Teaching with Technology Video Series

Teaching with Technology is a professional development series highlighting resident educators who are integrating learning technologies into the curriculum throughout Ohio’s schools. The technology resources and practices highlighted in the videos were selected for use by the resident educators. The series was created in 2016 by WOSU Public Media in partnership with the Ohio Department of Education.

Grade 3, English Language Arts

Winchester Trail Elementary Schools

Lauren Brooks uses a station rotation model of blended learning in her inclusion classroom. The “stations” include working online on reading programs that correspond to a student’s reading level, one-on-one or group sessions with the teacher, and independent work or hands-on activities.

Grade 4, Mathematics

Winchester Trail Elementary School

Michael Stuckey puts a high priority on formative assessment in his grade 4 math class. A favorite resource for him is Plickers, a simple tool for collecting real-time assessment data—with cards. It’s been especially helpful for adapting lessons for the wide range of learners he teaches.

Grade 5, Language Arts

Huber Ridge Elementary School

Ashley Rable’s class runs smoothly on the station rotation model of blended learning. She leads 15- to 20-minute lessons in the classroom focusing on reading skills before students rotate through stations.

Grade 9, Algebra I

Franklin Heights High School

Alex Blohm manages a “flipped classroom.” He and his co-teachers put all of their lectures and notes online. Because many students do not have internet access at home, they watch lessons in class, with laptops and headsets provided by the school. Individualized help is given to every student having difficulty understanding or working through the algebra problems.

Grade 9, Science

Olentangy STEM Academy

Kaylee Jones operates a flipped classroom. She records her lessons, posts them online and requires students to watch lessons over the weekend. Flipping the classroom gives her time during the week to work with students individually and to have small groups of them work on team assignments.

Grade 9-11, Spanish

Northmont High School

To Erin Hunkemoeller’s students, the iPad is a classroom staple. Every student is provided a device. Students use them daily to organize notes, engage in interactive learning, practice speaking and writing Spanish and do research with their teams.

Grade 9-11, Life Sciences

William V. Fisher High School

Abbie Butler and her students use technology in the classroom routinely for project-based learning, in-lab work, and quizzes and tests.

Grade 11, Postsecondary Planning

Olentangy Liberty High School

Susan Lee approached postsecondary planning with a hybrid model incorporating an online course, EnvisionIT, with a traditional course. It allows students to learn online at their own paces and to work on selected assignments in class.
