After reading chapter twelve of Transforming Learning with New
Technologies. The most important concepts I found interesting were :
Stages of Technology Integration
Nowadays, it's so
important for teachers to integrate technology into their classrooms. However,
there are five stages when it comes to where you are with technology as a
teacher. The five stages are Entry, Adoption, Adaption, Appropriation,
and Invention.
First Stage: Entry
In the
Entry stage, teacher needs to gain specific skills in how to use computers and
technologies before she or he is able to think about how to apply new knowledge
to classroom situations .
Second Stage: Adaption
In the Adaption stage, the teacher knows enough to use technology
in the classroom but only at a basic level and only occasionally.
Third Stage: Adaptation
In the Adaptation, the teachers fully integrate new technology
into a traditional classroom practice meaning the teacher use technology in
regularly as part of teaching.
Fourth Stage : Appropriation
At the Appropriate stage, a teacher is using technology to
as both and in the classroom and outside the classroom tool.
Fifth Stage: Invention
At the invention stage, a teacher is exploring new ways to
creativity use technology in and out of the classroom as well as adding
emerging technologies to personal repertoire of professional skills
and practices.
Technology Integration Issues
There are six major issues that take place in a classroom
that directly affect the teachers efforts to integrating technology into
teaching.
1. Administration
Support And Teaching Skills:
This
issues is due to the lack of support from teachers who don't wanting to change
their teaching style. Many teachers don't want to add technology into a
classroom nor they want to be trained and be open minded in learning today's
technology.
2.Unwillingness To
Change Favorite Lesson Plans:
This
issue is due to teachers who don't want to change their classroom favorite
lesson plan to involve new technologies. This teachers are old school and don't
want to learn about today's technology.
3. Relavtance To Use
Technology In The New Lesson Plans:
This
issue is due to teachers not wanting to add new technology into their classroom
lessons that they have never taught. This teachers are not willing to give a
little more extra time to their students to help them understand the
technology.
4.Use Of Technology As A
Reward Or Punishment:
This
issue is due to teachers using computers as an rewards or punishments instead
of an educational tool. This strategy can is used to enhance their students learning.
5.Use Of Technology As
An Add On To Other Activities:
This
is when teachers use technology as an add-on to a lesson to help their students
to have a better understanding or cause a distraction in the class lesson
. However, these teachers need to learn when to add technology into their
class lesson.
6.Use Of Technology To
Separate Students By Ability Groups:
This
issue is due to schools using technology to determine academic levels among
students. It helps students to push themselves when their not doing well
academically.
Strategies for Single and Multiply- Computer Classrooms
A
single or multiple computers can successfully transform teaching and learning
in classroom through four Single and Multiply- Computer Classrooms which
are information, Interaction, Presentation and Rotation.
Information: Single or multiply computer and in a classroom perform as always on call librarians and always available tutors for individuals, pairs , or small group. Students can access educational information anytime through websites providing dictionaries, maps, weather pages, video links and story read aloud and a writing formats.
Interaction: Students can access computer and online resources to which they interact with the computer for learning.. An example are online read aloud children's books.

Presentation:The computer becomes a large or small group presentation tool
which connects to a digital projector or television which display add
videos, photos, maps another debates real resources to the presentation
Rotation: Computers become one of the three different learning experience in
one to three times instructional format.Students are divided into groups
that are do learning activities on the computer, complete independent work with
minimal supervision or review the rack academic instructions from the teacher.
