Knowing Content is NOT Enough
In order to be successful in the 21st Century, ALL students must be able to
Construct new understandingsSolve problemsMake decisionsCommunicate and express themselvesUnderstand complex issuesWork collaborativelySet goals and work to a timelineMake ethical choices
A Taxonomy for Integrating Technology into Diverse Classrooms
Increasing Levels of CognitionCurriculum mastery deepens
Increasing Complexity of Technology SkillsTechnology choices become autonomous
How to Include ALL Students
Have students move through the taxonomy appropriate to their abilities.
As students acquire the skills of using a technology….
It becomes a tool they may choose
The emphasis of an activity shifts from the technology to the cognitive skills students must employ
Becomes invisible
ObservingStudents are passive spectators of technology
Students view PowerPoint during lectureTeacher uses Interactive Whiteboard during lectureStudents view websites on large screenStudents listen to a podcast

IncorporatingStudents are leveraging technology to increase productivity
Type papers using WordMake graphs with ExcelOnline SearchesCalculatorsTutorials
ProducingStudents create a product with a single technology
Students record a podcastStudents make a moviePoster session in PowerPoint
ExploringStudents engage in discovery learning prior to formal instruction
Students use online applet to learn about a topicStudents conduct a lab with probes
CollaboratingStudents interact with peers, instructors, and outside resources
Students make group contributions in text format to a WikiStudents work together on a Google DocWeb 2.0 Tools: mindomo, VoiceThread, etc.Student email - GaggleBlogging
ApplyingStudents are guided to combine and integrate technologies
Students use Excel, Probes and Accompanying Software, and Photobooth in Notebook to create lab reportStudents use PowerPoint to make slides to import into iMovieStudents add movies, MP3s and images into a Wiki
