      We had one staff development day when teachers taught teachers with many options for learning....we need this option on every SD day. Some teachers are already doing great things with tech. tools and we need more opportunity for teachers to learn from each other and see how tools really work in classrooms.

    Part of the benefit of jumping forward with a 1:1 iPad deployment like we have tried is that we get the opportunity to impart knowledge to other districts looking to do a similar initiative. While that might not seem like a benefit, it actually also means we can make some mistakes because there is not a long history of this type of deployment in the world.

    This fall, more schools than ever are allowing students to use their own laptops, iPads, and cell phones in the classroom. Administrators hope these bring-your-own-technology initiatives, recommended in the U.S. Department of Education's 2010 National Education Technology Plan (NETP), will help cut costs and increase student engagement.

  • In-Person PD
  • During these meetings, challenges will pop up.
  • talk with these teachers about how they have seen technology both and help and hinder their students’ learning. Many discovered they are already teaching digital citizenship and this new integrated model would just help them do it more intentionally and with our new common vocabulary
  • Follow-up
  • Teachers shouldn’t be the only, or even the first, people that students hear from about digital citizenship
  • Make sure teachers feel supported as they roll out their lessons.
  • Students need to know that it is part of a larger culture shift, and not just a one-year initiative
  • Make sure that school counselors have participated in digital citizenship education like their teacher counterparts so they are prepared to talk with parents and students. Continue offering resources, webinars, and in-person presentations for parents so they feel supported and empowered to talk to their students about when and how they are using technology.
  • Agree on the digital citizenship goals, share your vision, train your teachers, and follow-through by continuing to support all stakeholders
