  1. ISLT 7366 Debbie Perkins Unit 4:  Elements of Technology Plan Week 6: Tech Policies Presentation Let’s Maintain a GOOD CONNECTION The Technology Policies We Need Now and Why

  2. Where are we now? Where are we going? • Did you know?

  3. “We are currently preparing students for jobs and technologies that don’t yet exist… in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.” ~Karl Fisch

  4. How are we going to get there?

  5. Connect with TFA’s(Technology Focus Areas) • TFA 1: Student Learning • TFA 2: Teacher Preparation and Delivery of Instruction • TFA 3: Administration, Data Management, and Communication • TFA 4: Resource Distribution and Use • TFA 5: Technical Support

  6. Make Technology Connections in the Classroom • Technology Focus Area 1 • Student achievement and performance will improve through the use of technology. “All learning begins with the learner. What children know and what they want to learn are not just constraints on what can be taught; they are the very foundation for learning.” ~John Dewey

  7. What many educators ask students to do… • Who was Harry Truman? • Born? Died? • Presidential Years • Three Important Facts • Write a brief report on the Vietnam War. • When began? Ended? • Who was President? • What countries were involved?

  8. No Connection! What are the results? • Little transfer of learning • Activity to activity • Subject to subject • “Doing school” • Students are not engaged. • Teachers are not engaged.

  9. How can we change the way we “do school”? • Train and involve teachers • Involve students through inquiry • Utilize cooperative learning strategies • Interdisciplinary units/lessons • Move up Bloom’s Taxonomy/Depth of Knowledge Inquiry-Based Learning coupled with Information Literacy – engages students and teachers; matches the curriculum, the standards, technology, and makes learning relevant! (http://www.fno.org/sum00/winning.html)

  10. Technology Connections for Teachers • Technology Focus Area 2 • Teacher preparation and delivery of instruction will improve through the use of technology. • CSIP 5c: The District will plan and implement a comprehensive staff development plan for both certified and classified employees that will allow them to maximize their job performance potential.

  11. Proposed Policies • Minimum of 4 Hours Technology PD/Semester Required • With Focus on Higher Levels of Technology Use • 30% Technology Budget Dedicated to Staff Development • Includes Training/Stipends for District Technology Coaches

  12. Grappling’s Technology and Learning Spectrum • Video 1 • Video 2 • Video 3

  13. What would transforming learning look like?

  14. Don’t get the wrong idea! • These “learning projects are NOT unstructured; they are differently structured. If anything, they require even more planning, preparation, and responsiveness from the educator—it's just that the educator's role is different.” http://www.youthlearn.org/learning/approach/inquiry.asp

  15. "I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn." Albert Einstein

  16. PowerPoint MS Word Website Excel Collaborative Projects “As a circle of light increases so does the circumference of the darkness surrounding it.” Albert Einstein Internet Inquiry-Based Learning WebQuests Graphic Organizers Constructivism

  17. Students Let's make the right connections. Success
