Techie Teaching Tricks

Techie Teaching Tricks planning doc
 
Everything we will talk about today is on the blog:
 
  In January 2010, I attended the Subversive PD Conversation @ Educon 2010 lead by Beth Knittle - "Why are there still so many educators sitting in the back of the faculty meeting rolling their eyes whenever 21st Century Skills are on the agenda? How can Professional Development be meaningful, effective and important for the uninterested. ALL educators need to learn the necessary skills and to integrate technology into their classrooms and teaching. How can we help our colleagues see 21st century skills as valuable for themselves, and ultimately vital for their students' learning? What strategies work to bring the most resistant teachers on board? How can we bring teachers out of their (isolated) comfort zones and into collaborative learning/teaching environments of the present and future."   SO.....next step....

Congratulations!  Today is your day!

You’re off to great places

Where technology leads the way

You have brains in your head

You have feet in your shoes

You can steer yourself in any direction you choose

You can go with the pens or the mimio

You are the guy who’ll decide where to go



MARY - Why use interactive technology tools? add picture of vegetables to presi.

Eat your vegetables, you know they are good for you but you are reluctant to try new foods.

Identify a need, Evaluate the products (ease of use,how can it be used), Who is the most likely user, (which teacher will want to use it to engage students), Coach them as they learn, Wait for people to clamor -Tom Sawyer.

Like Apple leaving the iphone in the bar. 

 

Poll everywhere -
