Summary: The overall idea of engagement using technology is apparent in education. The endless opportunities to differentiate for students while encouraging creativity and self-expression is embedded if you provide students with access to using technology across the academic setting. One-minute videos, pen pals, book reviews, and math scavenger hunts were examples of using technology tools in curriculum. The collaborative learning process, specifically using collaboration tools, creates multiple opportunities for accomplishing learning goals with their peers. Wallwisher, Twtpoll, Photopeach, Fotobabble, Google tools, and Voice Thread, were some tools shared to support collaborative learning.
Q1. Will districts require technology components to be embedded (in curriculum) when district revisit curriculum adoption?
A1. Recently, CUSD adopted the Envision math program that embeds technology and hands-on components in each lesson. Although the pacing is being revisited, students are more engaged. The idea of incorporating video/technology for collaborative learning experiences seems obvious; the more engaged the students are, the more that learning will take place. Providing access to technology is simple; figuring out how to teach, collaborate, and learn from it requires educators to provide students with tools and endless choices for research and assessment.
