Seamless Technology Integration

Definition
Occurs when technology is readily accessible and used with consistency in the classroom and school to support curricular goals and objectives. Effective integration usually requires a shift in pedagogical practice that is less teacher-centric while creating a student-centered and inquiry-based environment that fosters the opportunity for collaboration, student acquisition, and analysis of information using the tools available. 
Term

 

 

What are the uses of technology in the classroom?  (2 main things)

Definition

1. The use of technology should also increase efficiency and allow for the organization and management of instructional and non-instructional data. 

2. Technology should also increase the ease at which the teacher extends learning, provides differentiated instruction, and offers timely and meaningful feedback for students.

21st Century Skills

Definition

A term used to describe a broad spectrum of abilities and habits that educators are responsible for providing students in order to prepare them for future endeavors - including college, career, or otherwise.  Although no specific definition of these abilities exists, most would agree that critical thinking, problem solving, self-directed learning, teamwork, the ability to communicate ideas, adaptability, leadership, creativity, and digital literacy are at the top on the list.

 

Term

 

 

Collaborative Learning Platform

Definition

A digital tool used in the classroom to provide a real-time collaborative work environment that enables students and teacher to share files, contribute to discussions, take and administer assessments, provide frequent and meaningful feedback within or outside of the classroom.

 

Term

 

 

What is ICT?

Definition
Information, Communication, and Technology in the classroom refers to any digital tools that are used to create, disseminate, organize, or display information. Examples can include: Internet, computers, laptops, mobile devices, productivity programs, collaborative learning platforms, VoIP, response software, email, blogs, websites etc…
Term

 

 

Scripted/Closed Box Instruction

Definition

Instruction designed around lessons that place the teacher at the center of the lesson thereby limiting the students’ ability to explore and problem-solve.  Examples of a closed-box lesson are evident when most of the instruction is delivered by the instructor (or text) with methods, outcomes, and assessments that are predetermined.

 

Term

 

 

eTransformation

Definition

 

The three stages an individual will experience as they increase technical literacy (amongst themselves and their students) while incorporating various digital tools into their lessons in an effort to transform teaching and learning.

 

Term

 

 

Sage on the Stage

Definition

Term used to describe the teacher as the center-of-attention in the classroom.  The sage on the stage is oftentimes the primary vehicle for delivering content and understanding.

 

Term

 

 

Collaborative Learning Platform

Definition
A digital tool that enables the teacher to facilitate learning using a program that places all members of the class in a digital environment.  This platform provides a digital workspace that is private to the student and teacher, but can also serve as a forum for sharing and communication amongst all group members.
Term

 

 

Problem-based Learning

Definition
PBL a student-centered instructional strategy that poses students with a dilemma or problem that drives their exploration and knowledge building.  PBL-styled lessons provide students with the freedom to learn the way they learn best.  This approach to instruction places the burden of responsibility for knowledge acquisition, analysis, and communication on the student.  Students are able to formulate their own solutions to the problems while supporting their claims with research.
Term

 

 

Flipped Classroom

Definition

is an instructional strategy that “flips” the traditional classroom practice of providing content and instruction in the classroom while homework and projects get completed at home.   A flipped classroom brings the task of homework/project completion into the classroom while content acquisition is done independently (and usually online and outside of the class environment).

 

Term

 

 

Blended Learning

Definition
Although there is debate as to the agreed upon definition of a blended classroom, this teaching method uses a combination of direct-instructed content delivery, while providing some element of the class instruction via digital tools.  Using this method, students usually have more control over how they complete work and bear more of the responsibility for content acquisition over a traditionally taught class.
Term

Definition

 

 

  • Increased access with technology

  • The power of exploration (problem-solving)
