ICT role in 21st century education and it's challenges.
Teaching + technology= enhancing learning
1. Why and what we do research on
teaching with technology
2. Main Ideas
High expectation and take an action :
teacher training
technology leadership
1:1 laptop program
Impact of technology using in classrooms:
positive changes and problems
Technology as a solution for what?
4. We educators really hope students learn with computers:
search for learning
resources
do online courses
do research
create and
contribute
think critically
communicate and
collaborate
sort and recreate
explain, elaborate,
show…
5. ISTE's NETS for Students (2007)
Demonstrate creativity and innovation
Communicate and collaborate
Conduct research and use information
Think critically, solve problems, and make decisions
Use technology effectively and productively

6. What we must do in schools:
http://subversiveinfluence.com/2008/11/a-pathetic-prophetic-response-to-obama-victory/
7. Change for what :
Students’
Learning
active learning replaces passive
learning
high order thinking replaces
superficial thinking
project-based learning replaces
recalling
rich resources replaces limited
resources
big society replaces small classrooms
students self-directed
learning
replaces
teacher-directed learning
14. We do have some positive changes:
Schools do get a great deal
of technology equipment
Policies support schools to
use technology in classrooms
Rich teaching and learning
resources
Useful learning tools help
students thinking, learning,
communicating,
collaborating,creating…
Teachers gradually choose to
use technology to support
their teaching
15. We do have some problems to solve:
PPT are widely used, but
sometimes used inappropriately
Isolated learning replaces
individualized learning
Superficial learning
Digital divide
Teachers get into trouble when
there are unexpected technology
problems
Low efficiency when technology
is not used properly
16. We have to do more on:
Enhancing learning
by using Technology
in schools
17. We have to clarify:
Teaching with technology
Teaching + Technology
or
18. Two classroom stories:
Learning + technology (Teacher Wang _ Language Arts)
Data collecting
Beautiful ppt of sea
Discussions on how to
protect sea from pollution
The Sea
Not any instruction on data
collecting
Multimedia is too attractive
Discussion in Chinese
20. We share the same ideas:
Whether computers are used well depends the
pedagogical knowledge and skills of teachers
who design their use in the classrooms.
----p4, Eileen M. Coppola
Coppola, E. M. (2004). Powering Up: Learning to Teach Well with Technology.
New York: Teachers College Press
21. We have to find out:
Technology as a solution
for what?
22. We have to consider:
What can teachers and students
do with computers in their
classrooms to enhance learning?
And how?
What problems they are facing in
making learning be more
effective by using technology?
And why?
If we hope teachers do better by
using technology than what they
did before, what we’d better do to
support them?
23. Teachers need support for:
How to use technology (knowledge and skills on
computer hardware and software _ initial needs)
How to integrate technology into
classrooms( instructional design, resources, strategies
of implementation, assessment… )
Making preparation for education future

34. Principals’ Technology leadership Forum
The ideas and skills are helpful
Experiencing promotes deeper
understanding
Action plan will be implemented
42. 1:1laptop program in K-12 schools
Positive findings
in 1:1 program
Schools & Families
43. 1:1laptop program in K-12 schools
1. Problems put forward by
teachers
Hardware and unsteady
internet access
Problems in teaching
How to redesign the curriculum
to best taking advantages of laptops
to motivate students to use laptop for
learning.
Lack learning resources,
especially those for students to do
hands on work.
Lack timely advice on
technology and instruction design
from experts.
44. 1:1laptop program in K-12 schools
2. Problems put forward
by researchers
No overall planning and
design for 1:1 learning
environment
Teachers’ professional
development level is still one
of the major obstacles that
make the learning to be more
efficient.
Not enough resources to
support 1:1 learning
45. 1:1laptop program in K-12 schools
Lack understanding of
students’ learning features
in digital learning
environment
Classroom management in
1:1 learning environment still
needs to be improved
Lack understanding of the
mechanism of how to make
traditional teaching transfer
to teaching and learning in a
web 2.0 world
46. 1:1laptop program in K-12 schools
Laptops are using in an
integrated and effective way to
enhance students learning and
become students learning
companions that support them
learning anywhere, anytime.
