3 TECHNOLOGY BINGO! Find someone who is using one of these technologies for teaching and learning in an FYE course this term. Introduce yourselves and ask the individual to initial the square (and maybe trade business cards!). Discuss how the individual uses the technology before moving one. Don t respond to the statements at the bottom until the activity ends. 5 IN A ROW WINS!!! Course Management System (e.g., Moodle, Blackboard Social Networking (e.g., FaceBook) M-Learning (Cell Phone) IPod/MP3 Player (Podcasts) Collaborative Editing Software (e.g., Google Docs, Wikis) Laptop or Notebook Computer Electronic Whiteboard (Smartboard) E-Portfolios (Blackboard, website) Plagiarism Detection Tools Screen/voice capture (Camtasia, Captivate, Jing) Virtual Worlds (e.g., Second Life) Blogs Online lectures with audio (PowerPoint) Online lectures with video (Breeze, Camtasia) Surveys (Blackboard, Flashlight, Survey Monkey) Video Conferencing or Internet Voice Chat Video Games, Simulations, or Virtual Worlds WWW Streaming video (web-based video) Online databases (library, career) I liked....

5 STUDENT ATTITUDES AND DATA The following data comes from student self-reports and various surveys. Sources are identified by number in the references list. Circle the top 3 that intrigue/surprise you most and then VOTE for your choices. Don t respond to the statements at the bottom until the activity ends. Sour Statement ce #1 1. This year I read 8 books, 2300 webpages and 1281 Facebook profiles; I wrote 42 pages for classes and 500 pages in s #1 2. My typical day is sleep 7 hours, study 3 hours, online 3.5 hours, 1.5 hours TV, music 2.5 hours, cell phone 2.5 hours, class 3 hours, eating 2 hours, working 3 hours = 26.5 hours (I multitask). #1 3. I think when I graduate I will have a job that doesn t exist today. #1 4. I bring my laptop to class but I m not working on class stuff. I FaceBook through most of my classes. #2 5. In a survey of 500 college students, 73% said they would not be able to study without some form of technology and 38% said they could not go more than 10 minutes without checking their laptop, smartphone, tablet, or ereader. # % of students take notes using a keyboard rather than pen and paper. # % of students prefer to use as a method to get extra help from instructors. # % of students prefer to use a printed textbook rather than an ebook; however, half of the 98% of students who owned a digital device regularly read etextbooks. #3 9. College students indicate that their laptop/notebook computers are their biggest necessities and that they never go anywhere without their phones. #3 10. College students use FaceBook to communicate with friends (and plan events), Skype with closer friends or boyfriends/girlfriends, and for parents/professors and to handle business. #4 11. Students in classes that use Twitter to increase engagement have averages that are 5 points higher than students in traditional classes. #4 12. Time spent on Facebook (average minutes per day): 1 st term freshmen, 115.3; 2 nd term freshmen, 68.8; sophomores, 115.7; juniors, 101.9; seniors,83.4. # % of college students own a digital device. # % of students say that technology improved their grades. #5 15. In terms of technology, students indicated that 3 major issues affected their academic success: Lack of progress updates, lack of technology availability, and lack of faculty who know how to use technology. #6 16. College students prefer to communicate by text message more than any other format with 92% using text messaging daily. #6 17. In terms of rating faculty use of technology, 47% of students said that all or most faculty used information technology effectively, 49% said that faculty had adequate skills for using technology in courses, and 38% of students said that faculty provided adequate training to students on the information technology necessary for course success. # % of students use their college library s website weekly and 90% use course or learning management systems several times each week. I was surprised that.... I learned...

Evaluating Essential Conditions for Technology Integration * Adapted from Essential Conditions Rubric ISTE National Technology Standards (NETS) Check all that apply and total: SHARED VISION FOR TECHNOLO GY INTEGRATI ON ACCESS TO TECHNOLO GY SKILLED EDUCATOR S PROFESSIO NAL DEVELOPM ENT TECHNICAL ASSISTANC E CONTENT STANDARD S STUDENT CENTERED TEACHING Is there a coordinated administrative, college, and department focus that involves faculty and other personnel at all levels? Are yearly amounts budgeted for technology purchases and is funding incremental? Is faculty/staff training emphasized? Is technology matched to curriculum needs? Is technology current and flexible? Does the college/department have a plan for regular replacement/upgrading of technologies? Is access to current technologies, software and telecommunications networks consistently available to faculty and support personnel in homes, classrooms, offices, and labs? Is access to current technologies, software and telecommunications networks available to students in homes, classrooms, offices, and labs? Does the campus provide on-demand Wi-Fi access in public areas? Does the campus discourage tight control of technology which might create a negative atmosphere regarding its use? Is there equity among departments in terms of technology availability? Are faculty encouraged to use various forms of technology in teaching and learning? Do faculty use technology for productivity (e.g. lesson plans, handouts, presentations)? Do faculty use the WWW for teaching and learning? Do faculty use Web 2.0 tools for teaching and learning? Is there an emphasis on hands-on integration? Is training offered over time? Are individuals available to model, mentor and coach? Is post-training access to trainers available? Is professional development financially supported by the institution? Are the results of professional development evaluated? Have faculty and staff been trained to trouble-shoot technological problems? Are technical staff available to address complicated diagnostic and maintenance problems? Is technical assistance readily available (e.g., weekend, evening, classroom phones, help desk, )? Are onsite content and pedagogy specialists available to support technology use? Are technologies aligned with course objectives or common course outlines? Are technologies aligned with discipline-specific, program, or degree standards and content? Do faculty assignments require students to use productivity technologies? Do faculty assignments require students to use WWW? Do faculty assignments require students to use Web 2.0 tools? Do faculty assignments require students to use other technologies? Are students encouraged to solve authentic discipline-specific problems using technology? TOTA L /6 /5 /4 /6 /4 /2 /7

Are technological teaching strategies matched with appropriate assessment strategies? Does assessment of technology use inform teaching, learning, policy and budgetary decisions? Is there an institutional commitment to the use of technology in assessment? Is there a shared vision about how technology resources are assessed, upgraded, and retired? Does technology use in teaching and learning reflect industry and disciplinespecific use? Do community stakeholders (business, industry) support and inform technology use in teaching/learning? Do administrative support policies address budgeting, personnel, and reward and incentive structures Do policies address acceptable use of technology (e.g., plagiarism, pirating, social networks, etc)? /4 /2 /2 /42 My biggest obstacle to effective technology use is...
