This will definitely be the most fluid post that I write throughout the course. I think my guiding principles for the use of technology will probably change considerable as I learn more.
When using technology in the classroom (new or old) the following with guide the usage…
- Do I know how to fully use and explain how to use the technology?
- Will the use of this technology benefit my students?
- Also, how will this benefit my students?
- Is this technology something that my students could use outside of my classroom (is it relevant)?
- What is the purpose of using this technology? (Taken from Utecht’s “Evaluating Technology Use in the Classroom”)
- Am I dabbling?
- Does this do old things in old ways?
- Does this do old things in new ways?
- Does this do new things in new ways?
- How will the use of this technology improve my students’ ability to learn the material and develop core life skills?
- ADDED:
- Have I gotten feedback from colleagues on how I plan to use this technology?
- Will my students learn the material better or in new ways by using this tool?
