Fluency with Instructional
Technology (FIT) focuses on what an English instructor
must know and understand about information technology in order to
use it effectively and productively to enhance teaching and
learning. As the integration of instructional technology into
the classroom has become more important, resources for educating and
assisting faculty in this new arena have become crucial. Workshops
on how to use software are not enough. Teachers need to understand
how these new tools can make a significant difference in how their
students learn.
In addition to offering instructors
step-by-step instructions for using software, this website also
offers suggestions for how instructors might initiate and guide
particular technology-supported learning activities, presents the
different roles technology might play in a classroom, and promotes
thinking and reflection about the best uses of technology in the
classroom.
Three essential components of being
Fluent with Instructional Technology are:
-
Classroom integration -- the
ability to apply information technology in instructional situations
and to understand the outcomes of doing so.
- Conceptual knowledge -- an
understanding of the fundamental concepts of computing and learning.
- Computing skills -- the ability to
use the available software and hardware effectively.
