1. iNtegrating Technology for inQuery
NTeQ

2. Focus of the NTeQ Model
A method for integrating computers in a lesson plan
Computer used as a tool
Encourage higher order thinking and processing activities
Realistic context
Open-end learning environment

3. NTeQ Philosophy Five basic components Teacher Student Computer Lesson
Environment

4. NTeQ and the Teacher
Teachers need to experience using the computer as a tool to learn new information. Experience learning the way we want students to learn
Teachers need to understand the relationship between basic computer functions and student learning. Analyze computer functions to know how it can apply to student learning
Teachers need to use their knowledge of student learning and technology to design, manage, and facilitate a student-centered, multidimensional learning environment.

5. NTeQ and the Student
The student is actively engaged in learning process.
The student assumes the role of a researcher.
The student becomes technologically competent.

6. NTeQ and the Computer As a learning tool.
An extension of what the student are able to do for themselves
Computers become an integral part of the lesson
Allows more time for discovery and research
Use to manage, retrieve and manipulate data

7. NTeQ and the Lesson
Student-centered
Problem-based
Authentic
Dependent on the integration of technology
Not used for every lesson
Teacher analysis of lesson and outcomes will determine is technology integration will benefit student learning

8. The Activities The Rotation NTeQ and the Environment Clearly defined
Aligned to objectives
Meet the needs of diverse learners
Use resources
Interdisciplinary
The Rotation
Efficient use of resources

10. How does the NTeQ Model compare with a traditional classroom?
Discussion of Tables created to summarize this comparison.

11. NTeQ: Specify Objectives
Based on standards, benchmarks or curriculum materials

12. NTeQ: Match Computer Functions
Identify relationships between objectives and functions a computer can perform.
Analyze…….spreadsheet or database
Draw or design……..drawing or graphics software
Appendix A in text for more

13. NTeQ: Specify the Problem
NTeQ Lesson uses an inquiry or problem-based approach.
Students provided or identify a problem to solve
Problems can come from existing lesson plans
Relevant, student can relate to and understand

14. NTeQ: Data Manipulation
Students will gather data
Observation
Experimentation
Internet search
What are they expected to do with data based on lesson objectives
Calculate averages, graph, sort, summarize

15. NTeQ: Results Presentation
How will students present their knowledge?
Written or oral reports
Newspapers
Posters
Web pages
Books

16. NTeQ: Activities During Computer Use
How many computers are available?
What activities will be completed on a computer?
Clear expectations on how students will use technology

17. NTeQ: Activities Before Computer Use
Activities to prepare for computer use to make time efficient and effective
Search terms to use in an Internet search
Organize data for graphing
Outline before writing

18. NTeQ: Activities After Computer Use
Reflective, higher-level thinking about data collected and manipulated Need to develop questions and a plan for encouraging the students to reflect and analyze

19. NTeQ: Supporting Activities
Other activities required to accomplish the objective, but do not require use of the computer
Silent reading
Group discussion
Teacher-lead discussion
Use of manipulatives
Important to consider for classroom with only a few computers.

20. NTeQ: Assessment
Alternative assessments
