DAY 1) Start with what policies are in place

Science and math teachers, for instance, have been told that they can't use traditional overhead projectors to present material to classes, even though the teachers say that in many cases, they're far superior to computers for getting certain concepts across. > When might the traditional method be the best approach to teaching? How can teachers and administrators balance the desire to stay up-to-date with the need to always make sure that teachers can use the techniques and technologies that best suit their students?
 * * For specific examples of how teachers have used technology for teaching, see these two March 2008 //EL// articles: "What's Relevant for YouTubers?" by Johanna Mustacchi (print edition) and "The Book Trailer: Engaging Teens Through Technologies" by Sara Kajder (online only).
 * What is your school's policy regarding technology in school? How was this policy developed? What role did teachers, students, and parents have in the creation of your policy? Do you believe your policy meets the needs of your students? If so, why? If not, what changes would you make?
 * Patrick Welsh, an English teacher at an Alexandria, Virginia, high school, notes in a February 10, 2008, //Washington Post// article ([|www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/08/AR2008020803271.html]) that some teachers, and even students, question the value of their school's many high-tech "gizmos." He writes,

Shifts
1) "The very nature of Information is changing in... (1) " We are no longer limited to being independent readers or consumers of information; ...we can be collaborators in the creation of large storehouses of information" (2)
 * What it looks like
 * What we look at to view it
 * How and where to find it
 * What we can do with it, and
 * How we communicate it"

Write a reflection on Did you Know, or Shift 1 or 2.<span class="wiki_link"> You might want to use these Prompts.

2) "Educators should see seek to integrate literacy rather than integrate technology. If we can <span class="wiki_link_new">rethink what it is to be literate in today's information environment, and integrate that, then the technology will come." (3) 3) The 3R's AND (4)
 * Creativity
 * Communication
 * Collaboration
 * Critical Thinking
 * Decision Making
 * Digital Citizenship
 * Ethics
