Classroom devices• Mid 20th century,

technologies started to affect classrooms, primarily TVs at that time.

• Teachers are the controllers and main resource from which the students learn.

• 1963, Vocational Education Act passes. Schools got more financial support for technical devices in the classroom.

• In the end of 20th century, schools bring computers and internet connect in teaching.

• 21st century, Apple tablets are introduced to classrooms and allow students to interact online.

How did we teach?• Before the technology

blooming in classrooms, teachers basically used textbooks and handwriting demonstration on blackboard for teaching.

• Later on, when radio and imagine were available in the classrooms, students could obtain information more lively and vividly.

• With the development of technology in classrooms, our students are gradually exposed in a multi-resource environment for learning.

Computers• Computers were invented

mid-20th century.• Year 1951, the  first-

generation Univac computer delivered to the US census bureau

• 1955, IBM's first commercial computer is sold. Computers were purchased for military uses in that period of time.

• 1970s, some schools started to bring mini computers into classrooms. Apple 1 computers are donated to schools too.

• Late 1990s, computers and internet are widely used in schools.

Where do we see technology in the CCS Technology is integrated in the CCS in both

English Language Arts Standards and Math Standards.

Instead an expected skill, technology in the CCS is rather more described as a tool for students to approach success.

Both of the Math Standards and the ELA Standards suggested schools use appropriate technologies to allow the most variety of students be ready for their post-school lives, especially the English learners and students with special needs.

Technology & The ELA Standards It requires students who are college and career

ready in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and the language use technology and digital media strategically and capably.

The CCS ELA expects students to start using technology as early as 3 grade, and then gradually build up from there.

By the of time when students finish 12th grade, they are supposed to take advantage of technology for individual and shared writing products and interact in comments

Technology & The Mathematics Standards Students should be acquainted with the

technologies, such as graphing calculators, and then become mindfully user to apply technologies to mathematics.

The CCS Math expects students to draw with technology in geometry, to interpret technology generated scientific notation in expressions, to use technologies for solving systems of equations.

Technology Is A Tool in Mathematics Technology is not defined as specific in Math

Standards as it is in ELS Standards. It is associated to different focuses in math,

such as geometry, linear, statistics and so on, not explained by each grade.

Technologies are mentioned in the standards when students are required to solve higher level or more complicated problems.

Educators and schools must

embrace technology and use it to

enhance the learning experience. 

Educators using and integrating

current technology tools in their

learning curriculum are better

preparing their students for higher

education and the everyday

workforce.

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills is a national organization that advocates for 21st century readiness for every student.

To be effective in the 21st century, citizens and workers must be able to exhibit a range of functional and critical thinking skills related to information, media and technology.

Information, Communication, and Technology Literacy Use technology as a tool to research, organize,

evaluate and communicate information.

Use digital technologies (computers, PDAs, media players, GPS, etc.), communication/networking tools and social networks appropriately to access, manage, integrate, evaluate and create information to successfully function in a knowledge economy.

Apply a fundamental understanding of the ethical/legal issues surrounding the access and use of information technologies.

What is STEM?

STEM stands for a cluster of careers in the fields of:

ScienceTechnologyEngineeringMath

STEM education encourages a

curriculum that is driven by

problem solving, discovery,

exploratory learning, and student-

centered development of ideas

and solutions.

The saturation of technology in

most fields means that all students

– not just those who plan to pursue

a STEM profession – will require a

solid foundation in STEM to be

productive members of the

workforce.Did you know?

Professional Development “Illustrates how a deeper

understanding of subject matter can actually enhance problem-solving, critical thinking, and other 21st century skills”

“Helps teachers develop their abilities to use various strategies (such as formative assessments) to reach diverse students and create environments that support differentiated teaching and learning”

–According to the partnership for 21st century skills

Opportunities currently provided –

STEM committee Technology cohort Classes through the board

Opportunities that would be helpful for the future-

Classes in using different technologies provided by the county

Classes in learning how to utilize interwrite and other smart board technologies

Classroom tools

ELMO Ladybug (3D doc.

Camera) Projector Lap top Mobile labs Interwrite pad Smartboards

Promethium board iPads E-Readers

Future technologies

As for the changed in standards and technology it is going to be imperative that counties provided both mandated and voluntary professional development opportunities.

Though there is no section directly related to technological integration or use, technology is found sprinkled throughout the common core.

It will be expected to be used in different researching and writing mediums.

For Teachers The community Different

community members and organizations have teamed up to provide support and lessons in 21st century technologies for our students, their future employees. (E.X. Verizon- Thinkfinity)
