EdListen - Ed Tech Blog of Bjorn Behrendt - 0 views

  •  
    Bjorn is a really interesting guy who I have had the privilege to meet on several occasions. He is an educator from Fair Haven, VT and blogs about a variety of ed tech topics. As a Google Suite geek myself, I am particularly fond of Bjorn's blog, as he frequently posts some really nuanced, useful pointers for leveraging Google apps in new ways.

  • Following the National Education Technology Plan, and realizing that Vermont has some unique needs, we’ll frame the Vermont Goals under the following areas:  Learning, in Vermont’s case, Personalizing Learning  Teaching and Pedagogy  Leadership  Assessment and Evaluation  Infrastructure

      Vermont's Unique Needs to Digital Learning. Follows along with what I saw in ISTE and how GMUHS needs to build a strong vision.
  • How could/would digital learning environments increase students’: o Exposure to new ideas, communities and culture? o Civic engagement and responsibility? o Collaborations and community/state/national/global connections o Appetite for new experiences in learning?

      Good points: Teacher and student buy in
  • Chromebooks, offering a low-cost solution to providing full or near full-time access for students, now comprise almost 50% of devices in schools.

      GMUHS is Macbook vs Chromebook. Will this last for us? Will we have to consider the alternate?

  • 150 schools are at 50% or above in terms of IT shifted to the cloud. 7 schools reported moving 100% of their services to the cloud.

      Most of our is under the Google Cloud
  • Referencing the SAMR model, we still see a significant amount of Substitution, where traditional teaching and learning is simply moved to an electronic platform (i.e. a paper fill-inthe-blank worksheet is now an electronic fill-in-the-blank worksheet), but there are also examples that come up on the higher end of the model too, Redefinition. In this iteration of the creation of local Digital Learning Plans, we hope to bring more teachers to the Modification and Redefinition levels. So, one of our continuing areas of work must be in technology integration, perhaps following more of the models of embedded individuals that we know tend to produce better outcomes in terms of tech to support learning.
  • COMPUTER SCIENCE Revisited Another area of focus for our work moving forward is the re-development and a refocus of resources that can build teacher capacity around Computer Science as a field and possible career choice for our students

      How can our district better support our teachers in this area?
