In PART A earlier today – YOU LEARNED . . . More about the CSI BRYANT Collaborative Project, Integrating Multiple Technologies

Three Approaches to Implementing Collaborative

Teaching1. Team teaching

educators jointly planning and presenting subject content to all students.

2. Supportive learning activities those that reinforce, enrich, or enhance learning for all

students. 3. Complementary instruction

one educator takes primary responsibility for teaching content material and the other for teaching functional how-to skills so students can successfully understand and acquire the content material.

How can a partnership help teachers integrate technology to enhance teaching and learning?

Master Technology Teacher Program (MTT)

enhance technology integration at clinical placement sites

build student and teacher knowledge for integrating technology

bridge gap between inservice, preservice, and teacher education program faculty for technology use

provide long-term, sustained professional development

A TRUE PARTNERSHIPA TRUE PARTNERSHIP

History of MTT Developed and began program at The University

of Alabama in 2000 (summer/4ws) 1st year: Invited two area high school teachers for

each of the five content areas in secondary program: Foreign Language, Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Sciences

2nd and 3rd year: Invited one additional inservice teacher each year in each content area (as needed in 3rd year)

4th and 5th year: those who chose to participate 6th year: Invited additional (PDS specific) teachers

Program includesProgram includes Access to technology (Technology on Wheels,

digital cameras, and online tutorials) Strong preservice teacher involvement—work

with clinical experience director Faculty involvement—must be maintained Partnership with UA’s Inservice Center --

Technology in Motion for technology training (began in Year 3)

Include on-site follow-up visits Introduction of emerging and innovative

technologies

Current ModelCurrent Model Meet at a participating MTT’s school Pre-observation meeting Observe technology being used in the

classroom Post-observation meeting Introduction of “new” tool/technology

Year 8 in ’07-’08Year 8 in ’07-’08 Domino effect in participating schools Schools have purchased

hardware/software used by MTTs MTTs have become “go to” person Provided additional partnerships Improved communication efforts Provided positive classroom experiences True technology integration experiences
