Together we will make sure that every child learns and no child is left behind." President George W. Bush At the heart of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is a promise to raise standards for all children and to help all children meet those standards. In support of this goal, President George W. Bush is committed to promoting the very best teaching methods. Well-trained teachers and instruction that is based on research can bring the best teaching approaches to all children and help to ensure that no child is left behind. The law recognizes that parents are their children's first and most important teachers, and, for children to be successful in school, parents and families need to be actively involved in their children's learning. They need to become involved early and stay involved throughout the school year.

Lessons in literature and writing went reasonably well (for a beginner), but then, I started to teach grammar. Pardon the cliche, but it was like hitting a brick wall.

45. Mrs. Pérez's Classroom Teaching With Technology You do have to teach the skills as Integrate new technology into traditional classroom practice (Here using word processors, spreadsheets, and graphic tools.). http://home.earthlink.net/~perezclass/teachtech.html

Teaching with Technology Tech Center What is technology integration? Definition : The act of carefully planning the use of technology as a tool in the delivery of lessons in order to enhance and increase the students’ abilities to understand, manipulate, and learn subject area content. The key is to make it part of the lesson and not something merely added on top of it. Description : Teachers move through various stages in this process. Technology becomes a regular part of the classroom via projects, essays, research Daily active learning; higher level use of multimedia tech tools Teacher exhibits confidence in finding and using alternative ways of teaching and using technology Throughout this process, the teacher moves from director of instruction to facilitator. How does technology integration impact the teacher's time? It takes a lot of time in the beginning stages and each time you incorporate some new piece of technology. It can be very frustrating. You have to learn the technology and manage the content at the same time. However, once you get it going, that’s when you realize the payoff. Things become easier, tasks are accomplished faster and more efficiently, and students learn more. So it’s definitely worth the effort. How does student technology skill level impact classroom technology integration?

DRAFT- 8/16/98 Technology in the Classroom: Tools for Doing Things Differently or Doing Different Things Margaret Riel University of California, San Diego Kathleen Fulton University of Maryland Paper Presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association San Diego, April 1998 Abstract Today's technological tools make it possible to teach in new waysto do things differently or even to do entirely different things. This paper explores issues of school reform and the role of technology in designing new learning environments. We begin not with the technology but with the challenges that face schools and examine why reform is necessary. What are the problems that stimulate the call for teaching and learning in new ways? How does today's reform context lead to a greater emphasis on building learning communities as appropriate and effective vehicles for new learning for students and teachers? After building this contextual framework, we consider the role technology plays in providing solutions to educational problems and in supporting learning communities. We end by exploring how technology tools can support different forms of learning and understanding. Rationale for School Reform We open this paper with prevailing attitudes about the need for school reform, to do things differently. Technology plays a role in these efforts and at the same time can provide extension past these goals to new ideas for organizing learning.

WELCOME TO: This material is part of the NASA JSC document: SPACE EDUCATORS' HANDBOOK which is designated as document number OMB / NASA Report Number S677. CONCEPT Using the following HTML program familiarize the student with the design of manned spacecraft systems. Next, have the students sketch and analyze science fiction rockets, robots, etc. found in movies, comics, and novels. (SCIENCE FICTION / SPACE TECHNOLOGY : TOOLS FOR LEARNING features numerous examples of this process.) Ask the students to find: (1) What technology exhibited by these sci-fi devices is currently possible? (Study existing technology - space shuttles, space stations, lasers, robots - similar to the selected items.) (2) What is probably not possible with today's technology? (3) What new technology is needed to make the science fiction devices work? (4) Finally, for extra credit, design (add to the original sketch) items overlooked by the science fiction author or artist that should have been included to make the science fiction device work. SYSTEMS REQUIRED BY MANNED SPACECRAFT Spacecraft, like automobiles, require certain basic systems to function properly. Among these systems are: PROPULSION (engines), GUIDANCE (steering), LIFE SUPPORT (air to breathe, food and water), CABIN QUARTERS (manned operations and living area), COMMUNICATIONS (radio transmission and reception), THERMAL PROTECTION (isolation from the extreme temperatures of space as well as the heat of reentry), DISPLAYS AND CONTROLS (a means of flying/controlling and monitoring the status of the spacecraft's performance - switches and gauges).

Intergroup Relations Center Classroom resources DIALOGUE GUIDELINES Guidelines for Constructive Dialogue in the Classroom Having students in a class representing groups from throughout Arizona, the United States, and around the world and representing a variety of cultures and backgrounds can be an asset toward achieving specific educational outcomes. However, in order to use diversity as an asset and in a productive way, an instructor can strive to establish a classroom climate for constructive interaction and dialogue to take place. The following are suggestions toward that end. Once again, these guidelines are simply suggestions and are not required to be used by faculty and teaching assistants. Set Clear Goals About Dialogue Set clear goals and expectations at the beginning of class about the exploration of or dialogue about challenging topics. If possible, place those expectations in the course syllabus. Explain that activities, discussions, writing assignments, simulation games, articles, and other classroom initiatives are all designed to educate rather than offend or hurt individuals or groups. Explain how listening to many different viewpoints, no matter how different and controversial, allows us to understand our views better. Safe Space Set up a safe space or environment in the classroom for dialogue to take place by: a) Establishing ground rules for dialogue.

The Art Teacher Connection Introducing Computer Paint Programs With only a few computers in a classroom, you can give every student the opportunity to learn how to use a paint program. The age of the student need not be a barrier. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about how I teach students to use paint programs What Software Do You Recommend? On the Macs, in my classroom, I like to use Kid Pix for my k-2 students and SuperPaint and Dabbler for my other students.( I recently learned that Adobe has stop making SuperPaint ,so you are free to use the program if someone gives you an old copy. They have replaced the software with Dabbler .) Many teachers are buying the advanced version of Dabbler , a program called Painter . I personally think it is too complicated for beginners. They tend to get too involved in exploring all the bells and whistles and don't take time to master the basics. I would recommend that you learn Dabbler first, then upgrade to Painter . I also encourage my students to work with the Paint format in ClarisWorks . Once my students master these paint programs, they can easily pick-up the additional tool skills needed to work with

Web based Course Management Tools in the K-12 language curriculum This page is also available as a pdf file Barbara Sawhill Director, Cooper International Learning Center Oberlin College Oberlin, Ohio (former grade 7-12 Spanish Teacher) email: Barbara.Sawhill@oberlin.edu well The benefits to the K-12 language teacher: which tool to consider? Again, this depends upon the culture of your school. You need to choose one that is easy for your faculty to learn, one that is affordable for your your network, and one that will be upgraded and improved as time goes on. The last point is the most crucial. If the tool is incredibly affordable because it was made by a local vendor, or free because it is a beta version, or created by someone in the sophomore class, this might not be the tool for your school. The local company might get bought up by another company and choose not to continue to support this tool, the beta version may never move out of beta (read: buggy) and the sophomore may graduate. Choose a tool that allows faculty to archive their materials at the end of the year. They do not have to re-create digital materials for the next time they teach . Here is a quick run through of some of the features that Blackboard offers a K-12 teacher. Similar options exist with WebCT and Prometheus, but might have different names.
