Creating time and opportunities for teachers to share ideas has led to "a common language about student learning and has accelerated our use of instructional technology," Moore notes. "You can't do that if teachers are working in isolation behind closed doors."

GenYES encourages teachers to learn about technology in the context of their own classroom, side-by-side with their students. Professional development that's embedded in the classroom has more staying power than one-shot workshops.

"Access, Adequacy, and Equity in Education Technology," published by the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, provides several broad recommendations for effecting change over the long term. They include: Improve classroom access to hardware, software, and the Internet, bolster technical support, strengthen professional development around the instructional uses of technology, and enlist teachers unions to advocate for tech funding and support. Yet it fails to offer solutions for educators looking to take immediate action.

Recently, Don introduced some of the SDP's curriculum developers to a resource called Google Lit Trips, which combines place-based literature study with the satellite technology of Google Earth. (See the Edutopia.org article "Google Lit Trips: Bringing Travel Tales to Life.") Don showed her colleagues lit trips for books that were already on the district's reading list, including The Grapes of Wrath. When they clicked on placemarks on the lit trip for Steinbeck's novel, the curriculum specialists saw video clips and other imagery that made the dust-bowl-era story more immediate. Don says it changed the conversation between the curriculum specialists and education-technology experts: "It got us working together."

More than 1,200 schools have participated in GenYES programs, which include training for students and on-site professional development for teachers. Martinez also advises sharing the vision of twenty-first-century learning with students. "Say to kids, 'Here are the things we imagine could happen with this technology. What do you think?'"
-
The bottom line is, do the best you can with what you've got.

"Create rituals. Have teachers bring examples of something cool that their kids have done. Build a community of practice. Get teachers more comfortable talking together. It doesn't cost anything, yet this seems to be hard for schools to do.

"Show them something that's immediately accessible. It needs to fit their objectives so that it validates and enhances what they are already doing," she says.
-
WebQuests. As part of the lesson, students use Internet resources (typically preselected by the teacher) to answer higher-order questions about a specific topic. "Find some that relate to what you are already teaching," Muir advises.

Add Sticky NoteWhat's stopping them?

A lot of teachers are still scared of technology as well.
-
Especially the teachers that have been in the profession for over twenty plus years.

I agree that professional development is lacking as all teacher are at different stages of digital learning!
-
It becomes very difficult to meet the needs of all teachers when they are at different levels of understanding and using technology.

Add Sticky Notelearn about technology in the context of their own classroom, side-by-side with their students
-
I think that this is a great way to model learning for your students. It's great for them to see you excited about learning, facing challenges and achieving success. I like to spend time at the end of an experience with technology sharing with each other one thing we have learned during the session.

-
Add Sticky Note"I needed a 'yes' principal -- and I have one,"
-
So if you don't have supportive principal are you making things more difficult than they have to be? i.e. get your administrators onside; educate them if necessary
-
-
Add Sticky Note"You have to jump in with what you have. But at the same time, the community needs to keep working on getting equitable access, building a vision, advocating for professional-development funding, and meeting the other essential conditions."
-
This where we are at. The key is to try things. You can work on getting the other necessary supports later. Build the roads and you can advocate for a bridge, but put the bridge in by itself in the middle of nowhere and will the roads be built?

Add Sticky NoteTeachers' fear of learning something new is still the main hurdle to technology integration

sounds like a "fundamentalist" - unwilling to change
-
-
Add Sticky Note"Teachers need to be successful early," he says. "You want to start with something familiar and close to what they are already doing, but so different that it can be a portal to new possibilities. It's about paradigm shifting."
-
That's right. How many will take a "leap" of faith? Most are more than willing to take small steps, especially when there is some guidance.
-
-
-
-
Add Sticky Note'What do you need the most?'
-
The "need" portion of this statement is important, before purchases are made...

Starting with the 'why this is important' matches well with our outcomes-based approach in curricula

True. This is scary for teachers, though. Thus, the important role of our ISITS personnel.

Excellent approach. This needs to be worked into the existing schedule... Learning lab time?

-
Good.
-

-
Works well to generate student examples of 'best-practise', upon which rubrics/assessment can be generated... Can this be worked in to PD around assessment.
