Classroom Technology Integration


Technology: An opportunity to reframe nursing education to support, reflect and
benefit from students’:

1. comfort with and ownership of multiple electronic devices


2. positive attitudes towards technology
3. expectation that technology will be incorporated into learning (Forneris & Tiffany, 2017)
Original Assignment
Course: Growth and Development (LPN)

Details: Classroom learning


Textbook and lecture dependent
Successful outcome based on test results only

Reality: Teacher-centered learning


Passive student learning
Limited student engagement
SAMR Model by Sylvia
Duckworth, 2015
Substitution
Technology is a substitute for what has gone before.

No functional change. =

Plan: E-textbooks replace hard copy textbooks

Pros: less expense; ease in use; integrated dictionary/thesaurus;


environmentally friendly; electronic highlighting; less bulky/heavy
(College Readiness LOOC, n.d.)

Limits: restricted copying/printing; uses battery life; instructor


unfamiliarity (College Readiness LOOC, n.d.; Waller, 2013)
AUGMENTATION
Technology augments the process.

Plan: The instructor uses EdPuzzle, creating a video and online questions.
EdPuzzle https://edpuzzle.com/

Pros: Student controls presentation, can review and engage by answering


questions; can use online video or own creation; fun!

Limits: Students each need accounts; limited by teacher creativity and


resourcefulness

Modification
The task is redesigned

Plan: Using technology, the students create a brochure to guide


parents on their child’s G&D.
Pros: many online design software resources such as Canva – free,
easy to use (drag and drop) on computer or via app (Quilla, 2018)

https://www.canva.com/create/brochures/

Limits: Canva lacks categorization; paid version receives priority


support (Quilla, 2018)
Redefinition
New tasks, previously inconceivable, are created.
Plan: Students create an eBook on factors affecting a child’s optimum growth
and development.

Pros: Book Creator offers free library with 40 books for teachers (Book Creator,
2018-a); ease of use; encourages creativity (Book Creator, 2018-b)
Limits: students writing/editing skills

Self-Evaluation

Augmentation or Modification

❑ Time constraints
❑ Comprehensive course content (neonate to young adult)
❑ Student energy and focus (evening class)
❑ Students are dispersed geographically
❑ Varying levels of learner
❑ Varying levels of technological comfort
Convincing others....

Be respectful of accomplishments, skills, and talents (Carey, 2013).


Offer professional development, training, and support (Carey, 2013).
Not a zero-sum effort. There are no winners or losers – just engaged
learners and dedicated teachers.
SAMR is a continuum.
Just the facts....this is the age of technology.
Embrace the risk.
Small steps.
