      This video is an example of hosting an app night to bring parents, teacher, administrators and students together to learn how the use of technology can change the way we learn.

      How many parents of the students you teach understand, know how to use or have the time and opportunity to learn about all the new educational apps that their students are introduced to every school year? I would venture to say not many. The opportunity to bring teachers, students and parents together to view what their student will be educated with is a step in the right direction for total support of technology integration. When my sons asked for help in a subject and I couldn't help them, I felt defeated as a parent. So I usually taught myself and then taught them---by the thrid child I was good! imagine putting the power of knowledge in helping their child learn in every hand of every parent. Very powerful!!

      Parents expect that their students learn using technology, but fail to see how that technology is integrated into the curriculum. When parents learn how this is happening they are much more likely to encourage their students in using technology and also learning themselves. "Although most parents do not know how to help their children with their education, with guidance and support, they may become increasingly involved in home learning activities and find themselves with opportunities to teach, to be models for and to guide their children." Roberts, 1992. In Online Resources for Parent/Family Involvement. ERIC Digest by Ngeow, Karen Yeok-Hwa, 1999

      I think one of the hardest things to do as a teacher is sit through a long, complicated and boring instructional seminar. I think that 10 minutes every Thursday would be something that I would look forward to, not dread. The tech department would also enjoy seeing smiling faces for a change. The opportunity to immediate try new technology every week is quite exciting! My question is dealing with the first part of the highlighted material. I realize that most all school districts have Technology Advisory Committees, but not every individual school. How would that work in terms of compliance with what the distrct would, or did recommend? Is it something worthwhile to invest in?
  • The school’s first ever App Night delved into the use of technology in the classroom to help with organization and productivity; world languages; social media; and basic skills and enrichment. Recommended apps for learning covered everything from global literacy apps to curriculum review tools and collaboration tools.
  • To stay current on the newest apps and mobile tools, the school runs a Technology Advisory Committee to get input and information directly from students. Teachers, on the other hand, get a 10-minute mini tech training every Thursday morning on a new app or tool that they can use in the classroom.

      How many of you as teachers can honestly say that the parents of your students really know how technology is being integrated in the classroom? I will venture to say not many and even if they do how, many know how to use the technology to apply it to the help their student? When my sons asked me to help them with a subject and I couldn't, I felt powerless. Most of the time, I would teach myself the subject (mostly upper level Math) and then teach my sons. By the third child, I was cooking! When parents can help their child they feel empowered and want to do more. App night is a way to empower parents to be an active participant in the education of their child.
