  2. Technology: Etymology: Greek technologia systematic treatment of an art, from technē art, skill + -o- + -logia -logy Date: 1859 1a: the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area:engineering; medical technology b: a capability given by the practical application of knowledge: a car's fuel-saving technology 2: a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge: new technologies for information storage 3: the specialized aspects of a particular field of endeavor: educational technology

  3. Current Practices • What types of technologies do you currently use in your developmental writing classrooms? • What is your reasons for using these technologies? • How effective are they?

  4. Why use technology? • Real world applications • Value for teaching writing • Low Threshold Applications (LTAs) • A Low Threshold Application (LTA) is a teaching/learning application of information technology that is reliable, accessible, easy to learn, non-intimidating and (incrementally) inexpensive.

  5. Low Threshold Applications • Each LTA should have immediate, observable, positive consequences, and may also contribute to cumulative changes in teaching and/or learning practice (e.g., helping improve faculty-student contact). • "... the potential user (teacher or learner) perceives an LTA as NOT challenging, not intimidating, not requiring a lot of additional work or new thinking. • LTAs… are also 'low-threshold' in the sense of having low INCREMENTAL costs for purchase, training, support, and maintenance." - Steve Gilbert, President, TLT Group, in AAHESGIT-96
