The program has three phases to it: Phase 1: STUDENT • Teachers are placed in the “student” position. The goal is to explore & learn in a safe environment. • Teachers explore a variety of technology and work on improving their overall technical skills • Teachers collaborate with each other to learn and expand knowledge about a given technology • Teachers share the skills they have learned with colleagues in their buildings • Teachers create a project that is evidence of their newfound knowledge Phase 2: TEACHER • Teachers continue to explore and learn new technology • Teachers look at existing curriculum & see how technology can enhance a given activity or lesson • Teachers experiment with integrating technology into existing activities & lessons • Teachers communicate with each other about how a delivery or technology worked (or not). • Teachers share the skills they have learned with colleagues in their buildings • Teachers create a project that is evidence of their newfound integration methods Phase 3: MENTOR • Teachers continue to explore and learn new technology • Teachers become models for the integration process; their classroom is used for observation • Teachers team-teach with each other or the Integration Specialist to enhance the integration process • Teachers continue to experiment with integrating technology into existing activities & lessons • Teachers observe other teachers for best practices and integration ideas • Teachers share the skills they have learned with colleagues in their buildings • Teachers create a project that is evidence of their newfound integration methods -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAY HELLO!
