Kevin,
ReplyDeleteYour timeline seems appropriate. I do suggest that you document how the various technologies are implemented in the classroom and what skills they are aligned with. Perhaps that information will be included in lesson plans?
Just something to consider.
Dr. Mason
A suggestion for the professional development in this area. The best professional development for this sort of training would be actual classroom implementation. I would look into trainers coming into the classrooms and showing these teachers how to incorporate the technology with the current lessson after they have been taught one on one how to use the technology. I know just seeing the amount of technology that is on our campus, and how little is being used. We have had trainings that have lasted the day on the different technologies but the number one complaint has been after you leave the workshop, now what?? How do I really use this with students in my classroom?? Good Luck!!
ReplyDeleteThe use of technology is very important when it comes to teaching. Technology can bring in a whole new world for students who would never get the opportunity to travel. Good luck on your internship.
