Reading Assignment #3: My Reflections on Technology Integration

 

 

Review Hooper & Rieber's article Teaching with Technology and try to understand the following questions.

  1. Can technology improve the quality of education? Why or why not in your opinion?

  2. Why has technology consistently failed to impact education?

  3. Compare and contrast "product" and "idea" technologies. How would you use technology in the classroom?

  4. How did the high school you attended use technology in the classroom?

  5. Describe the teaching traits of a teacher whom you believe to be effectively using technology. Where would you place that teacher on the continuum of technology adoption? Explain your decision.

  6. Do you have a vision related to the use of educational technology in your own future classroom? Do you have a plan? What do you want your future students to accomplish with educational technology? 

  7. What do you think is thoughtful use of technology in schools? What does it look like? What does it mean to integrate technology? How might you organize the use of different tools you learned from this course and apply them into your teaching? Use examples to illustrate your ideas.

Write a couple of sentences to show that you have read the article and you have thought about the above questions.
