KITE Case Study: 4182-1

Some educators feel that the best use of technology occurs when it allows students to do what otherwise could not be done in the classroom. Examine the KITE case: 4182-1 and discuss the quality of this case. Then answer the following questions by entering your comments.
1. Did the use of technology allow the students to do something they otherwise would not have been able to do inside the classroom? If so explain. If not explain.
2. Would you consider this activity to be a good example of using technology with students? Why or Why not?

KITE Case Study: 6129-1

Examine the KITE case: 6129-1. Then post ideas for adaptations that can be made to the case. These adaptations can include teacher experiences based on the case, changes to make the case better meet local state standards, added information that could improve the case usability, suggestions for combining cases, or any other information the participants would find useful.

Please share your experiences with the KITE case library

In order to help us improve the KITE case library, you are asked to search the KITE case library. The URL of the KITE case library is http://kite.missouri.edu/. Then each participant will post a comment that includes the following:

• A brief description of the case selected including case number.
• Ideas for adaptations that can be made to the case. These adaptations can include teacher experiences based on the case, changes to make the case better meet local state standards, added information that could improve the case usability, suggestions for combining cases, or any other information the participants would find useful.

Google Groups is an online collaboration platform which can be used for question-and-answer sessions between group members. You are welcome to join this group and share your thoughts or ask questions about CBR 2.0 and KITE case library!

Survey on KITE Cases

The Knowledge Innovation for Technology in Education (KITE) project was designed and implemented to assist teachers in learning how to integrate technology into their teaching by presenting cases containing technology integration stories. The KITE case library (http://kite.missouri.edu) currently contains over 1200 stories or cases describing the real-life experiences of in-service teachers as they integrate technology into their teaching. These stories can serve as the learning resource or a performance support system for those who are working to improve teaching and learning with technologies. The stories shared by teachers using technology can help to prepare pre-service teachers by helping them see what works and what does not work in the real world of classrooms. In addition, the stories provide other in-service teachers ideas for integrating technology into their instruction. These stories model the processes and tools for documenting and assessing teachers’ efforts in integrating technology into instruction.

This survey is intended to capture your experience with the KITE cases. Your feedback will help us improve the KITE case library. Please indicate the case number when you share your experience with a KITE case. We are especially interested in how the cases benefit you, how you use or adapt the cases to meet your needs and your suggestions for improving the case quality.

We also welcome your feedback about:

• Which aspects of the KITE case library interface did you like the best?
• Which aspects of the KITE case library interface did you like the least?
• What recommendations do you have to improve the KITE case library?
