46. Technology Integration in Education “Effective integration of ICT into the educational process has its parallel in systemic educational reform . . . leadership is critical to reform and necessary to assist and sustain the changes required” (Schoeny, 2002). “[…] With this launch, Hong Kong entered a very exciting period of rapid expansion and development in this area. The challenge involved is not simply a case of technological adoption, but rather a process of innovation, which would require both financial and training support for schools, as well as cooperation between teachers and school leadership to ensure success” (Yuen, Law & Wong, 2003).

47. Emerging Pedagogical Paradigm Second International Information Technology in Education Study (M2) conducted under International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement http://sites.cite.hku.hk

48. Dimensions to understand Pedagogical Innovations Practices Old New Technology Old New How do we compare innovations? 6 dimensions of comparison • Goals • Teacher’s Role • Students’ Role • ICT used • Manifestation of Learning Outcome • Connectedness

49. School Level Factors – SITES M2 • Innovative classrooms are fabricated by a complex interaction of school contextual factors. In analyzing the cases, we identified five major contextual factors: (1) school background, (2) school strategies, (3) principal leadership, (4) school ICT infrastructure, and (5) government and community support. These contextual factors influenced change at the school level within which innovative pedagogical practices took place in classrooms. These factors help to characterize the nature of innovation schools.

50. Good Practices in Hong Kong Schools A R&D project that builds on the Good Practices in Schools (http://goodpractices.cite.hku.hk/) • Provide professional development support for a group of seconded teachers and research assistants on effective uses of ICT for curriculum and pedagogical innovation, leading and supporting pedagogical change in schools and action research • Facilitate the development of a network of mutually supportive schools that are actively engaged in co-construction of action-orientated school-based development initiatives in generating IT-supported learning and teaching practices via the good practices learning platform
