  1. NDE Catalyst GrantUpdate Report Delwyn L. Harnisch Ronald J. Shope Terese M. Janovec Teacher’s College, UNL

  2. Nebraska Symposium • Dates May 15-17 • Keynote Speakers Goals • Information on technology trends • Impart vision for technology • Challenges to support development of technology and technology infrastructure • Panels • Discussion with deans on administrative issues related to technology • Highlight administrative resources needed to support technology

  3. Nebraska Symposium • Breakout sessions • Highlight NDE catalyst projects • Highlight assessment models • Highlight models for collaborative relationships for technology training • Highlights ways NDE Catalyst has provided venue for development of technology resources • Poster Session: May 16 3:30-5:00

  4. Symposium Evaluation • Goal: To determine technology issues that are facing teacher education institutions and what further support is needed • Survey • Questions linked to symposium objectives • Questions regarding overall symposium • Questions regarding specific sessions • Administered online with authentication • Qualitative Data • Videos of sessions • Posters • Panel discussions

  5. Technology Toolkit: Purpose • Creation of collaborative community • Creating vision for technology development • Sharing resources for technology and assessment • Sharing expertise for instrument development and data analysis

  6. Development Phases: Strategy • Site Facilitators survey • Institutional changes as a result of catalyst grant • Assessment resources that can be shared • Challenges in the next five years • Lessons learned from catalyst grant • Components to be included in toolkit • How toolkit could help with assessing technology competencies • How information and resources would impact decisions regarding technology

  7. Toolkit development: Strategy Phase • Criteria for evaluating existing sites • Ease of Use/Organization • Is it clear how to navigate through the resource’s page? How accessible is the site? How long does it take to load? • Aesthetics • Is the interface uncluttered? Are graphics used wisely to enhance and supplement the text? How does the site appear in the browser? • Authoritative and reliable content • Is there a credible, contactable authority responsible for site content/maintenance? Is the information accurate? • Usefulness • Is it the site always available (no restrictions on time or location)? What are the search capabilities for siteinformation? Can visitors get the information they need within a reasonable number of links (3)?

  8. Criteria for evaluating existing sites • Rich and Unique • Is there enough information to make visiting the site worthwhile? Does the site contain original information or simply links? • Current • Is the date the source was last updated clearly shown? How often is it updated? Are dates of external link checks noted? • Availability of other information • Is their an internal search engine that indexes the whole site (full text)? Is there a search utility that indexes the Web or parts of it (subject specific indices)? • Collaborative • Does the resource enable access to “experts” in the field who share their knowledge through question and answer format? Are there archives of discussion groups?

  9. Sources for existing sites • Website sources • PT3 Recommendations • Dr. Jean Jones’ sources • Educator’s Listserves • Others • Survey of site facilitators to determine their vision and needs

  10. Toolkit Development: Design Phase • Design the interface: • Relevancy • Ease of use

  11. Toolkit Development:Production and Testing Phases • Production • HLML codes produced by Riverwatcher • Production according to our guidelines • Testing and Release • Site facilitators interact with toolkit • Changes made to site as needed

  12. Technology Competencies • Paper on previous work delivered at SITEhttp://www.mste.uiuc.edu/courses/pt3fa00/harnisch/SITE2002 /SITE2002Techready.pdf • Technology Readiness Paper for NDE Catalyst • Current status • Data collection for validation study with PT3 Profiler instruments underway at UNL • Website established for Grace University • Nebraska Wesleyan website under final construction

  13. Qualitative Gradebook • Sample projects being created at UNL for Cur 259 • Implementation will be shortly underway at Grace in ED 316
