Identifying the WHAT, getting to the HOW, Keeping IT!
1. What do YOU want to learn?
2. Will this support SWD in your classroom/school?
3. How will this support the TEAM around you?
4. What time, resource or funding will you need to learn it?
5. Is there a person or people who can provide on-going support for FREE?
6. What already exists to help YOU to become a MASTER?
7. Is this reasonable at this time?
8. Are there parents, students, support staff that are able to get involved to institutionalize this NEW learning?
9. Will YOU dedicate to sharing this NEW knowledge/skill with all as coach after you have Mastered?
10. Repeat #1 through #10.
Technology Integration that Changes a Culture of Learning
Start Small
Think Student Centered
Use free tools
Give depth and breath to thinking/teaching
Move from Traditional (teacher centered) to Transformational (student centered-with technology that is MEANINGFUL)
Collaborate-----Create-----CelebrateDelete & Repeat!
Technology is the
for students. It's something they want to master. Learning to use it enhances their self-esteem and makes them excited about coming to school.
