Empowering teachers to implement technology-driven educational programs | ISTE - 1 views

  • that everyone is working at the appropriate level of understanding, allowing students to construct learning and providing learning in easy-to-digest nuggets. Those principles will also help build effective professional development.
  • Start by assessing the basic technology and technology integration skills of the entire teaching staff. Include open-ended questions in your assessment tools to get richer responses than multiple choice would. Try to ascertain which members of your teaching staff need training on specific technology tools or techniques and determine which are comfortable using technology but need more help integrating it into instruction.
  • Make sure your in-person training sessions include ample time for teachers to use the technology

      Differentiate for your teachers!
  • wever, the nationwide survey of K-12 teachers revealed that while schools are putting more technology into classrooms, not enough is being done to ensure that teachers know how to integrate it into their lessons. Six in 10 teachers feel they are inadequately prepared to use technology in classrooms, according to the survey, and those over 43 express less confidence in their ability to harness technology effectively.
  • Next, design training to fill in gaps and give teachers what they want. Ensure that each session is designed to be self-contained so that teachers can choose to attend workshops only in the areas where they need extra learning.
    • jessvanorman
       
      This happens too often- where only a few need the training, but all need to attend. So important to make sure teachers get what the NEED not what is being forced.
  • This will help your teachers process information without overwhelming them. Follow-up materials, such as online tutorials, help sheets or short videos will allow them to review the training on their own if they do forget how to do something.

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

  • surprisingly few number of schools have a comprehensive information literacy program. They found that many programs are “irregular, partial, and arbitrary” (Eisenberg, 2011, pg. 10)

ReadMeFirst_DigitalPortfolios - Google Docs - 0 views

  •  
    This Google Doc came from an ISTE search on Digitial Portfolios. It is interesting to find resources from old conferences and I'm curious how useful they'll be without having actually attended. It is also testing Diigo in a way it may not be intended to be used.

How Should Keyboarding Be Taught in Elementary School? | EdTech Magazine - 0 views

  • This year, we tried a different approach so that this skill was not only taught, but also applied across all content areas.
  • NCTE and other respected educational organizations view digital skills such as keyboarding as essential for learners to communicate in the 21st century.

      ISTE as well
  • How could we use Google Docs to complete assignments? Wouldn’t these tools allow students to complete unfinished work at home? Making connections between the technology and the academics had begun.

Digital citizenship is more than staying safe online, says ISTE's chief executive - 0 views

  • Practicing responsible “digital citizenship” requires students, educators and administrators to do more than simply avoid confrontations online, but to be proactive in improving their online communities, the CEO of the International Society for Technology in Education said at a conference Monday.

VT Digital Learning Plan-DRAFT.pdf - 0 views

shared by pjspurlock on 06 Mar 19 - No Cached
  • 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
    • pjspurlock
       
      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?
    • pjspurlock
       
      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.

  • 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.
    • pjspurlock
       
      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?

What's Involved in Technology Planning? | ECLKC - 1 views

  • Technology planning is a process. TechSoup has broken it down into seven phases.Establish leadership and support. Assess your resources. Define your needs. Explore solutions. Write the plan. Get funding. Implement the plan.
  • Your organization's technology vision (together with a brief section about the current state of technology in your organization) can take the form of an executive summary. How will technology further your organization's mission? What is your long-range vision for technology use? While this isn't necessarily an essential part of the plan, this section can give an overview of your technology goals as they relate to your organization's mission.

      What is the tech vision for GMUHS? How can this apply to us?
  • Taking your hardware and software inventory may be the most well-defined part of technology planning. As a result, you have more options for how to get it done. If someone on staff has even a minimal knowledge of hardware and software vocabulary, you may well be able to do it in-house. Is there someone who knows how to find out the processor speed of a computer?

      In digging into my district tech plans I found we have not updated ours since 2012! This was shocking to me. This clear timeline of how to write and implement a plan will be very helpful in our writing of a new plan.
  • Whether or not you seek outside help, however, educating your own technology team is crucial to a successful plan. In order to understand the options a consultant presents to you, you need vocabulary and basic concepts. The content areas of TechSoup are a good place to start.
  •  
    This is from the US. Dept of Health and Human Services but talks about, "Technology planning is a process that takes time and resources in order to understand what is appropriate for staff and the organization. Program directors and their management staff may use this resource to further their understanding of what is involved in technology planning." While HeadStart is under this government branch and the terms don't completely line up with education lingo, it makes some great points that ISTE also mention.
