Technology-Enhanced Instruction Digital Presentation Assignment

After learning much about digital tools and integrating technology into instruction, I

realized who much is involved in changing the thinking of peers through information. The

following paper contains my linked digital presentation and its accompanying reflection.

Digital Presentation

My notes were written as what I would say to the audience listening. This is the link for

my presentation:

Reflection

I chose to have my presentation based on technology in the early childhood classroom

because that is my area of specialty, specifically early childhood special education.

Materials Chosen

When first looked for articles relating to my field and technology, I found it very difficult

to locate some, so I bookmarked the articles and websites that I did find. I was not able to use

some of them for previous assignments, but I saw that they fit perfectly with this assignment.

The ISTE website offered a lot of information on different pages, and the peer reviewed course

materials were also beneficial.

I chose to use Google Slides because my district frequently uses Google apps and I am

very comfortable with them. Also, the people to which I would be presenting, would be part of

that network, so they would also be able to navigate through the slides or read and add

comments. I chose to use Bloom’s Taxonomy because that has been a push in my district and

everyone would already be familiar with that model. I chose to mention SmartBoards and

Tablets because my building just got new SmartBoards and tablets for everyone, but no one is

trying to use them. We also have quite a few assistive technology devices (BIGmacks, Small

Talks, etc), but only a handful of people use those for their students. I also chose to focus on an

example of using picutres from the internet because I heard at least five people talk about getting

pictures from the internet, today.

Facilitating Future Learning Experiences

This presentations is especially helpful for educators in early childhood or primary grades

because the examples and terminology is familiar to them. There are many more upper primary

and secondary issues with the internet and digital tools, so people seem to forget that younger

children and their teachers also need support in this area.

The 21st Century Educator

I think that the dispositions with the biggest effect on teaching and learning would be

self-efficacy, initiative, adaptability, intellectual curiosity, collaboration, communication,

problem solving, critical thinking, self-awareness, and social and personal responsibility. I chose

these because I believe that those are the skills and behaviors that describe life-long learners and

people who remain open to ideas from others.

Conclusion

Technology is a great tool meant to enhance instruction, not replace it.
