California Technology Assistance Project, Region 7 believes technology can make a big difference in the way teachers teach and students learn. In some classrooms, teachers are using the Internet to keep up with the latest developments in their field, exchange lesson plans with their colleagues, and communicate more frequently with parents. Likewise, students are creating powerful Internet-based learning resources, logging on to the Library of Congress to download primary documents for a history paper, explore the universe with an Internet-connected telescope used by professional astronomers, and engage in more active "learning by doing.” |
A qualitative study conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project examined the attitudes and behaviors of Internet savvy students from across the country. They came up with 6 metaphors to explain how these students use the internet for school:
- A virtual textbook
- A virtual library
- A virtual tutor
- A virtual study group
- A virtual guidance counselor
- A virtual locker
Unfortunately there exists a “disconnect” between what is experienced at home and what is experienced in schools. Students state that they face several school obstacles like quality of access, and extreme filtering that hinders their ability to access resources. These students are coming to school with different expectations, different skills, and access to different resources that they know exist.
This year’s theme “My Classroom My Space” is designed to look at more than just the disconnect that exists but show how students are reacting and compensating for this. This year’s competitors will submit their artwork with a short description stating how the piece ties in with the theme "My Classroom My Space."
