Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works

In answering the question, Why Technology? Roxanne Everhard made the statistics from Marzano’s work easy to understand and builds a case for reading and using the texts: What Works in Schools, Classroom Instruction that Works, Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works. From her experience, Roxanne explains to us “Our students and children these days demand technology, they don’t just want it, they demand it.” From Survey Monkey, Bubbl.us, Del.icio.us, Wikispaces, to blogs, Roxanne leads us through some Web 2.0 technologies. For more information on Using Classroom Instruction that Works, sign up for the online graduate course at ESA 6 or TIE. You can also call the TIE office or email Roxanne Everhard or Jackie Jessop Rising for more informaiton.

Dr. Bob Marzano is a Senior Scholar at Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL). While he deserves the lions share of the credit for the research in Classroom Instruction that Works and What Works in Schools, many McREL staff also contributed. Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works was written by McREL’s Educational Technology Team (Pitler, Hubble, Kuhn, & Malenoski), all of which currently work for McREL. If you are interested in professional development around any of these titles, McREL can help. See www.mcrel.org/instruction or www.mcrel.org/technology for more information.

If you want to brush up on your technology skills, this is the class and book for you! I have been teaching computers for around 13 years, and I learned a great deal.
