2017 Tech Integration Ideas by Kristen Eveland https://padlet.com/keveland/2017techideas Which ideas sparked an interest for you and why? Choose 2-3 technology topics from the articles (or other ideas) that you may want to try with your students. en-us 2017-03-09 01:58:58 UTC 2025-11-01 05:54:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Diskette.png Eugenie Armangau earmangau https://padlet.com/keveland/2017techideas/wish/160131713
- "Using classroom response systems for interactive assessment"
I have just recently tried this in class and I've been amazed at the results. I feel that it's sparked great conversations in our class and helped me catch errors before they become too engrained.

I also love the idea of using coding in the classroom. I interned for a software engineering company and was amazed that there were almost no women. I'd love to get girls into computer science and engineering from an early age so that they see it as an option. I'm just not sure how to integrate it into our curriculum

In a master's level course on research methods that he teaches, he gets a lot of students who are arts or music teachers beginning work on their theses in his class. He often hears them comment on how disconnected they feel from the rest of the STEM activities in their schools. So the key to STEAM succeeding is "getting the 'A' to really be a part of it, as opposed to the STEM [teachers] basically having their own part and then the A being kind of off to the side, not truly integrated." Once that integration happens, Nank said, "then I think it will be really hot."]]> 2017-03-15 00:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/keveland/2017techideas/wish/160131715 Dj Walcott- dwalcott https://padlet.com/keveland/2017techideas/wish/160131721 The is a lack of work-force to teach tech in our schools at the rate the tech is being created and used by students.  We will remain behind if educators are the ones determining the information/skills.  This is a great are for student-lead identification of the content and skill the would like/need to learn.]]> 2017-03-15 00:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/keveland/2017techideas/wish/160131721 David https://padlet.com/keveland/2017techideas/wish/160131724 STEM to STEAM--arts are an important gateway; we can we "miss a whole entry point.

"Connecting with others online can be a powerful experience, both for teachers and for students." I don't do this; sounds like I am missing out

Our teachers have just begun to take advantage of the many ways that they can leverage technology, including for promoting collaboration, so I'm looking forward to gaining greater insights.]]> 2017-03-15 00:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/keveland/2017techideas/wish/160131754 Robin rrendon8 https://padlet.com/keveland/2017techideas/wish/160131786 NGSS integrated science-I've been integrating NGSS into my lessons the last 3 years, I'm interested in finding out more about this focus as a hot tech topic

Yes but By the time we hit 1:1 and smooth efficiency the tech is old. - Dj]]> 2017-03-15 00:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/keveland/2017techideas/wish/160131994 @DJ (from Eugenie) earmangau https://padlet.com/keveland/2017techideas/wish/160132110 I think you make a great point about teaching technology skills. Even teaching kids at the lower school, I feel that I have to spend a lot of time in the classroom teaching not only how to use the tools appropriately, but also the safety, privacy, and kindness required to access the tools we'd like to use. I definitely feel that we need more support even from a young age to learn digital citizenship, before they get to middle school!

Second attempt... I think you're right about the students leading the way... they have the time and inclination, and they always seem to be current with technology.

1) STEAM
- Interdisciplinary content and practice makes English more interesting and accessible to students with diverse interests and who, tbh, might not like or see the arts as necessary/valuable. Showing the inextricable and long-standing relationships between the arts and STEM not only helps students appreciate arts more, but also broadens and deepens their understanding and practice of STEM, too.
2) Open Educational Resources
3) Web-based projects and research
- I see 2 and 3 working closely together in my classroom as I work to design a unit around research and the responsible use of tech for the purpose in an English classroom. At Parker, research writing is mostly only taught in history classes (in the humanities), and I'd like to diversify that offering by teaching students about research in English. That said, it would require a lesson and practice with identifying content that is both accessible and reliable. I would definitely work with our librarian to craft this unit and make it as meaningful and current as possible!
