Project M3: Models themselves and in classrooms when they teach. computers into the classroom curriculum assistfaculty members with integrating technology into teacher education http://education.wichita.edu/m3/models/default.htm
Extractions: In learning to teach, most often we start with modeling the way we were taught and using models of instruction developed by experts similar to teaching manuals, workbooks, and lab manuals. When we ask faculty and students to integrate technology into instruction, we are asking them to do something that they themselves have never experienced. The underlying premise in our first technology grant, EXCITE , was that WSU faculty members would have to know and understand how technology works and can work for students. By modeling appropriate use of technology in their classrooms students would see how technology might be used. If students experienced the use of technology in classrooms, they would feel comfortable using it themselves and in classrooms when they teach. The first M in Project M3 is Models which includes WSU faculty and practicing teachers modeling the effective use of technology and integrated teams of curriculum and technology students and specialists developing technology integration projects for students ( TIPS ) or models of practice. An outgrowth of the TIPS model is the Handheld Educators Leadership Program (

Students not only have assigned computer time, but various learning styles are addressed. Students spend one-half of their rotation time working with the teacher on new skills, being tested over their comprehension, or working on assignments. The other half of the student's time is spent doing hands-on or collaborative activities as well as computer assignments that correlate with the activities being taught in the group with the teacher.

Creating interest in technology integration. Establishing the need for workshops/training. Publicizing technology training. Publicizing the technology training opportunities for SCSU faculty takes many forms. They are "advertised" on the SCSU listserv for faculty and staff, publicized in the university newsletter UNews (both hard copy and WWW), paper notices addressed each faculty member for FCTE sessions, and word of mouth. Attendance varies from three or four (rare exception) to full session (with additional sections scheduled). Faculty are encouraged to "bring a friend or colleague" for sessions. Administrative Support/Recognition Remuneration/Incentives for Faculty Training Remuneration, whether it be in the form of release time or actual dollars, is very limited. Faculty, except in very rare cases, must learn these new technologies, media, and skills "on their own" and "on their own nickel." The statewide faculty contract currently allows for negotiation between a dean and an instructor teaching a course
Extractions: Theory As We Teach With Technology Dolores Fidishun, Ed.D. Head Librarian Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies 30 E. Swedesford Rd. Abstract Introducing technology into the curriculum means more than just making it work. The principles of adult learning theory can be used in the design of technology-based instruction to make it more effective. Malcolm Knowles theory of andragogy allows teacher/facilitators to structure lessons which are part of a relevant learning environment for adults students. Introduction What is Andragogy? Andragogy is a set of assumptions about how adults learn. Its roots can be traced back to Alexander Kapp, a German grammar teacher who used it to describe Platos educational theory (Knowles, Holton, and Swanson 1998, 59). It appeared again in 1921 when another German, Social Scientist, Eugen Rosenstock claimed that adult education required special teachers, special methods, and a special philosophy. (Knowles, Holton, and Swanson 1998, 59) There is evidence that discussion of andragogy continued in Europe until Dusan Savicevic, a Yugoslavian adult educator, first discussed the concept in the United States. Malcolm Knowles heard about the term and in 1968 used it in an article in Adult Leadership . From that point on, Knowles has become known as the principle expert on andragogy although numerous adult educators including Brookfield (1986), Mezirow (1991), Lawler (1991) and Merriam (1999) have addressed the concept and/or discussed how it can be used to facilitate adult learning.
Extractions: Research for Better Schools T The Participants Nine educational sites agreed to identify an Internal Change Facilitator (ICF) who would partner with an outside supporting agent, Research for Better Schools (RBS), to gain full Internet access. The ICF administrator received notice that RBS would work with the education site to explore the phenomenon of introducing Internet into an educational system. The study was supported by funds from two federal programs, the Mid-Atlantic Eisenhower Consortium for Mathematics and Science Education and the Laboratory Network Program (LNP), a collaborative of 10 regional educational laboratories. Seven schools and two intermediate service agencies, the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit (MCIU) in Pennsylvania and the Educational Resources and Informa-tion Center (ERIC) in New Jersey, entered into a partnership with RBS to learn the use of Internet. Seven schools represented K-12 sites including urban, rural, public, and private schools, and were dispersed throughout the region served by RBS: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. A technical systems director and a facilitator from RBS, the external change facilitator (ECF) were directly responsible for the training and technical assistance offered each of the nine ICFs. Procedure Phase 1, from April to June 1993 focused on connecting each site to Internet service from JvNCnet, a mid-level NFSnet member, to gain access to an educational database developed by RBS. The database contained four categories of information:
Extractions: by Marianne Handler/National-Louis University The computer as a tool for students and teachers is not going to disappear from our world; not from business, not from home use and not from the school. Yet, even with that knowledge many teachers are still concerned and uncomfortable with finding ways in which a variety of technology-based experiences can expand and enhance what is happening in their classrooms. In order to alleviate theses concerns and discomforts, the learning community, made up of teachers and students, is finding new ways of working and learning together. These changes are not easy. Helping teachers develop their skills during a transition period takes time and effort. Teachers are aware that change is never comfortable and that time and effort will be required. It is important for the school administration to provide the time and support necessary for teachers to explore and experiment with the range of ways the technologies can be woven into the school environment and curriculum. When describing the ways computers can be integrated into the curriculum it is important to think of using this resource as another tool available to students, rather than to think of 'teaching computers" as a subject onto itself.

Extractions: Advertisement Integrating Technology into the Classroom Six years ago, the internet was limited both in what it could do and in who used it. Many people had heard the word but did not have a clue what it was. Today, most teachers have not only been exposed to the internet but also have access at home or at school. In fact, a large number of schools are being retrofitted to place the internet in every classroom. Even more exciting than this is the newest technology: Wireless. A school can purchase a 'Portable Classroom'. This consists of laptops networked together, allowing students to work at their desks WITHOUT wires. If the laptops are networked to a printer, students can print from their personal computer to the classroom printer. Imagine the possibilities! Research is the number one reason to use the internet in education. Students have a wealth of information open to them. Often, when they are researching obscure topics, school libraries do not have the needed books and magazines. The internet helps solve this problem. Here's an example of a great research project: Using this site's new

Extractions: Objection: Teachers hardly have enough time to do all that is expected of them as it is. Where do we find the time to implement this into the curriculum without 'wasting time'? Possible Solution: Teachers have to do what works for them. The internet, just like any other available technology, is one more tool. It is a supplement, nothing more. Many times information can only be passed on through books and lectures. If you feel that integrating the internet is important, just try one project in a year. That will be enough to expose the students to what is available.
