Does using a college nickname and the willingness to wear a dinosaur costume seem like the way to encourage blended learning? No? Well, how about classroom walkthroughs and digital learning assessment instrument for a middle or high school DLC? Take your "Q" and let's talk about how to sell, assess, and celebrate teachers who are integrating technology tools!
CHALK UP:
Make a website. Get a Google Calendar. Create a Shared Drive. Get on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for resources and help. Use a bit.ly. Get certified. Send out information through the technology you are trying to integrate! Ask questions!
Rack It Up:
- Get everyone together - emphasis PD
- Have a new teacher PD separate from larger PD
- Discuss the "why" of technology integration.
- Classroom management is key!
- Do we have a technology integration policy?
- Put together 5 year plan - what does a teacher "look like" at your school?
- Pick a few initiatives each year.
The Bank Shot:
Using the "Cushion" to make the shot - use other events/resources to sell the technology!
- Digital Learning Day
- Hour of Code event
- Student groups: STLP, GWC, students interested in teaching, peer tutors
- BTW teachers love free food and jeans!
The Pocket:
Location, Location, Location - Choosing Your Pocket
- Digital door signs
- Digital badges
- Shout out your teachers - stop shouting already!
- Again with the walkthroughs (get you a master key)!
Eight Ball:
Don't sink it - get your admin trained and on board. Communicate with parents about blended learning.
