Learning+Objectives

Please list learning objectives you believe technology promotes and may be achieved through the implementation of technology.

1) Technology implementation in classroom instruction provides interactive learning experiences for students to build upon and revise their existing knowledge.

2) Technology implementation in classroom instruction provides students with opportunities for peer collaboration and enhances student communication.

3) Technology implementation in classroo​m instru​ction can stimulate and develop writing comprehension and literacy skills.

These are two I thought of. Can you think of any others? Maybe we could decide upon three objectives technology helps teachers achieve and then post the three objectives on each page (elementary, middle and high school). We can then provide examples at each grade level of what technology, website, webquest, program, etc. supports each of the objectives.


 * Here's an example of what we might do on the elementary page, combining info from what has been listed on that page already with one of the objectives above:**

1) Technology implementation in classroom instruction provides interactive learning experiences for students to build upon and revise their existing knowledge. Examples of how this may be accomplished are: ( we can add annotations to these descriptions)

2) Technology implementation gives educators unlimited access to information which can be turned into knowledge. A ppropriately used, interactively and with guidance, media can become a tool for the development of higher order thinking skills.

 * Virtual field trips can be used prior to a lesson to explore goals and objectives of the lesson.
 * A virtual trip can be created after a lesson to reinforce goals and objectives.
 * A virtual trip can also be integrated into a specific unit of instruction to research and familiarize the students with the subject.
