Question
In preparation for your differentiated lesson planning that spans over the next three weeks, you will engage in a collaborative learning activity to broaden your understanding of research-based teaching practices that have been shown to enhance student learning. As you know, you are required to incorporate each of the following research-based practices in at least one of the differentiated lessons you create in this course:
Integration of technology
Collaboration with members of a professional learning community
Working with families and communities to support student learning
Data-informed instruction
Select one of these research-based practices you would like to further explore and report back to your colleagues. Then gather information about the practice by talking with other teachers, conducting an Internet search, and/or reviewing journal articles in the Walden Library. As you explore this particular practice, focus on the following questions:
What are two or more critical guidelines you would provide to ensure that your colleagues effectively implement this practice?
What online resource would you recommend to colleagues for them to further explore this practice? What useful information is provided there?
How does this practice, combined with Differentiated Instruction, have the potential to improve teaching and learning? How can it support or enhance a specific differentiated strategy (e.g., tiered lessons, exit cards, flexible grouping, or other)?
Explanation / Answer
Integration of technology:-
Technology is a recently growing field were new things are being invented day by day. These contribute to the growth of country's welfare as well as change everything into automatic. Everything has its own technology for developing into its full form. When two technological methods are integrated together,it forms into a mass technology which is capable of bringing out a new product with improved features.
For example a rocket is mainly designed by recent developments in rocket science. The position of the rocket,its parts,their correct position,gas composition etc all are very clearly designed so that the rocket is successfully designed. After designing of the rocket outline,technologies are used which is used to place the components and implement the working conditions. Here different working techniques are used separately depending on thw type of component like for gas release,for positioning the rocket parts,the hub or nob part of the rocket etc. This is nothing but integration of technology were different techniques are used to form a new product.
For implementing studies and research work in these areas,a clear and sound knowledge on different technologies is required. This is used to form a new product with leading innovative technology. A deep practical study is also necessary.
