This study also comments on the impacts of
teacher technology use on several aspects of student performance and behaviour.
This might be because of an increase in accessible resources and a change of policies and expectations for
teacher technology integration in school districts.
The study described in this paper attempted to utilize the current research to advance the knowledge
about teacher technology self - efficacy.
It adds to the literature about ways teachers use mobile 1:1 technology in the classroom and the ways specific PD increases
teacher technology self - efficacy.
The study team will analyze data
on teacher technology use and response to coaching, as well as student assignment completion and writing scores on the state history exam.
As to what those incentives might be; in towns I've worked in, there was a lot of talk about
teacher technology capabilities, teacher competencies, and teacher time, and about providing structures that support teachers learning to use technology.
Paraskeva et al. (2006) stated that teachers needed to overcome their resistance to technology by having PD that is specific to the teachers» content needs, while Mueller et al. (2008) found that
focusing teacher technology learning within a classroom context improved teacher confidence and displayed technology as a potential instructional tool.
This discovery is especially germane for teacher education programs, as it suggests that simply
addressing teacher technology standards in preservice teacher education may not be sufficient for preparing future educators to implement technology effectively in their classrooms.
2013 The Iowa iPad Project, initiated with a gift from Linda Baker, gives
future teachers the technology and training needed in 21st - century classrooms.
Internal barriers include attitudes, beliefs, and self - efficacy with technology, which all
impact teacher technology integration (Kim et al., 2013).
As one example of authentic learning PD experiences, O'Hara et al. (2013) provided 16
teachers a technology PD program with demonstrations of experts using technology in language teaching strategies, technology - enhanced curriculum design, and instructional practices.
Empirical evidence has been presented to support the importance of dispositions
in teacher technology use.
Last school year ~ I worked with one brilliant young lady ~ who could perform math and reading at three levels above her grade ~ recite hundreds of historical facts from memory ~ and trouble - shoot
the teachers technology problems ~ but when you gave her a county - required essay prompt to hand - write ~ she would stand in the corner and cry.
Just giving
the teachers the technology without further training in how to incorporate it in the classes makes it pointless and unnecessary in my opinion.»
Participation in the 1:1 programs was associated with increased student and
teacher technology use, increased student engagement and interest level, and modest increases in student achievement.
This comprehensive analysis of your school or district's current use of technology includes
a teacher technology survey to measure staff comfort with and use of technology; interviews with teachers and principals; targeted professional development; a series of focus groups with district stakeholders; and classroom walkthroughs to collect data on strategies and technologies teachers are using, the context of instruction, and the learning that is occurring.
Teacher technology change: How knowledge, beliefs, and culture intersect.
Enabling rich social interactions with peers and
teachers Technology can facilitate the transmission of real - time data among students and teachers, enabling formative, actionable feedback that can enrich the learning process.
To start off, Thinking Spatially Using GIS (Napolean & Brook, 2008) offers K — 12
teachers technology - based activities to help them approach school curricula using the lens of spatial intelligence.
