  • Essay / Implementation of technology in teaching routines

    The theoretical framework involves the works of Dewey (1916/1997), Papert (1993/2001), Piaget (1973), Vygotsky (1978) and Augustin & Huang (2002) . The use of social constructivism (SC) will play a central role in establishing collaborative relationships between teachers and their students. Additionally, this framework will also apply Swan and Dixon's (2006) Teacher Technology Attitude Scale (TAS) to determine wireless laptop training needs for K-12 teachers. As predicted by social constructivism theory, the introduction of technology into the classroom produces a network of social learning agents. Papert's (1993) prediction that computers would transform education is proving true given the demands placed on primary and secondary schools to integrate technology into teaching practice. He argued that the fundamental concern of change for a number of educators is the tension between the integration of technicization and the non-integration of technicization in pedagogical practices. Thus, teachers must first develop a certain level of intersubjectivity (Augustin and Huang, (2002) by understanding, accepting technological requirements and developing strategies to use available technologies in their teaching routines. Teachers must be trained to use wireless laptop technology, promote social interaction, and effectively strengthen students' cognitive skills (Vygotsky, 1978; Georgia Department of Education, 2008 Therefore, the use of instructional training method). having established validity and noted premises will apply social constructivism to help the teacher integrate classroom technology reality, knowledge, learning and intersubjectivity of social meaning social constructivism will develop a guide on the approach. of educational training......middle of article......useful role in their use of wireless laptop technology. I plan to use the results to establish the potential success that an online professional learning network would have on teachers' attitudes toward technology (Cavas, et al., 2009; Swan and Dixon, 2006). . To determine whether an online support network is a warranted initiative, school officials can use SC approaches and the TAS model. Given these facts, the use of this survey can be a viable instrument to help advance the integration of technology in classrooms and facilitate a community where professionals and educators meet to combine their knowledge of education using state standards (Collins & Halverson, 2009; Snider , 2009; Vrasidas, 2010) aligned with available technology resources. Through training and practice, teachers will effectively integrate wireless laptop technology into the classroom..
