» An Open Letter to Teachers Bud the Teacher - 0 views

  • I hope you take lots of risks for the sake of learning this year. Not just for your students, but also for you. Make it a goal to try to learn something in a sustained and meaningful way that has little to do with your classroom life.
  • Be an expert when you need to be. Be a learner always. You are probably the most experienced learner in your classroom. But don’t assume you’re the most knowledgable person or object. If you’ve a computer handy, then you’re not. Embrace that. Relationships and mentoring cannot be outsourced or Googled. They take time and genuine concern.
  • You need no one’s permission to postpone a due date or modify an assignment for the benefit of a student, or to delay some grading for the benefit of yourself or your family.

  • And share the good stuff. Your stories are all human ones, and they are all special, just as each one of you, and each of your students, is special. There is always someone curious about what you’re up to.

  • Technology threatens to reorder those behavior patterns
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The first instinct is thus to graft technology onto preexisting modes of behavior. Hence PowerPoint slides replace the overhead projector, and the learning or course management system attempts to simulate an in-person classroom
  • As technologists, however, we have to realize that incremental change is the best we can hope for in many cases
  • That pace is dictated in large measure by their response to the Three E’s. We have to make them aware of the benefits realized through the effective use of technology. We have to make sure that the platforms they are forced to use are relatively easy to manipulate and conform in some way to the reality in which they exist
  • Technology of the Week” posters. We actually advertise some of the useful and interesting things that faculty can do with a particular technology. They can then go to the Curriculum Innovation Center or attend a workshop to learn how to use that technology.

      That is a great idea! Advertise then set up mtgs to teach others.

    This is a MUST read for all technology decision makers in Lutheran Schools! The Three-E Strategy for Overcoming Resistance to Technological Change If you just build it, they won't come-you need to shape users' behavior by acknowledging their world view rather than your own as a technology implementer
