Education World ® Technology Center: Managing Technology: Tips from the Experts - 0 views

  • Always run through a technology lesson before presenting it to the class -- and always have a back-up lesson prepared in case the technology fails.
  • Type directions for frequently used computer operations -- opening programs, inserting clip art, printing documents, and so on -- on index cards, laminate them, and connect them with a circle ring. Keep a set next to each computer.
  • When working on lengthy technology projects, print out step-by-step instructions. Include some that say "Save your work; do not go any further until you help your neighbors reach this point."

  • Appoint classroom technology managers
  • If you're a language arts or foreign language teacher using Microsoft Word, teach your students how to use the Text to Table feature.
  • Turn your classroom into a museum. After a lesson using presentation software, allow students to walk around the room and view everyone else's work
  • Post a list of all your rules for technology use in a visible place
  • Attach plastic hooks to monitors to hang headphones on when they're not being used.
  • Type PLEASE WAIT FOR INSTRUCTIONS on 8½ by 11 papers, laminate them, and tape one sheet to the top of every monitor
  • Have students turn off their monitors when you're giving directions.
  • When working in a computer lab, assign each student a computer.
  • Have each student keep a Tech Folder for storing ongoing technology projects
  • When students are working on small group technology projects on classroom computers, divide the tasks so some students are working on the computers while others are working at their desks on another part of the project
  • Provide a sign-up sheet for the computers. When one group is finished using the computers, they must notify the next group that it's their turn.
  • Set up teams of computer helpers,
  • Never assume you know it all! Offer a free pencil to any student who teaches you something you didn't know.

Teacher Development: Fueling Teachers to Go High-Tech | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    "Forest Lake principal Kappy Cannon didn't leave it up to teachers to decide whether they would join the digital revolution. As long as you provide adequate support, she reasons, you can demand that it be done. This mandate from the boss gave the school's tech-integration team a major boost. Also helpful: instructional-technology specialist Paulette Williams's sweet but insistent approach. When the school got interactive whiteboards, she gave teachers six months to relinquish their old overhead projectors. Then she said, "You can give me the projectors peacefully, or I'm going to take them." "

    Tell, Don't Ask - love it! I strongly believe buy in from the leadership team AND mandating implementation is key to change in a school.

Generation YES » GenYES - 1 views

shared by Rene Hahn on 16 Sep 09 - Cached

    GenYES is the only student-centered research-based solution for school-wide technology integration. Students work with teachers to design technology-infused lessons and provide tech support. The resulting collaboration provides the students with project-based learning and the teachers with on-site, sustainable technology integration support.
  •  
    I supervised the implementation of the GenYES program for three middle schools when I was working in the Schenectady CIty School District. The students really liked supporting teachers and some teachers really bought into the program. I believe it is a valuable collaborative program but sustainability, especially if it is grant funded, can be problematic because of the yearly licensing fees. It's been three years since I worked with Dennis Hooper and the program and the fee schedule be have changed. I know they were doing more online lessons, training, etc. I can provide more information to anyone who is interested.
