Here is my powerpoint presentation!

1. How can technology be incorporated in a
classroom?
Nichole Royston

2.  Why should teachers use technology in the
classroom
 How can students benefits by using technology in
the classroom
 Why is integrating technology in education
important
 What are some new integrating technology skills
to bring into the classroom for teachers and
students

3. There three advantages of using technology in the classroom:
Teachers should use technology in the classroom because its wide
•
range of uses and forms that has the potential to reach students of
all learning styles
The interest and motivation that technology induces in students
•
makes its usage in schools important
Teachers better prepare their students for the future when using
•
technology aimed at addressing each learning style

4. Technology use in teaching
Using PowerPoint

 For teaching lessons
 Giving students visual aids of the topics
Using Internet

 To find information
 To download websites
For example, good websites for teachers teaching K-3 may use:
www.starfall.com
www.funbrain.com
Sending e-mails

 To maintain communication with students
 To maintain communication with parents of your students
Watching a movie

 Downloading video for educational and entertaining purposes in the classroom
www.youtube.com

5. Educators aim to use technology to enhance individual learning styles but not

aware of the all the different benefits of using it their teachings.
Technology is continually changing and improving. It is necessary for all teachers

to learn and incorporate technology in their lessons.
If teachers utilizes technology, then their students educational experience will meet

the needs of how to manage information, and develop thinking skills that will
allow them to be competitive in a global market.
Teachers who are incorporating technology in their curriculum are preparing their

students with analyzed information instead of just memorized information.

6. challenged
•More
Students can master basic and advanced skills
required for their future success.
engaged
•More
Learning and developing meaningful information
•More independent
Positively impacting students attitudes towards
learning, building their self-confidence, and self-esteem

7. How technology effect students ability to learn
Technology uses improves performance in all subjects especially in English and Math.

Technology is introduced to all students at every grade level. Teachers have to incorporate the use of

technology in their instructional activities. So I have demonstrated what I compared Wayne Township
ISTEPS scores in the year 1996 to the year 2008. As you can see the score in year 2008 is a slightly higher
than the year of 1996 and one reason is due to the students ability have more use on the computers.

8. Students’ motivation increases when they use technology in the classroom

If educators used technology in the classroom it helps to prepare students for the outside

world
Technology can offer resources and experiences that books are not able to offer.

Students are more excited about doing their work and feel less pressure when working on

computer.

computers contribute to learning, Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 19, 115-128.

9. For Teachers:
Technology allows teachers to demonstrate different strategies for learning.

Technology is used in training to help organize and provide the necessary tools and

skills to become better educators.
Technology gives teachers a way to connect with each other and extend the

learning experience.
For example, using a camera to capture moments and upload them into a slide show for parents to
see also!
For Students:
Provides students the tools to enhance their learning.

Students can understand their technology experiences through

verbal, written, spatial, quantitative, and graphical display
Using technology is a great way to have fun while they are learning.

For example, creating graphs is more effective using the programs on the computer.

10. The earliest blogs started in late 1990s

Blogs are websites that individuals create for online diaries

Blogs show the most recent entries first

Blogs are used for personal, educational, political, and business purposes

Blogs include: text, images, links, pictures, video, and audio just to name a few

There are over 100 million blogs with more creating blogs everyday

nroyston1.blogspot.com

11. Blogging is a great way to stay in touch with parents and students.

They can incorporate blogs into their lesson from K-12 because it is our future.

Teachers can share ideas through networking with one another

Teachers can use their blogs to speak on issues pertaining to their teaching style

and receive feedback through their comments
Teachers can collect and organize information pertaining to subject areas that

involve the use of technology

12. Educational technology has demonstrated a significant positive effect on

achievement within all major subject areas for students in grades K-16.
Educational technology has been found to have positive effects on student

attitudes toward learning and on student self-concept.
The level of effectiveness of educational technology is influenced by the specific

student population, the software design, the teacher's role, how the students are
grouped and the level of student access to the technology.
Introducing technology into the learning environment has been shown to make

learning more student-centered, to encourage cooperative learning, and to
stimulate increased teacher/student interaction.
Courses for which computer-based networks were used increased student-student

and student-teacher interaction, specifically with lower-performing students, and
did not decrease traditional forms of communication.
