    • Tracey Kracht
       
      We can't forget that it is also critical for teachers to model the thinking within the tool - it helps for students to gain a better understanding of expectations. This practices also can reduce fear as well as provide empathy from the teacher as they are required to adhere to their own expectations.
  • The challenge, therefore, is for teachers to recognize the differences in these tools and not assume that one blog is the same as the next.

Are Teachers of Tomorrow Prepared to Use Innovative Tech? | Fluency21 - Committed Sardi... - 0 views

  • there’s a disparity between what principals expect from new hires and what teachers-in-training are learning.
  • Sixty-eight percent of teachers-in-training report they rely most heavily on field placements to learn about how to integrate technology into the classroom. They also watch their professors and take advice from peers.
  •  
    This is an interesting article about new teachers entering the field and what principals are expecting they are learning and bringing to the workplace in terms of technology integration.  Interestingly, when digital students are taught using 'old' methods, they are not much more prepared than veteran teachers to integrate technology....although they may be less fearful as they personally use many more digital tools.
