1. Meeting Six: Implementation: Models and Impact

2. Classroom Level (integration) Learning outcomes drive the selection of technology. Technology provides added value to teaching and learning. Technology assists in the assessment of learning outcomes. School Level (implementation Ready access to supported, managed technology. Prof Development is targeted at successful tech integration. Professional community enhances technology integration and implementation. ETIPS Leadership by team puts these into place

3. Ready access to supported, managed technology PD is targeted at successful tech integration Professional community enhances technology integration and implementation. NETS-T Technology support components and related impact Professional development standards and resources Professional community sources and benefits Implementation Models and Impact

4. Visually Represent • Relationships between • quality technology support, • professional development and • professional community and the • Relative importance of each of these aspects of technology implementation.

5. Teachers’ Views of Computers as Catalysts • 47 teachers, 20 schools, 3 states • 3 interviews, questionnaire, observations • What are the major ways you have changed as a teacher in the things you do in your classes. • Overall, would you say that computers have helped to change what you want to accomplish as a teacher, or have they mainly helped you to make changes you already wanted to make, or haven’t they had either of those impacts?

6. Introduction and Literature • Purposeful, selective summary • Statements frame data presentation • Are used in analysis • Claims are cited • Teacher development • Change process • Construction of knowledge

7. Findings • Constructivist teachers (10) & Weak constructivist (22) teachers • All had made changes to their practice • Two-thirds said computers helped them to make changes they already wanted to make • Reflection upon experience • Formal learning • Schoolwide support • Strongest constructivist teachers said change was because of external origin

8. Conclusion • Teachers have a sense of agency.They have opinions and needs.They will make changes, which tend to occur because of • Reflection upon experience • Schoolwide support • Formal learning • Revise image of computer as catalyst • Support teachers’ knowledge construction

9. Revisions to Visual Representation? • Relationships between • quality technology support, • professional development, and • professional community. • Relative importance of each of these aspects of technology implementation.
