I posted a screen shot and discussed my results of the Promoting Technology Use in Schools online quiz.
The model I chose to look into was Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity. Being creative, I believe, is a very important aspect of a students ability to learn. Assignments should not be boring and pointless, classwork needs to be interesting in order to keep students engaged. All students are unique. The assignments should reflect the student. I think that students are more likely to put more into their assignments if the are able to be creative and more individualistic. Technology is one of the many ways to help inspire student learning and creativity.
The article Promoting Technology Use in Schools examined how technology in schools promotes learning. It says that "new technology can be an appropriate vehicle for promoting meaningful, engaged learning."
There is also more communication between students and their teachers. With technology, students can research and find information on current issues. Technology can be a powerful medium for students. Students already use massive amounts of technology everyday. Why not utilize the skills they already have and apply them to the classroom.
