Download or read book Digitally Enhanced Classrooms written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of technology in elementary classroom settings has been increasing every year. Many schools already included computer classes; however, recently there has been a large move towards individualized, or 1:1, technology as well. We now find certain schools have acquired tablets and laptops for each student - fully integrating modern technology with traditional instruction. However, in the effort to keep up with the surge of technology, schools may be ignoring the need for professional development and curriculum planning to support technology as a tool that enhances student learning. While working in an "Apple Distinguished" school that provided individual tablets as learning devices to fourth and fifth grade students, I observed teaching methods with technology. This research study focuses on 1:1 implementation techniques in fourth/fifth grade Language Arts and how students and teachers use these devices. As the researcher, I observed how two teachers used iPads to engage 50 fourth and fifth graders during a two-month observation period. The research data suggests that integrating 1:1 technologies, such as iPads, requires implementation guidelines, curriculum planning, and teacher professional development.

Book excerpt: Textbooks are symbols of centuries-old education. They're often outdated as soon as they hit students' desks. Acting "by the textbook" implies compliance and a lack of creativity. It's time to ditch those textbooks--and those textbook assumptions about learning In Ditch That Textbook, teacher and blogger Matt Miller encourages educators to throw out meaningless, pedestrian teaching and learning practices. He empowers them to evolve and improve on old, standard, teaching methods. Ditch That Textbook is a support system, toolbox, and manifesto to help educators free their teaching and revolutionize their classrooms.
Download or read book A Framework for K 12 Science Education written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.

Download or read book Behavior Analysis Education and Effective Schooling written by John Hummel and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2000-05-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American government makes a great case for being interested in education and claims to take great pains to 'leave no child behind.' Current education-system enhancement strategies emphasize testing and accountability and focus on rewarding or penalizing teachers whose students make statistical headway at exam time. But little is offered to teachers in the way of new, better skills to make their teaching more effective. In Behavior Analysis, Education, and Effective Schooling, four leaders in the field of education-related applied behavior analysis, spell out a case for implementing curricular materials and instructional methods that research has shown to be effective in any classroom at any level. The concise survey includes chapters on achieving educational success, educational theory, schools and schooling. It discusses instructional strategies, classroom management, assessing academic performance, teacher training, and educational myths-all from an applied behavior-analytic point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this quantitative study, students' growth over the course of the school year on the i-Ready test were analyzed. Using an ex post facto design, the i-Ready growth scores of students with experience of the testing format (n = 45) were compared to the growth scores of the students with no experience of the testing format (n = 179). A descriptive analysis was performed to analyze the students' feelings and perceptions about adaptive Computer-Based testing conducted within their schools. Fourth and fifth grade students (n = 27) answered an open-ended survey, which were used to see how elementary school students feel about the shift from Paper-Based to Computer-Based testing. Results indicate that there were no significant differences in scores between students with experience and students without experience, nor were there differences between the achievement of students based on gender or instructional groups. The surveys indicate that students enjoy using computer-based testing, but experienced trouble with navigating through the tests, efficiently using tools, and implementing other self-regulatory behaviors that they often use when working on paper-based tests. This study indicates that more instructional time needs to be spent using computers, in order to teach students self-regulatory strategies that can help students to become more comfortable and adept with computer-based tests. With more explicit instruction, student growth on various assessments may increase.
