All rights reserved. 3 It begins with a story... …what is occurring because of that one simple little thing you have done (teaching digital storytelling) is really rather phenomenal. Remember your question to us at the beginning of the training. Would it help if I could give you a technology tool that everyone could learn to use very quickly even if you dont know anything about technology? I wondered when you said that how it could be done. Well, you did it and it has proven to be effective many times over with an unbelievable ripple effect as it is touching special education, ESL students, recent immigrants, parents of autistic children, and on and on.

12. © Copyright, 2006. EdUKey Solution. All rights reserved. 12 NCLB Technology deadline on December 31, 2006 Are we prepared to meet the deadline? What is going to happen now? Are students prepared to use technology to perform not just to play?

13. © Copyright, 2006. EdUKey Solution. All rights reserved. 13 Paradigm Shift in Education For the first time in the history of education, students know vastly more about a subject (technology) than the teachers do. Students now have access to information about anything – at their fingertips. This paradigm shift (to learn to use technology, integration of core academics) requires a huge learning curve in a time when few people have free time.

15. © Copyright, 2006. EdUKey Solution. All rights reserved. 15 Now you need to get up to speed on: TAKS, TEKS, technology integration, academic integration, math TEKS, English TEKS, reading TEKS, science TEKS, social studies TEKS... AND – teach many students with a wide variety of technology, math, English, reading skills AND – address needs of special populations – SE, LEP and at-risk…

16. © Copyright, 2006. EdUKey Solution. All rights reserved. 16 However, educational technology is not, and never will be, transformative on its own. It requires the assistance of educators who integrate technology into the curriculum, align it with student learning goals, and use it for engaged learning projects. –http://www.ncrel.org /http://www.ncrel.org /

32. © Copyright, 2006. EdUKey Solution. All rights reserved. 32 "Emotions drive the threesome of attention, meaning, and memory." In essence, that sums up what we know about learning: attending to information, constructing meaning, and lodging it in our memory. Brain researchers have shown that emotions are critical to patterning, which is the way that information is organized in the brain, how we are able to retrieve that information.

All rights reserved. 46 To "learn from experience" is to make a backward and forward connection between what we do to things and what we enjoy or suffer from things in consequence. Under such conditions, doing becomes a trying; an experiment with the world to find out what it is like; the undergoing becomes instruction-- discovery of the connection of things. -John Dewey, Democracy and Education, 1916
