Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students today are growing up in a digital world. These "digital natives" learn in new and different ways, so educators need new approaches to make learning both real and relevant for today's students. Marc Prensky, who first coined the terms "digital natives" and "digital immigrants," presents an intuitive yet highly innovative and field-tested partnership model that promotes 21st-century student learning through technology. Partnership pedagogy is a framework in which: - Digitally literate students specialize in content finding, analysis, and presentation via multiple media - Teachers specialize in guiding student learning, providing questions and context, designing instruction, and assessing quality - Administrators support, organize, and facilitate the process schoolwide - Technology becomes a tool that students use for learning essential skills and "getting things done" With numerous strategies, how-to's, partnering tips, and examples, Teaching Digital Natives is a visionary yet practical book for preparing students to live and work in today's globalized and digitalized world.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skills such as information literacy, global awareness, critical thinking, and problem solving have always been part of human development. Today's local and global economies necessitate having these skills for success. The purpose of this study was to gain an overall understanding of teacher perceptions of how their districts' one-to-one (1:1) Chromebook initiative affected their professional practice and the initiative's impact on student achievement of 21st-Century Life and Career Skills. The study was descriptive research conducted through survey research via Google Forms distributed to teachers in three rural New Jersey public middle schools, serving grades six through eight, based on their completion of one academic year implementing the 1:1 Chromebook initiative at the end of the 2017-2018 academic year. The researcher used convenience sampling for this study. The survey instrument was derived from the original survey "One-to-One Laptops in a High School Environment" developed by the Senator George J. Mitchell Scholarship Research Institute with the required permissions to use and adapt. Eighty-one participants volunteered to participate in the survey process. Research data analyzed with SPSS package 24.0 revealed no significant difference between the perceptions of teachers in the study based on the highest educational level they achieved, while teachers' years of experience influenced their perceptions in the area of students acting as responsible citizens and employees. This study will add to the body of existing research on 1:1 initiatives and provide educational leaders with insights based on quantitative data regarding teacher perceptions while planning to implement initiatives for technology integration and curriculum development within their districts.

Download or read book Teachers Perception of Computer Use and Technical Support in a Rural Virginia School Division written by Rodney Lamont Berry and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate teacher perceptions of computer-based technology and technology support provided by a rural school division; the extent of teachers' self reported computer skills, comfort levels, perception of obstacles; and the amount of support, time, and training available to them to accomplish the integration during the course of instruction. This research was conducted during the 2010-2011 school term as a case study of a small rural K-12 school division in southern Virginia, consisting of teachers from each core curriculum from each of the three schools, selected deliberately. The study was divided into three phases: an analysis of the school survey; focus group discussion with teachers; and qualitative data generated from focus group interviews. A major finding was that the teachers contend that classroom practices can be changed if teachers are given time to plan how to integrate technology in instruction, thus better preparing students for the 21st century. To accomplish this change, school leaders need to promote opportunities and remove obstacles that impede effective technology integration, and that additional time, access, and training should be established. Because teacher perceptions impact the success of technology integration and support, it is imperative to provide sufficient time for training on how to utilize available equipment in the classroom. This study also reinforced the importance of understanding teacher perceptions which are as important a resource as the hardware and software in computer-based technology in order to promote the successful integration of computer technology in classrooms.

Download or read book Living and Learning with New Media written by Mizuko Ito and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the results of an ambitious three-year ethnographic study, funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, into how young people are living and learning with new media in varied settings—at home, in after school programs, and in online spaces. It offers a condensed version of a longer treatment provided in the book Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out (MIT Press, 2009). The authors present empirical data on new media in the lives of American youth in order to reflect upon the relationship between new media and learning. In one of the largest qualitative and ethnographic studies of American youth culture, the authors view the relationship of youth and new media not simply in terms of technology trends but situated within the broader structural conditions of childhood and the negotiations with adults that frame the experience of youth in the United States. The book that this report summarizes was written as a collaborative effort by members of the Digital Youth Project, a three-year research effort funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and conducted at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Southern California. John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Reports on Digital Media and Learning
Download or read book A Study of the Application of Emerging Technology Teacher and Student Perceptions of the Impact of One to one Laptop Computer Access written by Rae Niles and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to describe and identify Sedgwick High School0́9s teacher and student perceptions of the impact of one-to-one laptop computer access using an appreciative inquiry theoretical research perspective and the theoretical frameworks of change and paradigm shift. An appreciative inquiry theoretical research perspective was used to structure a qualitative, embedded descriptive case study design. An embedded case study design was used to describe the perceptions of high school teachers and their students who were involved in a one-to-one laptop computer wireless environment on student learning and how teachers teach. Data were collected through teacher and student focus groups, as well as administration of the Left-Hand Right-Hand Column Case Method. Data were analyzed using the comparative analysis matrix method (Miles & Huberman, 1994). The analyzed data revealed six salient findings: (1) Students functioned in the capacity of teacher, (2) technology changed the way teachers and students communicated, (3) the culture of the classroom dynamics between teacher and student changed, (4) technology made learning enjoyable for students, (5) teachers and students believed immersion in a technology-rich learning environment created advantages for student success after high school graduation, and (6) teachers believed that access to ubiquitous technology created new challenges for maintaining student engagement in the learning process. Five of the six findings suggested that technology had changed teaching and learning, and helped to create a paradigm shift in the teacher and student roles. Additionally, those findings also identified the positive core of Sedgwick High School, serving to describe the life giving forces within the organization. One of the six findings revealed challenges associated with the application of emerging technology in the classroom. The findings from this study have the potential to contribute to areas of study that focus on the use of technology in schools. Moreover, research from this study has the potential to help serve as a foundation for other school leaders who are seeking opportunities that prepare students for life in the technology-rich 21st Century through one-to-one laptop computer access.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mixed-method study, conducted in four southeastern Pennsylvania school districts, examined the impact of teacher perceptions of a one-to-one computing program on the growth of student 21st learning skills as well as the impact on student achievement data, as measured by Grade Point Average (GPA) scores and the Pennsylvania System of School Assessments (PSSA) proficiency rates in a middle school setting. The study examined the perceptions of 27 middle school teachers during the fall semester of the 2017 school year. In addition, three years of proficiency rates, from 2015 to 2017, of PSSA scores for each school and GPA data were collected and examined. Proficiency rates for each school were calculated and used to identify trends when compared to the state PSSA proficiency rates as well as the other schools' PSSA proficiency rates that were included in the study. Despite a stable and slightly increasing proficiency rate in overall state ELA and Math PSSA scores over the three years studied, a variable and decreasing trend in proficiency rates was found in the school level PSSA scores for the four schools studied, particularly in mathematics and science. In addition, despite positive perceptions about their districts one-to-one implementation, infrastructure, and leadership, teacher responses indicated concerns regarding the impact computing devices have on student achievement in their classroom, as measured by 21st century learning skills, particularly when it came to critical thinking and creativity.

Download or read book Teacher Perceived Impact of Technology on Elementary Classrooms and Teaching written by Connie M. Crane and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issues surrounding technology integration are varied. Over the last decade, the presence of technology in elementary classrooms has increased; however, research indicates that many teachers are not utilizing these resources effectively. Although research supports the notion that technology in the classroom has an influence on student learning, research also points to the teacher as an important lynch pin in technology integration in the curriculum (Mandell, Sorge, & Russell, 2002). The purpose of this study was to investigate how technology is used and integrated into the elementary curriculum and to explore the influence of technology on student success. The study focused primarily on the teachers' knowledge and skill levels in using and integrating technology into the curriculum and on professional development opportunities in the area of technology use and integration provided to teachers. Using a mixed method comparative design, data were generated from teacher surveys and focus group and individual interviews. Data from the survey questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics. A t-test was used to determine if there was a significant difference between the groups of teachers, including those from a non-technology school and those from a technology school who teach in non-technology and technology classrooms. Focus group and individual interview data were analyzed in order to identify patterns and topics of belief, values, and practices related to the teachers' classroom technology use. The two schools in this study were an elementary school (technology school) that has an intensive technology program (eMINTS) and another elementary school (nontechnology school) that does not have an intensive technology program. The following subgroups of teachers from the schools were included in the study: a) teachers in grades K-3 of both schools b) teachers in the non-technology school grades 1-3 and Non-eMINTS teachers in the technology school K-6 c) teachers in the non-technology school grades 1-3 and teachers in the eMINTS program grades 3-6 d) teachers in the technology school grades 3-6 that were eMINTS teachers and teachers in the same school grades K-6 that were not eMINTS teachers. The findings revealed significant differences between teachers' perceptions of their roles and responsibilities for integrating technology, the influence of technology on student success, and the type of professional development activities conducted. With the eMINTS grades 3-6 versus Non-eMINTS grades K-6 analysis at the technology school, there was a significant difference in beliefs and reality of the teachers. Non-eMINTS teachers perceived greater external pressure to use and integrate technology in the classroom; whereas, the eMINTS teachers in grades 3-6 identified a greater ideology about, competence level in, and resources available for technology. Differences in perceptions about professional development were also found. Qualitative findings for this study revealed three primary themes that appear to be essential to understanding the use and integration of technology in elementary classrooms and the influence of technology on student success. Those primary themes include: (1) barriers to technology integration; (2) importance of technology training; and (3) learning environment.
