Keri Haws, Annemarie Mortensen, Kyle Fogg
New Technologies/ “New Literacies”
New Literacies• Literacy-the knowledge,
understanding, and ability to read and write
• “New literacies”-the knowledge, understanding, and ability to use new technologies in today’s world http://png.groveses.schoolfusion.us/mod

Why is it Important
• Technology continually advances, and has started to enter the classroom
• It is important that teachers are “literate” in these new technologies so that they know how to best convey information to their students
Smart Boards vs. Dry Erase/Chalk Boards
Chalkboards/Dry Erase Boards
• Display information and concepts
SMART boards• Connects to a computer • Displays desktop image
on SMART board• Interactive whiteboard
for students http://schools.portnet.k12.ny.us/~jgilmartin/FOV1-00042185/
Transparencies vs. Projectors and Power Point
Transparencies – Have to write all work by hand– Need to erase the transparency – Cannot save all work written on transparencies– Sometimes hard to see from far away in the
classroom
Transparencies vs. Projectors and Power Point (con’t.)
Projectors – Shown on large screen/easier reading– Can see in color – Space saver
Power Point – Able to save all of your work on Power Point – Easy to create – Show images/animations– Can link to the internet
Advantages of using Power Pointhttp://www.ehow.com/list_5806083_advantages-microsoft-powerpoint.html
Internet vs. Textbook
Textbook– Reading straight from the
book
Internet – Able to see visuals – Use resources online to
find articles, books, etc– Gather information – Communication – Connects to
projector/displays to class http://wa.easterseals.com/site/PageServer?pagename=WADR_growingyears
Teacher student Interactions
– Student not being able to relate to the teacher
– Students are embarrassed to ask questions so they get left behind
– Teachers cant focus on one student
– Teachers lose enthusiasm after teaching the same material
– Students may lose interest in class
Interactive Computer Learning– Students have same
curriculum– Students pay more
attention– Students results are
standardized and put into data Ex. D2L
– Interactive learning software can be fun and challenging
