  1. Using Student’s Already Developed Technology Skills to Teach Science

  2. Digital Natives Xbox Facebook I-Pads YouTube MySpace I-pods Twitter Cell phones Wii Blogging We need to teach students how to use the tools appropriately and effectively to enhance learning and engage students in science.

  3. So let’s use their savvy to our advantage We need to promote digital literacy and when the technology is accessible, there are tons of options. http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/NETS/ForStudents/NETS_for_Students.htm

  4. Website Design • Student designed- curriculum-based • Library research or online resources • Technology: MS Word and I-web programs Sample: Website: “The Importance of Watersheds”

  5. Podcasts • Student developed audio segment • Research and script prepared ahead of time • Podcast edited and music added • Technology: I-pod with microphone for recording and Garageband, to edit it. • Sample: “Interview a Scientist 1” and “Interview a Scientist 2”

  6. Movies/Videos • Students create a script and gather necessary items to begin filming • Focus: student interpretation of content and skills • Technology: Photobooth, I-movie, flip camera • Example: I-movie “Forest Study”

  7. Wikis • Allow for fluid online communication • Encourage quieter kids to speak out in words • Teacher can post assignment. Students can read assignment and comment or edit assignment also communicate with each other. • Facilitate peer assessment and collaboration • Sample: Research for Global Climate Change Debate

  8. Article Review and Comments

  9. More Comments

  10. Debate Communication

  11. Google Docs • Encourage collaboration like wikis • Students can create surveys, and share documents- word processing, spreadsheets, etc.

  12. Lab Quest and Data Collection Probeware • Used to collect data in different environments • Vernier Lab Quests and Vernier probeware work well alongside the Loggerpro software • Sample: Using a pressure probe and Lab Questto identify the relationship between changes in pressure and volume

  13. Videoconferencing • Provides an opportunity for students to communicate with other students or professionals outside of the school building. • Provides an insight into what other students are thinking and studying • Great for exploring careers • Example: Videoconference: Immune System and HIV virus.

  14. Real World Navy Challenge

  15. Team Web Portal

  16. Webquest design

  17. Technology and Differentiation • Choices to demonstrate the knowledge and skills in the specific content- product DI • Project requirements can be chunked or shortened • Presentation style can accommodate different learners (peer review instead of standing in front and presenting)

  18. Essential Understanding: All students need the experience of using the technology and online resources that are a part of their everyday world. A Vision of K-12 Students
