• Standard 1: Facilitate and Inspire student learning and creativity. Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face to face and virtual environments (iste.org/standards).

• Standard 2 Design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments. Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS-S (iste.org/standards).

Technology Standards

ISTE and common core

Projectors can be used by teachers to show instructional videos, graphics, and presentations. Teachers can project anything from their computer, and if connected to the internet, anything from the world wide web. Visuals are a critical component of many classrooms (Lever-Duffy, McDonald 201) pg. 295. “Projection tools such as a digital projector or document camera can offer teachers a unique way to share images in a large group setting” pg. 298.

Show an educational movie/cartoon/lecture/video Show a presentation you created Show a graphic that explains your lecture or

concept Have students video their assignment and share

with class Project a book and read together as a class Demonstrate how to highlight, annotate and

mark up text Browse the world wide web together as a class Show maps, charts, graphics and images

Document camera is a video camera, mounted on a stand, that captures and projects an image of whatever is placed on the stand’s document table. It plays the image through a video monitor or an LCD display. Document Cameras help teachers display visuals or a text page without first having to create a transparency from them (Lever-Duffy, McDonald 2011).

Mobile devices have launched a new interaction with students. Students are engaged and excited to take exams on devices. Students who struggle with attention now are listening and engaging in the books. “In the area of mathematics education, web applications for the iPod touch provide many ways for students to practice and explore computational problems” (Kiger, D., Herro, D., Prunty, D., 2012). A common theme in all the accounts of integrating iPods in the classroom is the ease with which faculty and students can generate and distribute content (Brookshire, 2007).

What you can do with an iPod

Limitless access to books at minimal cost Small and held in hand Content engaging and interactive Read to reader Digitized text to speech feature Built in dictionary Adjustable font size Test reading comprehension/test preparation

Mobile Electronic Device

Electronic books provide new opportunities and extended possibilities for personal interpretation of and engagement with texts. Larson, L.C. (2009). e-Reading and e-Responding: New Tools for the Next Generation of Readers. Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 53(3), 255–258. Digital note-taking features engage students in the reading. Students are able to comment, highlight, annotate with a simple touch and type. As more books are being created electronically with engaging graphics and links, students are able to gain more information. Having the ability to listen and follow along at the same time increases attention.
