  • Often faculty don't need more training on the tool, they need more training on the affordance of the tool and how to use it to support learning. Different tools have different pedagogical affordances.

    This page allows practitioners in service-oriented organizations-such as libraries, schools, community centers, community colleges, and workforce training centers-to find digital literacy content. These trusted groups can, in turn, reach into their communities and teach residents the skills today's employers need.

    Welcome to the Learn Instructional Technology (LIT) website! The site is organized like a digital textbook, but instead of chapters it contains modules. The overall objective of the modules is to provide you with an interactive learning experience for instructional technology. The modules are full of a variety of types of resources including text, images, and video tutorials; all centered around exposing you to the variety of instructional technologies available today and increasing your technology literacy. The site places an emphasis on application along with theory integrated throughout the content. But best of all...the site is dynamic! As the technology evolves, the content on the site evolves right along with it.

      So what is the answer? How do we filter inappropriate things on the web and allow them to use  their phones?  Proper training? More teachers involved?

      67%! That is a lot! It sounds like what parents want are iPads for their students.  I know the past Apple has given schools great deals on computers to hook students on as Apple users for life...this could be a great opportunity for Apple & schools.
  • hen a similar survey was undertaken five years ago, students' number one complaint was the speed of Internet access at school. Now, they point instead to school filters and firewalls. 71% of high school students and 62% of middle school students say that the most important thing their school could do to make it easier for them to use technology would be to allow them greater access to the websites they need

  • 74% of high school teachers, 72% of high school principals, and 62% of parents of high school age children said yes, they thought their school was doing a good job using technology to enhance learning and/or student achievement.
  • Only 47% of high school students agreed.

    Students surveyed and respond to what they think their technology needs are.  Surveyed almost 300,000 students--lots of interesting data!

  • hese champions, however, must be coordinated into a team that is established by policies and procedures—rather than ad hoc—within the school system
  • Having regular access to technology specialists during the planning process meant that teachers could feel more confident and supported when integrating technology.

  • To answer these questions and begin formulating goals for professional learning, schools must collect data and complete a needs assessment about students and staff, capacity, and available resources
  • requent evaluation allows schools to readily address issues that may be affecting the efficacy of the intervention and then to refine goals and activities accordingly.
  • Once partners were selected, CITEd helped districts refine their goals, particularly when goals were too ambitious for a year-long intervention
  • Even when purchases are made with the best of intentions, the shift from the shelf to the classroom can be difficult. Many of the schools and districts selected as TIP sites had purchased software, often accompanied by extensive technology training for teachers. However, they were still struggling with getting the software into teaching practice.
  • Teachers may learn how to use a tool during a summer workshop, but unless the tool is directly linked to the curriculum and teachers are given ample time for experimentation, they will be unlikely to adopt it into their practice
  • teachers need basic technical knowledge about how to use a tool and knowledge about how to integrate the tool into their existing curriculum (CEO Forum, 2000). To achieve full-scale change, schools need to ensure that strong professional development programs are in place and that teachers have a variety of opportunities for learning and growth
  • methods used by TIP sites were examples of teacher-centered professional development—workshops and learning opportunities were structured to fit the needs, goals, and learning objectives of the teachers involved and grew and changed according to teacher needs
  • he literature shows that any new initiative will be more successful if it meshes well with existing programs
