Friday I found a niche of time to speak with my tech partner. We concluded that our next step is for me to write a short letter to the lead technology teacher in the county. I plan to implement that letter Sunday. Including this woman's expertise prevents me from waisting precious time. It is necessary to analyze the entire project I have my eyes set upon.
Also, she may even offer us the lab up at the main school board building. I hope some good advice and more comes from this. I read Walden's resource site, http://www.wested.org/cs/tdl/view/tdl_tip/25 and will use several of their ideas when this workshop begins. One idea is to encourage staff to share any technology tips they may have. The other is to locate specialists in our school system that may be already using technology successfully to come share.
There is enough substantial support to plan this inservice. Let me get to that letter.

My district just bought into the idea of school blogs but they want to test it out first. The technological support team have asked us technology teacher's in the district to try the blogs out with the teacher's first then implement them in the lesson plans as you see fit. So we started a blog about ways teacher's would use them in the classroom with the students and its safe because the blog is set to be monitored by the support staff and only students and teacher's with district login accounts can access these blogs. You could see if your district would set something like this up to help communicate sharing those technological tips your looking for.
ReplyDeleteChris's ideas is a suggestion I may include with my letter to the Tech leader of my county. Thanks Chris.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to get some technology activities and lesson strategies going in my school, but right now I feel like I am probably the most well versed out of all of the teachers at my school when it comes to technology tools. Most teachers here still use notes on the overhead and every assignment is pen and paper. I think I need to set the ball in motion like you have. Nice work.
