The Knowledge Loom learned of Becky Baun's classroom projects because of her participation in the SEEM Collaborative's Designing for Technology Integration (DTI) course, offered by NEIRTEC partner TERC. Baun, a sixth grade teacher at Manchester Memorial Elementary School in eastern Massachusetts, submitted a description of the technology projects she had integrated into her World Geography lessons. Knowledge Loom editors felt her classroom presented an exemplary success story for two of the GMOTT best practices: Standards and Multiple Learning Strategies.
The DTI course gives participants the opportunity to learn how technology can be used as a teaching and learning tool that supports student and teacher inquiry, problem solving, and higher order thinking skills and extends creative thinking processes. It guides them through the design of a unit of practice that can be used in their school or district.
NEIRTEC is the Regional Technology in Education Consortium for the Northeast and serves the six New England States, New York, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. NEIRTEC focuses on helping educational leaders at the state, district, and school levels address the many challenges involved in linking technology to student achievement in the core academic areas, with a particular emphasis on the needs of schools in underserved urban and rural communities.
