d)
• Research suggests ICT implementation can
support the achievement of disadvantaged
and low achieving learners (Lebens, Graff &
Mayer, 2009).

9. Flexibility
• Online education provides flexibility for
students and teachers (Webb, 2009).
• Learning can happen any time and anywhere
(Looi, et al., 2009).

10. Audio Podcasts
• Advocates believe it offers unique educational
benefits such as the time-shifting ability
(Hew, 2009).
• Spoken word can influence a learner‟s
cognition and motivation (Hew, 2009).

11. Cell Phones
• Take pictures of things outside the classroom
for use in learning activities inside the
classroom (e.g. Studying angles in math
class).
• Calculator function
• Use the voice recorder for interviews in
English class
• Use the MP3 function to listen to notes.
(Rogers, 2009)

12. Wikis
• Can support a variety of collaborative
learning activities.
• Supports metacognitive tasks, like reflection
or self/co-explanation.
• Published online so they are accessible to
others at different times and places.
• Students feel they are working in a student-
owned and centered workspace.
Larusson & Alterman, 2009

13. Smart Boards
• Are interactive electronic whiteboards
(Gerard, Widener & Greene, 1999)
• Increases motivation, attention and time on
task (Mechling, Gast & Krupa, 2007).
• Can help improve the mastery of letter
sounds by simultaneously hearing the sound,
seeing the letter, and touching the letter
(Campbell & Mechling, 2009).

14. Internet
• Powerful tools and information resources for
academic work and life in general.
• Can be used to produce web pages or blogs
to express their personal ideas or opinions.
(Chou et al., 2009)

15.  The instructor plays a major role in how
technology is utilized within the classroom.
 Teachers must understand how technology
can be connected with pedagogy and
curriculum content.
(Harvey-Woodall, 2009)

16.  Substantial support from administrators.
 Longer, ongoing PD that focuses on
integrating technology into the classroom.
 Presented within context of student-centered
instructional practices.
 Should be researched based.
 Student achievement should be at the
forefront.
(Harvey-Woodall, 2009)

17.  Must address needs of the individual (Wells,
2007).
 Create leadership roles (Wells, 2007).
 Constant support person in close proximity
(Plair, 2008).
 “Extension agent” model for inservice training
(Hurst, 1994).
