How can technology be used most effectively to support and assess student learning?
Cherie said something very profound in class tonight. "When you think of your end project, is it something that could NOT be done WITHOUT technology?" She discussed to use technology not for technology's sake, but to enhance learning and create something you otherwise would not have been able to. This tells me to create meaningful technology experiences and find creative and effective ways to integreate technology into my unit plan. I think technology is engaging for students no matter what, so since we have their undivided attention, we better do something good with it! It is much easier to track student progress and communicate with them about their progress so assessment should be more frequent and individualized. Data and performances will be driving my instruction and technology will allow me to keep track effectively.
That you picked up on the importance of that statement, indicates that you are at a higher level in technology integration. :-)
