ISTE 3: Teaching Research Using the Big6 Model - techy becky librarian - 1 views

6 tips on implementing new technologies in your organization - 0 views

  • Ask questions and don’t be afraid of the answers. What are competitors, customers, and business partners doing?
    • sfauver
       
      Other barns are using this software
  • Who is being hurt? Identify employees (and groups) this is a problem for and tailor your solution to their unique needs
    • sfauver
       
      This may be harder for less "tech-y" participants to implement
  • How big is the problem? How much money, efficiency, productivity, etc. is in play here? Does it make sense for your organization to implement new technology, or is there a better alternative? What’s the timeframe? Are you under a deadline to get something done, or do you have enough time to adequately test and prepare the right solution?
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Here’s a quick checklist to follow:
  • From there, publicize a target timeframe for the tech rollout, and be transparent about it. If there are setbacks, explain what happened and why. Keep employees engaged and up-to-date on what’s happening. Ultimately, this engagement will help you get to the finish line with your goals for this new technology solution. Because if people aren’t positively motivated, even the best new tools won’t be helpful.
  • Finally, it’s important to understand how long an implementation cycle can take. Because of the nature of today’s consumer-led technologies, this is often a process that can take more than a year or longer.
  • For example, you can have the right technology implemented poorly.
  • Or the wrong technology implemented correctly.
  • From your perspective, you’re bringing improvement—saving employees time, allowing them to be more flexible, improving productivity, improving sales and profits, etc. But from employees’ and departments’ point of view, you’re rocking the boat, telling them to change how they’ve always been doing things, give up precious tools, learn and carry around new devices and the like.

The Promise of Schools as Digital Citizenship Hubs - Connected Learning Alliance - 0 views

  • Surveys from over a thousand K-12 teachers suggest that 60% of teachers used a digital citizenship resource or curriculum in 2019, but this statistic does not speak to how often teachers were able to talk about digital citizenship over the course of the year (once a week, once a month, once a year?).

      Though I do some digital citizenship lessons in my library class, I am realizing that I am not even aware of which teachers also cover some of this in their classrooms. I am realizing that I need to make this more of a partnership between what I am doing and what the teachers are doing by starting this conversation.
