Best Practices in Science
 The
Department of Educational Technology promotes examples of best
practices in integrating technology into classroom instruction
by showcasing teachers who are using technology in innovative
ways.
Best Practices in Science:
Meet Linda Shelley
(middle school "Using the Jason Project to Examine Planet
Earth from Its Biological and Geological Development")
Meet
Paul Irwin (5th grade PhotoJam on landforms)
Meet Sandra
Heidecker (middle school "Creating a Digestive Travel
Brochure Using Microsoft Publisher")
Meet Toni Herrmann
(elementary school "Using the EarthKam Exploration Project
to Determine Landforms on Earth")
Characteristics of Technology Best Practices
The following technology characteristics are designed to help
campus leaders identify truly innovative and consistently high-level
technology classroom practices:
- The teacher uses technology in unique and creative ways, invents
new ways to use existing technologies to meet classroom objectives,
and actively seeks out technology solutions when evidence exists
that specific technologies are likely to improve student learning.
- The teacher is skilled in engaging students in technology-enriched
learning activities that are authentic, multidisciplinary, and
directly related to academic standards.
- The teacher consistently weaves technology into many learning
situations, and most learning activities are highly interactive
and responsive to student needs.
- The teacher acts as facilitator of learning, allowing students
to construct their own meaning from the learning activities.
