About Us. A Practical Guide For Teachers Who Just Got iPads. 64 Ed-Tech Lists for College Professors, Administrators and IT Professionals. Technology is changing rapidly and, as a result, so is higher education. By leveraging the right technology in the right situations, professors can deepen student engagement and improve learning outcomes.
That is the ultimate goal of technology in any education setting. Of course, all of this technology relies on a robust infrastructure to support connectivity and communication. And don’t forget training, supporting and troubleshooting. Technology is a complex beast to tackle, and the introduction of consumer technology on campus has further muddied the issue. Student expectations are rising. Colleges are forced to address every technology issue, from BYOD to cloud-based storage to data-security measures.
At EdTech, we strive to provide the best resources so that administrators, professors and IT professionals can make educated decisions about technology on campus and in the classroom.

Respect, responsibility, and a community-based learning atmosphere promote success at Mount Desert Elementary School, a K-8 public school in Northeast Harbor, Maine. An important aspect of the culture at Mount Desert is allowing students and teachers autonomy to determine what works best in their classrooms for promoting students' learning. Credit: Alyssa Fedele Mount Desert Elementary School is a small, K-8 public school in Northeast Harbor, Maine, that has successfully created a strong learning community that is the basis of the school's academic success. Since 2006, this elementary school has consistently outperformed the state of Maine in the percentage of students at "Proficient with Distinction" or above on state tests, and has been awarded National Blue Ribbon Schools Program status for academic excellence in 2008.
Responsive Classroom An Approach That Helps Build Positive Relationships Using Discipline Challenges as Learning Opportunities Credit: Rebeccas Heniser Making Math Relevant. How to Get Students Ready for Learning. Scott McFarland: Hi guys. Scott: I was a student that probably could have fallen through the cracks pretty easily and I always vowed that if I was ever into education I was going to create a school in which all kids counted and that we did everything in our power for kids. Scott: How are you? Mom: Good how are you? Come on, kids! Scott: Look at you go, Girl!
Mom: I know, we're workin' it! Scott: There is no stopping you! Scott: I just really believe that more than ever before we need to teach kids the skills of self-regulating their emotions. Rebecca Heniser: The social-emotional learning allows me to be a teacher. Rebecca: I would like someone to choose how we're going to transition from our desks to the rug. Emeris: Thumb walk. Rebecca: Thumb walk? Emeris: Quiet and don't talk. Rebecca: One of the things that's crucial with a Responsive Classroom is allowing the kids to take the leadership role.
Julian: The transitions make me feel relaxed and they help me calm down. Project Based Learning | BIE. MOOCs on Campus | Umass Boston EdTech Newsletter. If you’ve been following news reports about higher education, you know that MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), using online technologies to offer courses open to the world, are capturing the imagination of education prognosticators who see them either as benefits or as threats to traditional universities and the students they serve.
UMass Boston is offering its first MOOC this spring, “Molecular Dynamics for Discoveries in Computational Science,” taught by Nishikant Sonwalker, adjunct professor Physics and founder of Synaptic Global Learning , to be followed in June by a second MOOC on Coasts and Communities, and the Center for Innovation and Excellence in E-Learning (CIEE) in the College of Advancing and Professional Studies held a symposium on “The Sustainability of MOOCs in Higher Education” in December to prepare the way. It seems that the upside of MOOCs, the ideal, is that But so far there are downsides as well, including: What might be the gains? M. A. Flipping the Classroom | Umass Boston EdTech Newsletter.
There has been much talk lately about the idea of “flipping the classroom” and two of our own faculty, Mike Milburn of Psychology and Brian White of Biology will be talking about/demonstrating their quite different approaches in a CIT/EdTech forum this week. The idea behind flipping is to use new technologies and resources to move some of what has traditionally gone on in classrooms into an online environment so that students can access the material or engage in the learning activities at any time, opening up classroom time for activities that can deepen students’ learning, whether they involve group problem-solving, teacher to student or student to student coaching and mentoring, or project-based activities. Here are some general principles of flipped learning, according to Jon Bergman, the high school chemistry teacher who may be most responsible for creating a movement around the concept: In the meantime, instructors make use of class time in different ways.
Flipped Classroom - digitalsandbox. Sharing iTunes & iCloud Accounts in a Family. Q: I’m wondering about the best way for my wife and I to use our iTunes and iCloud accounts with iOS 5.1. We each have our own iPhone but are currently sharing an iPad. I also have my own MacBook Air, but we both share a family iMac. Can we use the same iTunes accounts for our apps and music, but different iCloud accounts to keep our contacts and calendars separate? Also, how do we handle things like Photo Stream and sharing pictures? - Erik A: There are a few different ways in which you can approach this depending on your specific requirements.
Firstly, keep in mind that your iCloud Apple ID and your iTunes Store Apple ID do not have to be the same. iCloud The key point here is that you actually can configure more than one iCloud account on a single iOS device or Mac, however there are some limitations to be aware of. Only one iCloud account can be used for Photo Stream, Documents & Data, Storage & Backups, Bookmarks and Find My Device. iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match. Twitter-handbook-for-teachers.pdf.

Professional Development for Educators. What is the Arizona Technology Integration Matrix? The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments.
Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells. What is in each cell? Within each cell of the Matrix one will find two lessons plans with a short video of the lesson.

EDTC 6433: Using Video Analysis to Enhance Student Learning and Performance in PE « Marc Keeney's bPortfolio. Effectively integrating technology into a Physical Education setting in order to further student learning can be a very difficult task.
As PE classes are not held in a traditional classroom in which traditional technology such as computers are present, I need to think outside of the box to find relevant technologies to use in a PE class. Further, I need to ensure that the inclusion of technology in PE is actually benefiting the students’ learning in some way. ISTE 1 states, in part, that “Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments.”
(ISTE, 2008) This standard goes on to specify that teachers will “Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes” (ISTE, 2008).
