- W49221736 abstract "Today's agricultural teachers are faced with real world challenges and dilemmas. Between FFA meetings, CDE practices, SAE visits, service projects, chapter fundraisers, and classroom instruction, it is difficult to find the time to discover and experiment with new technologies for the classroom. I recently began teaching agriculture at Chatham Central High School. One of my biggest challenges was increasing the amount of technology used in the classroom. I will admit this still posed a challenge, but with continual effort I have been able to implement strategies and resources that have benefited the program tremendously. Over the past couple of years, I have read many articles on the use of instructional technology. While reading I often cannot help but wonder, How do these teachers find the time to develop and utilize such technologies? The level of technology these teachers were implementing seemed unattainable and quite overwhelming to a beginning teacher. Just like the easy and simple lives that many reality television stars seem to lead, the following article describes a few easy and simple ways I have found to integrate instructional technology in my classroom. Rome Was Not BuUt In A Day As I sit at my desk, I cannot help but stare at the countless boxes of projector slides still utilized in my classroom. Although I inherited a very successful program, there is always room for change and improvement. I will admit that some of my lessons use vintage techniques. Some lessons utilizing outdated technology still work great, while others do not. However, the number of lessons relying on retro technologies is slowly being replaced with a goal to move all images to PowerPoint slides or other appropriate technology. At first, I assumed that I needed to make this change immediately. However, as the school year progressed I discovered that the best approach was to gradually incorporate the new technology into the classroom. Please do not feel like you have to revolutionize your entire classroom in a short period of time. Instead pick one or two technological tools, resources, or programs and begin experimenting with them. When attempting to increase your use of classroom technology, don't be hesitant to involve your students. Regardless of how proficient or inept you may think you are with computers, your students are probably much better! Encourage students to assist in the development of new materials. Do not be afraid to empower your students! It may seem a bit intimidating to implement technology at first but increasingly you will become more comfortable and proficient. Take a minute to consider... what are two new technologies you would like to incorporate into your classroom this year? Tweaking is Easier than Creating As I increase the level of instructional technology utilized in my classroom, I feel that I am simply tweaking my method of teaching to be increasingly tech-friendly. I would often give several pop quizzes and would spend hours each night grading papers. I now upload and give quizzes via Moodle, a free learning management system. I simply create a quiz and answer key in Moodle and the computer calculates student scores at the conclusion of the assessment. Better yet, quizzes and tests are saved from year to year. What technology might be used to help reduce a bit of your workload? Don't Reinvent the Wheel Remember those slides that I talked about earlier? You are probably still wondering, still uses a slide projector? The content of slides is excellent; however, the quality of the images is usually poor and the projector is not very mobile. As I work to replace the old slides, I am using my own images that I have collected while on various FFA trips. All my photos are stored on Picasa, a free photo management program. The program allows me to easily store, edit, and view countless images. As well, my students who are interested in subject matter provide excellent assistance in archiving and organizing the numerous images and creating new slides that do not require a slide projector to view. …" @default.
