Think about all the changes. . .
“In 1996, about two-thirds of public schools
had Internet access, according to data from
the National Center for Education Statistics”
(Education Week, 2004)
 But By 2003 . . .

According to Education Week,

“virtually every public school could
go online”
AND
This is almost universal in access
to Internet in all income levels.
(2004)
So, what can we do with all this

students for future

 Did you know that according to
education week, in 2010
83% of Secondary schools offer server
space for teacher web pages and class
materials.
100% of schools keep student data in an
electronic data system.
65% of Secondary schools have
opportunities for distance learning.
 Those are only a few of the
exciting events occurring now!

How do we engage students

and prepare them for future
technologies?
We integrate technology into our
instruction through . . .
Software Demonstrations
applications Problem-solving
Internet resources Discussions
Collaboration Drill-and-practice
Simulations Presentations
Learning games Communication
Tutorials Virtual field trips
Our students can, for example,
make sound recordings or
podcasts

And videos
 Students can work together to
collaborate on a project through the
use of Microsoft Live@edu.
Or
through Google Wave using
Google Docs.
Or
many other resources.

 Why?
According to the International Society for
Technology in Education, Teachers should
integrate technology to:
1. Facilitate and inspire student learning and
creativity.
2. Design and develop digital-age learning
experiences and assessments.

Will we stay the same or will we
look for opportunities to create
new approaches to engage our
students and embrace
technology?
It is time to catch up!
It is time to change!
The time is now!
