Educational Technology Trends: 2011-2012
Technology Planning and Why Teachers will Save the Country
Friday Nov. 18th 11AM CT
In this presentation you will learn the 3 key categories of a well-developed technology plan and the 4 major planning pitfalls that will waste your schools time and money.
Studies show that any school looking to upgrade their use of technology must consider tablets and iPads.
Should that be step #1 of your revised technology plan?
To use these tools effectively, your plan will require a comprehensive step-by-step integration plan that doesn’t focus on “stuff” but clearly addresses “staff”
.
If you are an administrator, computer teacher or technology director, please consider these questions.
- Have your teachers’ technology skill levels been assessed so they can be trained at their current level?
- Do your teachers posses the 3 C’s (Confidence, Competence and Content)?
- Are your students clear and confident on how to use technology for learning and not just to download music and hang out online with friends?
- Has your curriculum been reevaluated and integrated with technology rich projects that supplement the traditional teaching methods?
- Are you just teaching the standards or are you also including complex problem solving that will better prepare your students for a competitive future?
Join us in discussing these concerns, what current statistics and trends are indicating & how we can solve these issues.
