Technology is an important part of teaching. As a teacher, you are asked to use technology in a variety of ways in your lessons. Pedological methodologies like TPACK and SAMR are used as blueprints for how teachers use technology in their classroom. But what do you have to use? Pitman Public Schools has a variety of hardware and software for you to use in your lessons. For the first part of this lesson, complete the worksheet, What Technology Do You Have and How Do You Use it? This will help you take stock of what technology you have and how do you use it?
The PPS Tech 2018-2019 is a new website designed to help teachers utilize the current and new technology we have in the district. Explore the website and find 2 technologies or programs that you have never used or learned different ways to use our current technology. Look at the resources and learn how to use them in your classroom. Once you have done that, answer the 3 questions on Section 2 of What Technology Do You Have and How Do You Use it? worksheet.
The final section of this course is the implementation of the new technologies or programs. Create a lesson that uses at least 1 of the things you have learned from The PPS Tech 2018-2019 website.
