<p>This article is related to how technology is getting accepted / evoloved in the schools. It addresses the pain areas during any "implementation phase" and also talks about how to mitigate them through simple approaches.</p>

<p><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">For your classroom, what technologies (hardware, software) would you invent and/or develop that would elevate your classroom if you were given the time, money, and resources to do it? Why would you create that/these specific ones? What would be its/their benefit? Please think outside the box, even if it is ridiculous I would like to know. At some point the Wright Brothers were told they were being ridiculous, and look at what it got them. Elaborate on the functions of your technology and how would you go about to implement it.</span></p> Integrating iMovie into the Classroomtag:www.classroom20.com,2013-04-09:649749:Topic:9248162013-04-09T23:41:08.885ZShelby Clarkehttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/ShelbyClarke
I am studying to be a teacher and one of the projects i am doing is an iMovie. I have been thinking about ways that iMovie could be integrated into the classroom. I think it would be great to teach the students to make an iMovie and it would also be great for instruction. Does anyone have any ideas for integrating iMovie.

<p>Over the past couple years, I have started to notice a drastic difference in gaming time vs. independent reading/writing time amongst my students. While we may not be happy with this trend, it is a reality. Currently, I'm trying to base my English Language Arts Curriculum on video game narratives through Kickstarter. I'm reaching out for any help that out-of-the-box educators like yourselves could offer. I think this could be a literal "game-changer" for my students! If you could help me spread the word, you would forever have my gratitude. </p>
<p>Thanks for reading this and the support!</p>

<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-3">Integration of Technology is important for classrooms today and in the future. The idea is not to take away things that are not technology but to use all of the available resources we have. Using all of our resources shows that we are up to learning about new things as well as the old. I am finding that technology is making education more fun for students as well as teachers because it is bringing the hands on approach to the mix. One very cool piece of technology that I feel would make learning more fun for students is Classroom Clickers. Each student in the class would have a wireless handheld response pad, or clicker, with which they are able to answer questions. The teacher would ask a question verbally or through the computer onto a projector or television screen, and the students respond with their handheld device. The links that I have used to research this further are <a href="http://www.educause.edu/ero/article/clickers-classroom-active-learning-approach">http://www.educause.edu/ero/article/clickers-classroom-active-learning-approach</a> and <a href="http://www.engaging-technologies.com/classroom-clickers.html#sthash.F8GoSYnn.dpbs">http://www.engaging-technologies.com/classroom-clickers.html#sthash.F8GoSYnn.dpbs</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-3"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-3">In my ideal classroom setting I would integrate classroom clickers by using them to answer questions with vocabulary or finding the correct spelling for a word. What the students would do is pick the best word that corresponds to the meaning in the sentence given on the screen and/or the correct spelling for that word. I would use them to take polls throughout my lessons, even with younger students to see if they are learning the points that are being covered that day. I would also use the clickers to see what students need more guidance (help) with their work and what students understand the lesson. The immediate feedback from the clickers will be both beneficial to me and the students. It will make grading papers go by faster and it will be fun for the students to see if they got the correct answers right away instead of having to wait.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-3"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;" class="font-size-3">The equipment I would need for my classroom would clickers for every student or wireless handheld response pads. The clickers sell for about $40.00 in stores and on Amazon. I would also need a projector or television screen to project the questions on, especially for elementary aged students, who need to see and hear instruction.</span></p>

<p>Learning, as we all know, is a lifelong process- one that is dependent on a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to: location, culture, and the numerous methods of teaching.</p>
<p>The word philosophy refers to one’s perspective or approach regarding a certain facet of the world, and it too is shaped by a colorful assortment of factors. Culture, in having the greatest impact on one’s philosophy, is perhaps the most eminent factor.</p>

<p>Learning, as we all know, is a lifelong process- one that is dependent on a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to: location, culture, and the numerous methods of teaching.</p>
<p>The word philosophy refers to one’s perspective or approach regarding a certain facet of the world, and it too is shaped by a colorful assortment of factors. Culture, in having the greatest impact on one’s philosophy, is perhaps the most eminent factor.</p>
<p>During my formative years, I was taught in a very traditional fashion, which is teacher will stand at the front of the class and use the chalk and backboard to teach us math, science, language in a direct and often single-minded manner. A dynamic approach to teaching that made use different mediums was a technique as yet unheard of. Students had to listen to the teacher’s instructions and follow the direction explicitly. Textbooks, notebooks, pencils, etc., were essential requirements that each student needed for daily lessons.</p>
<p>Today, the tools needed for learning have become much more diverse. The classroom environment has evolved to include computers, smart board, digital calculator, projector, and even iPads, among others. Digital devices have become an integral part of one’s learning environment, both within the classroom and beyond.</p>
<p>As both a digital immigrant and now a technology teacher, it is important that I am constantly connected with digital world, up to date with the latest technologies and how they’re used and in tune with their constant development. It is my personal belief that technology is a shapeless entity, constantly shifting and evolving, and we, as teachers have a duty to keep up with the pace in order to be effective.</p>
<p>My personal philosophy regarding learning has been shaped throughout the years by my previous career. Originally coming from a computer engineering background, I have been involved in the education field for about 5 years. My previous career path endowed me with the experience of being patient in troubleshooting issues related to computer repairs, application problems, and also in the methods of teaching and training fledgling computer users. Changing my career and becoming an official computer teacher has given me the chance to transfer my previous experience and share it with others at the schools I work for.</p>
<p>Learning is a two-way road. Though I teach students, and they learn from me, I also learn from them. I like to open conversations with my students as well as my colleagues. Genial conversation will inevitably lead to meaningful discussion.</p>
<p>I also believe being allowed to choose how to learn will foster student engagement and motivation. Freedom of choice enables student empowerment, which will incite a positive response from the students. In addition, I often look for different professional developments related to how technology maybe responsibly integrated and taught at K-12 schools to enhance my students’ learning experien</p> Which technologies are most effective in the classroom?
