RESEARCH BRIEFSResearch on the Effects of Technology on the Teaching of Writing
Few scientifically designed research studies on the effects
of technology on the teaching of writing have been carried out, and the results
of these studies are contradictory on the actual benefits of word processing
for writing. This question is part of a continuing debate on whether technology
and educational media are more than a mere delivery system for instruction
and on the importance of the teacher's role.
Technology Integration in Primary
Classrooms
Technology integration involves using computers and technology
tools in conjunction with educational resources and curriculum
objectives to actively engage students in the process of
learning.
Project-Based Learning
Project-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered teaching and
learning strategy which enables students to acquire new knowledge
and skills in the course of designing, planning and creating a
product or performance.
Technology Integration
in Elementary, Middle and
High School
Technology can be introduced and incorporated into any classroom
from kindergarten through grade twelve. This interaction allows
students to become proficient in curriculum areas along with
mastering the technology standards developed by the International
Society for Technology in Education (ISTE).
