TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION WORKSHOPAnalyze a scenario

Students Name: Stacy Hull Chapter: 2

PART A:

Components

What is Known

What Must be
Learned

Technology

What is known is that Mia

wants to "include more
meaningful activities." She
reflects upon her own
teaching and seeks out a
new way to make learning
more meaningful. She
identifies an online project
that she could implement
into her classroom. This
project would include many
different facets of
technology by answering
assigned questions,
designing a brochure, and
taking digital photos. She
believes that she help
students use the Internet and
the email for this project.
She made sure to allow
students time to become
familiar with how to use the
site, browser, and search
engine. She also developed
objectives to measure her
students attitudes, cultural
knowledge, and factual
knowledge which all helped
her to reflect on the success
she had when integrating
technology in to the
classroom.
Mia identified that the
teaching practice being used
was not working as
effectively as she wanted.

She could increase her

knowledge of technology
and look for other ways to
integrate technology to
enhance learning. She
identified one way she
could implement integrating
technology into the
classroom, but she could
also seek out other ways to
integrate technology into
the classroom. Mia needs to
work on her allotted times
for certain tasks. She also
needs to review with her
students before giving them
a test and possibly change
the sequence of things. For
example, have students
complete other tasks prior to
being allowed to take
photos.

Pedagogy

She needs to allow more

time for discussions as well
as a review time. Students
seemed to enjoy the project

Content

She sought out a new

strategy to make learning
meaningful and more
personal to students. She
used the information from a
workshop to enhance her
teaching. She recognized
that students were not
learning as much as they
should.
Mia did not know if she had
enough background
knowledge to create a more
hands-on learning project.

but did not master the

content as was shown by the
test. She might need to
reorganize her time to allow
for reviews, discussions,
and pre-tests to monitor
student progress.

She needs to review what

she is teaching. If she has
more knowledge and
confidence in what she is
teaching, her students would
learn more. As shown in the
summary test, students did
not master the content like
she had planned. She needs
to make sure she is teaching
the content she expects
them to master and allow
time to consistently review
and make sure students are
mastering the information.

PART B: Identify the context and logistical issues in this situation that she must address
to implement this new strategy effectively in her classroom.
Mia would have to spend a lot of time organizing as well as plan far in advance in order
to implement this strategy. In order to partner with schools in different countries, she
would also need to figure out language barriers. She would have to figure out how she
would communicate with the school teachers in the various countries, and how students
would communicate in a way they could understand each other. Mia would also have to
figure out scheduling and how much time to allot for this assignment. This is a great
hands-on activity and provides a great way to integrate technology, but she must be
careful that her students do not fall behind other topics and content they need to master. I
think that it would be important to evaluate how much time can or should be spent for
this activity and make the objectives and goals reasonable within the timeframe.
