jrucksThis article focuses on two main points. The first point is that technology is a tool that can change the nature of learning. The author describes how technology can be used to create an active learning environment and what that looks like. She also explains that the activities and learning environment have to be guided and structures in order to engage students in their learning. It focuses on the concept that students are not learning the technology, but the technology is being used for authentic learning.
The second point is that teachers must determine how technology tools are used, and have a hand in designing the staff development process that trains them. She suggest that teachers be involved in the implementation and integration of technology planning rather than leaning on others’ ideas. The author advises that teachers need support from all stakeholders in the educational community in order for technology use to be successful in their classrooms., and that teachers must work on educating themselves on how to use these tools in order to enhance their teaching and student learning. -

shaageThis Education World article by Lynne Schrum, a past ISTE president, discusses ways that technology can be integrated into the classroom. The author also discusses how educators play an important role in implementing technology and also in their own professional development regarding technology integration. While this article was originally written in 2000, it was updated again in 2005. I found this article helpful in guiding my own use of technology in the classroom.

Technology lends itself to exploration. But before technology can be used effectively, exploration must be valued as important to both teaching and learning.
-
Students must learn that exploration doesn't mean just running around doing what they want and ending up who knows where. Educators must recognize that if students are investigating and asking questions, writing about what they're learning, and doing those things in an authentic context, then they are learning to read and write and think.

In a technology-rich classroom, students don't "learn" technology. Technology merely provides the tools to be used for authentic learning. It is a means, not an end.

hose of us who remember the 1980s, when computers were first making their way into our classrooms, probably also remember a great deal of bad software. As educators, we were unfamiliar with the technology and uncertain about its possibilities. So we stepped back and let software developers, hardware vendors, and other technicians define not only what we could buy but also how those products would be used.

Technology is a tool that can change the nature of learning.
-
The real world is not broken down into discrete academic disciplines. I've heard a number of teachers say that they would like to be able to change the way they teach -- to find ways to implement project-based, multidisciplinary lessons. Let's think about how that might happen when technology is used to support learning.
-
Technology lends itself to exploration. But before technology can be used effectively, exploration must be valued as important to both teaching and learning.
-
In such an environment, acquiring content changes from a static process to one of defining goals the learners wish to pursue. Students are active, rather than passive -- producing knowledge and presenting that knowledge in a variety of formats.
-
In such an environment, educators can encourage a diversity of outcomes rather than insisting on one right answer. They can evaluate learning in multiple ways, instead of relying predominately on traditional paper and pencil tests.
-
And perhaps most importantly, teachers and students can move from pursuing individual efforts to being part of learning teams, which may include students from all over the world.
-
It's important to recognize that this kind of learning takes practice -- for both the teacher and the students.
-
Activities and learning environments must be carefully guided and structured so learners are fully engaged in their learning. Students must learn that exploration doesn't mean just running around doing what they want and ending up who knows where. Educators must recognize that if students are investigating and asking questions, writing about what they're learning, and doing those things in an authentic context, then they are learning to read and write and think.
-
In a technology-rich classroom, students don't "learn" technology. Technology merely provides the tools to be used for authentic learning. It is a means, not an end.
-
What will it take to realize the full potential of that opportunity? First, teachers must insist on being part of the planning for technology integration, rather than merely the recipients of other people's ideas.
They must work together to create exemplary units, and then they must share their experiences with one another.
-
In order to successfully infuse technology into their classrooms, teachers must have the support of all stakeholders in the educational community. They must resist the notion that learning to use the "gadgets" is an end in itself.
-
They must provide desperately needed leadership to find the best ways of using technology to enhance teaching and learning. They must expect and demand the best and most interesting software to enhance their educational goals. They must be included in planning the technology implementation -- and be encouraged to experiment with the available tools.
-
Finally, teachers must educate themselves on how to best use those tools to enhance teaching and learning.

Lynne Schrum, past president of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), is an associate professor in the department of instructional technology at the University of Georgia. Her research, teachings, and writings focus on issues related to distance education, specifically online learning. Schrum also investigates the uses of technology in K-12 environments and identifies ways to support educators in the effort.

we've entered an era in which technology is no longer an intimidating novelty. Its use in business and industry is both accepted and expected.

Technology lends itself to exploration. But before technology can be used effectively, exploration must be valued as important to both teaching and learning. In a technology-rich classroom, students might search the Web for information, analyze river water, chart the results, and record what they've learned on the computer.
