Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
Any teacher who integrates technology needs to be aware that the dynamics in the classroom will change. Robbins, a teacher in an intermediate school said: "To teach in a technology
enriched classroom the teacher must first realize that they will be giving up some control" (Robbins, 2002). When technology is in the classroom, students become more independent, which places the
teacher in the role of facilitator for much of the time (Robbins, 2002). Technology has been used successfully to enhance learning in all grade levels and in all subject areas.
Fletcher, for instance, reported a case study where 2nd graders used "electronic editing tools to revise and edit their writing" (2001, p. 155). This was an urban multicultural classroom of
27 students, eight of whom were included in the study (Fletcher, 2001). Students were grouped into four pairs so they could help each other (Fletcher, 2001). The purpose was "to
determine if, and to what extent, the students use of computer editing tools would help them revise and edit book reports they would eventually post on their class webpage [sic]"
(Fletcher, 2001, p. 155). The study was conducted within the context of a literacy program that incorporated talking, reading, writing and thinking (Fletcher, 2001). The investigator found that when students
typed their writing assignments, they were able to make more effective editing choices (Fletcher, 2001). Other findings included: editing tools (word process software) offer students a framework, students were more
alert to errors after they had used the word processing tool to type their assignment than they were when only hand-writing it, students made more editing changes when they used
the word processing program (Fletcher, 2001). The general conclusion was that students learned more about spelling, punctuation, and capitalization with the word processing editing tools than without it (Fletcher, 2001).
